Described from one male and two females from Tzaiieen, 

 Transvaal, 10. xii. 1918. The second paratypie female is 

 almost as dark-coloured above as the male, but vvitliout a 

 disliuct lateral fascia on the head, pronotum, ami pleuno ; 

 the lateral lobes of the pronotum are uniformly buff- 

 coloured ; the elytra are also uniformly coloured, without 

 scapular stripe, the scapular area being callous but uni- 

 color.)us with tiic rest of the elytra. The coloration in this 

 species seems to be rather inconstant, but it is very well 

 deKned by its morphological characters, aud very easily 

 separated from the only known species of the genus, 

 Puraparga striyosu^ Bol., by its shortened elytra. 



LXIII. — An interesting new Grasshopper from Mount 

 Everest. By B. P. Uvarov, F.E.S. 



Though the Mount Everest Expediiion of 1921 brought 

 home only two specimens of grasshoppers, one of them proved 

 ft) be extremely interesting and representing a new genus, 

 which is described below. Another specimen is a Brt/odema 

 sp. which cannot at present be named spt'eificaiiy, as it is a 

 female, while the si)ecies nearest to it — Bryodema holJereriy 

 Krauss, — tlescribed from Kuku-Nor in Mongolia, is known 

 in the male sex only.
