642 e L. Bruner: 
Caloptenus baliensis Brancsik. 
There are two specimens of a second species of Caloptenus before me as I write, one of them a male 
bearing the label SO. Madagaskar, Antandroy-Gebiet, Kalkplateau, April, 1904, and the other, a female, 
coming from Andranohinaly (SW. Madagaskar), Waldgebiet, February, 1904. It is determined as 
C. baliensis Brancs. 
These insects are considerably smaller than those refered to the preceding species and lack the 
prolongation at the base of the curved claw on the tibial spurs mentioned in connection with that insect. 
Caloptenus >-plagiatus n. sp. Fig. 16. 
A medium sized insect in which the body is decidedly compressed, the head elongate, the hind 
femora very robust, and the pronotum prominently marked on the disk of the hind lobe by a V-shaped 
black patch the apex of which points to the rear. The insect is also characterized by having the front 
cheeks, sides of pronotum and pleura conspicuously marked with white streaks. 
Head large, elongate, about as wide as the front edge of the pronotum, the occiput short; vertex 
somewhat raised above the upper apex of the medium sized and not prominent eyes, about as wide as the 
frontal costa at the lower ocellus, deeply and roundly sulcate, the ocelli large and occupying the greater 
portion of fair sized triangles just back of the fastigium and above the base of the antennae. Frontal 
costa gently constricted at the fastigium and just below the ocellus, otherwise evenly divergent anteriorly, 
scarcely sulcate and faintly punctate, especially above the ocellus. Antennae filiform, slender, about one- 
third longer than the head and pronotum combined. Pronotum short, the hind lobe minutely and closely 
punctate, the sides much higher than long, the lateral carinae prominent, parallel on the anterior section 
of front lobe, then divergent to last transverse sulcus, beyond which they are again nearly parallel; median 
carina quite prominent, severed by the last transverse sulcus decidedly in advance of the middle, also by 
the anterior suleus; posterior edge of disk gently obtusangulate. Tegmina and wings fully developed, 
passing both the tip of the abdomen and the apex of the hind femora, irregularly maculate with brown 
and dark fuscous. Hind femora very robust, about reaching the apex of the abdomen, the superior carina 
strongly serrate; hind tibiae 8-spined externally and 9-spined internally, the apical claws large and strong. 
Prosternal spine coarse, transverse, directed gently to the front. 
General color pale testaceous, varied on the head, sides of pronotum, pleura and lower outer face 
of hind femora with dull white, on the head by a stripe on each side of face extending from middle of 
anterior edge of eyes to clypeus, on the cheeks a similar one that reaches from the occiput nearly to the 
middle of each mandible, on the sides of pronotum the lower edge, an oblique band near middle and a 
little dash midway between this and the lateral carina, on the pleura oblique and transverse patches in 
advance of the coxae. Hind femora with piceous lunules and a dark line extending a short distance along 
the lower carina bordering the external pennate area; lower edge of outer lobes also prominently marked 
with a black spot. Antennae entirely pallid. 
Length of body, 9, 29 m, of pronotum, 6 mm, of tegmina, 26 mm, of hind femora, 17 mm, greatest 
width of femora, 6,25 mm. 
Habitat: Manda Isl. (British East Africa), a single female. 
Euprepocnemis plorans Charpentier. 
This widely disseminated species is represented by four males and one female. They were taken 
on the Island of Pemba (British East Africa).
