\e<^s more than one tliird as long a.s the tibia;; hind femora with no ^'enicular 

 spines. Female wingless ; tegmina of male with tiie venation of Musonia. 

 Abdomen slightly expanded before the apex, as in Brunneria ; su])ra-anal plate 

 lanceolate, nearly twice as long as basal breadth ; anal cerci moniliform, con- 

 siderably longer than the supra-anal plate, subcylindrical, sube(|ual, only the 

 last joint tapering. 



This genus is closely allied to Musonia Strd (= Thespis Sauss.), differing 

 from it maiidy in the ultimate structure of the lore tibia;, the great size and 

 length of tlie anal cerci, and the apical expansion ol the abdomen. It appears 

 to fall between it and Brunneria.

Butler mentions two l.iival specimens from Charles Island. It seems impos- 

 sible that he shouhl have referred the Mantid I have described above to Vates, 

 and so 1 conclude this is the one Orthopteron recorded from the Galapagos 

 wliicli 1 have not seen.
