grassliopper, on cunibu " (collection of Imperial Bureau of 

 Entomology). 



This species Is close to S. fuscicauda, 13ottcher. However, 

 it liad two rather than three rows of black cilia behind the 

 eyes. The forceps are essentially alike and the penes quite 

 similar. The fifth abdominal notum in the female of hutsoni 

 is folded on the middle point of the posterior margin, so tlnif: 

 the edges on either side of this point are either approximated 

 along the median ventral line or are nearly so and parallel. 

 This closely resembles the condition in fuscicauda, exce[)t 

 that in the latter there are two points of fold, slightly 

 separated, so that, while the two edges posterior to the points 

 of fold are essentially parallel, they are normally separated 

 and not approximated. 



Both holotype and allotype were selected from the specimens 

 taken from Aristolochia. 



The species is named in honour of Mr. J. C. Hutson, 

 Entomologist for Ceylon.
