new Species of Hlatti'lic. 43 



stihfamily Oxylialoi!i;i'( = PU'otoptcriiia')- Ajthlehidca is uii- 

 (loiihtedly the same as Topper's genus Clioristiinti, deseribcd 

 two years previously, and A. linnmcri, Braues., if not 

 identical with C/iorislima (//lU'ruronic.f, Wlk., is most closely 

 allied. Ji/alta iip'irifeni, \Vlk. (Cat. IJhitt. M. M. p. 110, 

 IHOH), is the male of C (jalcnicoules, Wlk. : the type, which 

 is in the British Museum, is in extremely poor (•oiidition, the 

 abdomen and antennic being missing; it is smaller than 

 the female, the tegmina and wings are relatively longer and 

 would, 1 imagine, extend beyond the tip of the abdomen. 

 Tepj)cr's diagnosis of the genus is extremely brief, but 

 Branesik^s description of ^[/jhlcbidca is detailed enough to 

 render it readily recognizable. The species included in the 

 genus may l)e distinguished as follows : — 



a. Subgenitnl lamina in $ somewhat 

 cuoullate. 



b. Rut'i)u.s C. Bnmneri, Rrancs. 



bb. Testaceous C. Kershawi, Tepp. 



aa. Sub^'cuital lamina in $ not cucullate. 



b. Piceous above C. Jiyilro})ltoroides, Wlk. 



bb. Rufous C. (jalerttcoidex, Wlk. 



(syn. C. /iif(i/f/i-is, Tepp. ; 

 C. apicifern, Wlk.). 



Chorisofieura pectinata, Sauss. (Mel. Ortliopter. iv, p. 1;^1, 

 1872), may be referred to a new genus, on account of the 

 fusion of the radial and ulnar veins of the tcgmina— a con- 

 dition which obtains also in Ectobia, Wcstw., but not in the 

 genera Chorisoneura, Br., or Ckuristima, Tepp., to which it is 

 most nearly allied. 



Genus Ectoneura, nov. 



Allied to Choristima, Tepper, but the radial and ulnar 

 veins of tcgmina fused and emitting oblique veins to both 

 margins. Tegmina and wings somewhat reduced in the 

 female, but not to so great an extent as in Choristima ; 

 triangular apical area large and conspicuous. Supra-anal 

 lamina transverse or slightly produced; subgenital lamina 

 of the male narrow, triangular, of the female large and 

 subquadrate. Femora spineless beneath, except for apical 

 sj)ines, the formula of which is ^, }, }. 



Type, E. pectinatu, Sauss. 



Ectuneura Jignratd, sp. n. 

 J. Head fusco-castaneous with a pale testaceous band
