158 THIS ENTOMOLOGIST'S RECORD. 



no other distinct veins or veinlets. Anterior femora nearly twice as long as the 

 pronotum. Mesosternum and metasternum transverse, posteriorly truncate ; basal 

 foramina free. Cerci short, cylindrical, feebly incurved, with the apex obtuse. 

 Subgenital plate broad, very strongly recurved, its median keel much raised and 

 produced beyond its hind margin in the shape of a sharp, bean-like tooth. 



Genotype : Ancistrura truncata, sp. n. 



This new genus of the group Odontufae is closely related to 

 Barbitistes, Charp., but differs from it strongly by the shape of the 

 male cerci and subgenital plate. The very little known Odovtura 

 pidchripennis, Costa, also belongs to this genus ; it has been placed by 

 Brunner v. Wattenwyl* in the genus Barbitistes, but that author 

 himself considered it to represent a rather aberrant species. 



2. Ancistrura truncata, sp.n. 



<? . Reddish-yellow. Antennae above reddish-brown with the base paler, and 

 pale beneath. Head with the occiput and narrow postocular fasciae reddish -brown. 

 Disc of the pronotum of the same colour, darkened towards the middle line and 

 hind border, with numerous round brown points ; a pale median line runs from 

 the fastigium of vertex backwards through occiput and pronotum ; the lateral lobes 

 separated from the disc by yellow longitudinal fasciae ; the lobes themselves are 

 reddish-yellow, darkened towards the pale upper fascia, with brown points, which 

 are especially numerous along the lower margin of the fascia. Elytra pale with a 

 broad black lateral stripe. Abdomen with numerous reddish-brown points. 

 Subgenital plate large, almost vertical, longer than broad, slightly narrowed towards 

 the apex, sulcate along the middle basally and strongly carinate in the apical half ; 

 the carina is beak-shaped and extends well beyond the hind margin which is broadly 

 truncate and slightly emarginate in its middle ; hind angles straight ; the basal 

 part of the plate and the carina, except its apex, yellow ; the apical half and the 

 apex of carina brown. All tibiae with two upper carinae black. 

 Length of body ... 13 mm. 



(much contracted in the type ; probably 

 about 16-18mm in living insect ) 



,, ,, pronotum ... ,3 - 5 



,, ,, elytra ... 4-5 



,, ,, fore femora ... 6 - 5 



,, ,, hind ,, ... 16" 



The type of this species is unique ; it was taken by Dr. M. 

 Bun- at Lembet, Macedonia. 6. vii. 1916. 



This species is very much like A. pulchipennis, Costa, known from 

 Italy, but in the Italian species the subgenital plate is narrowed apically 

 while in the Macedonian one it is broadly truncate. 



3. Saga campbelli, sp.n. 



2 . Small and slender, resembling Saga puella, Wern. Pale green with a 

 whitish fascia, running along the lower margins of the pronotum, mesonotum and 

 metanotum, and with two less sharply denned yellowish fasciie along the sides of 

 the abdomen. Face smooth, pale. Pronotum about twice as long as broad ; its 

 fore margin scarcely and the hind one very feebly raised ; lateral lobes with the 

 lower margin distinctly dilated near the hind angle which is straight ; the fore 

 angle perfectly straight. Elytra and wings absent. Hind femora very slender, 

 four and half times as long as the pronotum. Subgenital plate triangular, feebly 

 attentuate towards the apex which is shallowly rotundato-emarginate. Ovipositor 

 almost straight, rather thick, about three times as long as the pronotum ; its 

 upper margin in the apical third denticulate, the lower margin with slightly larger 

 Out less dense denticulation in its apical fifth part only.
