Order PROTORTHOPTERA Handlirsch. 



Family SPANIODEEID^] Handlirsch. 



Spaniodeea Handlirsch. 



I have based this genus on a single species. Having now 

 before me 7 other forms, it is possible to make a more exact 

 description of the generic characters. 



Anterior wing generally with rounded apex. Costa marginal ; 

 subcosta shortened, uniting with the radius ; radius simple, not 

 split at its apex ; sector rising very near the base but never 

 cleft before the middle of the wing, forming only a small 

 number of branches ; medial vein cleft near the base into 2 

 main branches, remaining either simple or splitting into a few 

 twigs. The medialis is always free and never meets with the 

 sector. Cubitus long, more or less S-shaped, with 3-6 simple 

 or forked branches, bent downward to the posterior margin.
