 p. 95 (1906). 



Habitat. — A single 5 cricket collected in 1906 by 

 Mnir is referred here with considerable doubt. Its ovi- 

 positor is fully as long as the hind femora, a character 

 that does not agree with Saussure's measurement for hi- 

 color. It may be new, but if so is quite nearly related to 

 hicolor. 

 Mnesibulus (?) sp. 



A second but much smaller species of this or a closely 

 related genus is contained in material collected by Muir 

 at Rewa in 1906. It is rather mutilated, hence not read- 

 ily determinable nor describable. 

 Madasumma (?) sp. 



The collection made by Muir at Kewa in 1906 con- 

 tains still another cricket that seems difficult to determine 

 even as to its generic affinities. It is apparently a female, 

 but has the subgenital plate enormously developed into an 

 elongate scoop-like arrangement that is deeply and rather 

 widely longitudinally canaliculate below. Above, and part- 

 ly hidden by the upturned sides of the apparatus just de- 

 scribed, seems to be a dark-colored ovipositor of about the 

 same length as the plate. Its apex is blunt and quite 

 robust. 



No attempt will be made at this time to name or de- 

 scribe this insect.

 fined to Fiji and not represented in the collections at hand.
