This is the largest species of the genus thus far hrought to 

 the attention of entomologists even if we accept Gerstäcker's 

 Stegastris volucris and <S'. corallipes as représentatives of the ge-

It is the présent writer's opinion that a goodly mimber of re- 

 présentatives of this and nearly allied gênera of locusts will ultima- 

 tely be found to occur tliroughout trojMcal America when this locality 

 has been carefully coUected by specialists. The représentatives of 

 this group of locusts are silvan in their distribution, and in addition 

 are for the most part arboreal in their habits, hence seidom taken 

 by the average coUector. 



Henia frenata Marschall. 



I find fourteen spécimens of a sraall locust with deplanate 

 hind tibiae and transparent coeruleaii wings. They come from the 

 common locality already noted. 



Copiocera austera G er s tack er. 



The single spécimen, a îemale, was taken September 21, 1906 

 at about 1000 meters above sea level. 



Zosperamerus aibopictus, sp. n. 



A very dark olive-green insect in which the face, cheeks, late- 

 ral lobes of the pronotum, pleura and hind femora are conspicuously 

 marked with dirty white patches or spots. 



Head large, the face i)unctulate, viewed laterally soraewhat 

 oblique, a little broader than the anterior edge of the pronotum, 

 the occiput short; eyes very large and prominent, a little longer 

 than wide, both the anterior and posterior edges rounded; vertex 

 gently depressed, quite narrow, little if any wider than the diame- 

 ter of the second antennal joint, the fastigium depressed, horizontal, 

 a trifle wider than long, bordered by a gently raised maigin and 

 provided at middle with a faint sulcus; frontal costa prominent 

 above the ocellus, plane with the exception of a row of punctures 

 along each side, below the ocellus almost obliterated: lateral or 

 facial carinae somewhat bowed outward at middle, the upper and 

 lower ends about efjually distant; antennae filiform, long and slen- 

 der being more than twice the combined length of the head and
