GRYLLID.U. 63 



Male. Testaceous, slender, tomentose. Head slightly keeled between 

 the sockets of the antennae, shining in front. Eyes slightly prominent, at 

 some distance from the hind border of the head. Third joint of the palpi 

 slightly securiform. Antenna slender, more than twice the length of the 

 body. Prothorax a little longer than its breadth in front, where it is 

 slightly narrower than on the hind border. Abdomen piceous beneath. 

 Cerci testaceous, slender, hardly one-third of the length of the abdomen. 

 Legs stout, rather short ; hind tibias with four spines on the outer side and 

 with three on the inner side. Fore wings extending a little beyond the tip 

 of the abdomen, reticulated towards the tips ; tympanum occupying the 

 rest of the surface, except the space between the mediastinal vein and the 

 costa, which is very broad and has numerous parallel slightly oblique and 

 undulating veins. Hind wings not longer than the fore wings. Length 

 of the body 7 lines. 



In this and in the two preceding species the transverse vein is across 

 the middle of the tympanum, not near the base, as it is in O. saltator.

5. OBOCHARIS? PUSIFORMIS. 



Foem. Fulvus, fusiformis ; caput convexum, prothorace paullo angus- 

 lius ; palpi testacei, articulo 3o clavato ; antenna corpore fere duplo 

 longiores ; prothoracis carince laterales inde terminates ; cerci abdo- 

 minis dimidio longiores ; oviductus vix arena tus, abdomine paullo 

 longior ; pedes validi, tibiis posticis extus quinque spinosis intus sep- 

 tem spinosis ; a/ee anticte abdominis apvcem atlingentes, carinis late- 

 ralibus bene determinatis testaceo lineatis. 



Female. Tawny, fusiform. Head convex, a little narrower than the 

 fore border of the prothorax. Eyes rather small, slightly elongated and 

 prominent. Palpi testaceous ; third joint clavate, that of the maxillary 

 palpi truncated obliquely. Antennae very slender, nearly twice the length 

 of the body. Prolhorax transverse, not narrower iu front ; lateral keels 

 hardly apparent; sides slightly rounded. Cerci little more than half the 

 length of the abdomen. Oviduct hardly curved, black at the tip, a little 

 longer than the abdomen. Legs rather stout ; hind tibia? long, with five 

 slender spines on the outer side and with seven on the inner side. Fore 

 wings extending to the tip of the abdomen ; longitudinal veins numerous, 

 irregular; transverse sectors also irregular ; a testaceous line on each side 

 along most of the length of the lateral keel, which is sharply defined ; sub- 

 costal space broad, with seven very oblique veins. Hind wings not appa- 

 rent. Length of the body 7 lines. 



Tt differs much from the typical species of the genus in the convex 

 form and different reticulation of the fore wings.
