Oa new Species 0/ LocustidtB//-*?/?! South Africa. 239 



This species is somewhat similar to H. hamatitis, Lew., 

 especially in the form of the inner stria and the outline of the 

 raeso- and metasterna. 



Hah. Sumatra [Dr. Foerster). 



Ulster tetricus, sp. n. 



Late ovalis, convexiusculus, niger, nitidus ; stria frontali Integra, 

 antice siuuata ; pronoto stria unica, basi abbreviata, augulo antice 

 foveolato ; elytris striis 1-4 integris, 5 basi incurva, abbreviata, 

 suturali ultra medium extensa ; tibiis aaticis 5-6-deaticulatis. 



L. 3| miU. 



Broadly oval, rather convex, black and shining ; the head, 

 frontal stria complete and sinuous anteriorly; the thorax, 

 lateral stria is shortened at the base, and there is a circular 

 fovea at the angle, fovea smaller than that of H. geminus, Er., 

 and without punctures, the surface has a shallow leather-like 

 sculpture and a fine but obscure punctuation ; the elytra, 

 there is a fine oblique humeral stria and an indication of an 

 inner humeral at the apes, 1— i dorsal are strong and com- 

 plete, 5 is shortened before the base and incurved anteriorly, 

 sutural reaches beyond the middle and apically turns away 

 from the suture ; the punctuation of the pygidia is micro- 

 scopical ; the presternum, anterior lobe strongly marginate, 

 keel narrow before the cox^ and without striee ; the meso- 

 sternum is widely arched anteriorly, but the marginal stria is 

 complete and more arched, it does not quite follow the out- 

 line of the anterior edge ; the anterior tibice are dilated near 

 the tarsi, and have five or six small denticulations. 



The superficies of this species resembles that of H. sessilis, 

 Lew. 



Hab. Sumatra.

XXXL — Descriptions of Five neiv Species of Locustidje from 

 South Africa. By W. F. Kirby, F.LS., F.E.S.' 



Since the publication of my papers on South-African Locus- 

 tidse in the ' Transactions of the Entomological Society of 

 London' for 1902 Mr. Distant has submitted a few more 

 specimens to me for examination, among which I find three 

 species of the genus IJeteropternis, Saussure, and one each of 

 Dittopternisy Saussure, and Caloptenopsis, Bolivar, which 

 appear to be new and wiiich I therefore describe below.
