The original type of this species, described by Serville, 

 from M. Marchal's collection, is contained in the Ilopeian 

 collection at Oxford, having been purchased with the whole 

 of that collection, which contained by far the most beau- 

 tiful series of Orthopterous insects in any private museum.

Hab. ? 



This species has the body almost smooth, and brownish. 

 The head and prothorax of equal length. The mesothorax 

 rather dilated between the anterior margin and the middle, 

 and rather constricted behind the middle. The metatho- 

 rax is dilated beneath, its hinder division considerably 

 longer than the anterior. The abdomen is elongate, sub- 

 convex, narrowed from the base to the fourth segment, the 

 fifth widest at its extremity ; the three terminal segments 

 ■short, the terminal one with the lateral posterior angles 

 slightly produced. The tcgniina are oval, and rather 

 longer than the metathorax, and about half the length of 

 the wings ; the latter have the costal area pale dirty yellow
