SJiort-horned Grasshoppers from East Africa. 087 



in tlie coloration of the anteniui^ of tlie two sexos is very 

 remarkal)le, tlioug^h I cannot be qnite certain wliether it is 

 a case of sexnal dimorphism or individual variability only; 

 both males before me now have red anteniuie. 



8. Catantopsis tceniohitus uyandanus^ subsp. n. 



Differs from the typical West African specimens in the 

 following characters only: distinctly more slenderly built; 

 fastigium of the vertex more prominent ; antennae black 

 (testaceous in the typical form); prosternal tubercle nar- 

 rower at the base, but less pointed ; mesosternal interspace 

 more elongate and distinctly constricted ; elytra reaching 

 the hind knees (or slightly longer) ; hind femora more 

 slender, with the inner side spotted as in the typical form, 

 and also with a small black spot near the apex of the area 

 externo-media, and 2-3 minor spots at its middle, near 

 the apex of the basal half; hind tibise pale in the basal third 

 and bright rose in the rest ; hind tarsi rose.

Six males and eight females from Entebbe, Kivuvu, and 

 Mabira Forest, in Uganda ; one female from Bukoba, 

 Tanganyika Territory (all taken by C. C. Gowdey). A 

 female from Entebbe, 19. viii. 1911, designated as the type, 

 the others being paratypes. 



I think that I am right in referring Catantops tceniolatus 

 of Karsch to the genus Catantopsis^ Bol. (Mem. Soc. Ent. 

 Belg. xix. 1911, p. 98), founded on a species from Katanga. 

 As the Uganda specimens agree fairly well with the descrip- 

 tion by Karsch, but differ in some important and obviously 

 constant characters from the specimens before me from the 

 Gold Coast and Sierra Leone, which I take to represent 

 t\iQty^\Q.^\ tceniolatus (described from Bismark burg, Togo), I 

 regard the Uganda insects as a distinct geographical race. 

 Bolivar^s species, Catantopsis oponialiformis^ differs from 

 both races of C. taniolatus by its nuudi larger dimensions 

 and by the differently coloured hind femora. 



9. Catantops simjjlex^ sp. n. 



(? . One of the smaller species of the genus. Antennae 

 tliick, somewhat flattened, reaching to the middle coxce.
