the wings milk-white. Last ventral segment of the female much 

 longer than the preceding one, the tip rounded and slightly 

 sinuated each side ; last ventral segment of the male about twice 

 as long as the penultimate one, subtruncate at tip, with the sides 

 cut a little diagonal ; the inferior appendages not much longer 

 than the last segment, coarsely punctate, slightly grooved. 



Length to tip of venter, J -1^^, 2 5^ mm. ; to tip of wing- 

 covers 6-7 ram. 



Pive fairly perfect specimens are in the collection made in 

 St. Vincent by Mr. H. H. Smith. 



This species is smaller and narrower than the &. ani/ulata, 

 Spangb., to which it bears much resemblance, besides the fact that 

 in this new species the head is longer and the ocelli are nearer 

 the anterior margin. It appears almost exactly like G. placida, 

 Uhler, but in that species the last two ventral segments of male 

 are long and of nearly equal size, and the upper genital attachments 

 are abruptly narrowed beyond the middle, become acute at the tip, 

 and are hairy, and not punctate. 



Tettigo'ia (Proconia) eubeicosa, sp. nov. 



Form of Proconia circumducia, Signt. Carmine-red, the general 

 form tapering posteriorly. Head orbicularly tumid, polished, 

 varying from piceous through red to pale fulvous ; front long, 

 tumidly convex, having a few indented points superiorly ; the 

 eyes large, brown, and prominent, the surface at their inner angle 

 indented ; the occiput carinuted on the margin and de])ressed 

 before it ; clypeus tumidly convex, distinctly separated from the 

 front by the impressed line at base. Pronotum large, polished, 

 \^ider than long, convex, strongly advanced in a broad cur\e upon 

 the head, the submargin depressed ; colour fulvous, paler in front, 

 sometimes rufous and clouded posteriorly ; sternum and pleural 

 segments pale yellow, sometimes tinged with brown, powdered 

 with white. Legs pale brownish yellow, with the spines, tip of 

 tibiae, and apex of tarsi, including the nails, brown. Scutellum 

 tawny or red, acuminate ; the underlying dorsal segment dark, 

 bordered with testaceous. Wing-covers narrow, tapering, curving 

 to an acute tip, bright red, spread with blue, which omits the base, 

 borders, veins, and tip ; cells of the membrane large, long, and 

 few : ^ings smoke-colour, with the veins darker. Abdomen red, 

 slenderly tapering, with a pale blue band at apex of the last 

 tergal segment ; last ventral segment of female broadly sinuated, 

 with the outer corners acutely triangular ; the same segment of 

 male truncated. 



Length to end of abdomen (i-7 ram. ; width of pronotum 2 mm. 



Eight specimens of this brilliant species were taken near Kings- 

 town at altitudes ranging from 1300 to 2500 feet above the sea. 



Tettigonia (Proconia) eastigiata, sp. nov. 



Head wide, more triangularly curved at tip than in the preceding 

 species ; ground-colour black above, pale yellow beneath. Vertex
