Description of an Orthopterous Insect, and two New Spe- 
cies of Crustacea, from New Zealand: in the collection 
of the British Museum. By Adam White. 
Deinacrida n. s. (Anostostoma, G.R. Gray?) Hindlegs 
nearly twice the length of the insect; tibiae quadrangular, broadest behind, 
the edges armed with spines coming out alternately ; spines very strong and 
sharp : body brown, beneath yelloiv : head punctured on the vertex ; antennae at 
least 2^ times the length of the insect : thorax punctured, with some small 
smoothish spaces in the middle ; the lateral margins somewhat thickened : 
the head is not nearly so broad nor so large as in Anostostoma ; the mandi- 
bles much shorter ; the labial palpi have the terminal joint swollen at the 
end, when dry it is slightly compressed from shrinking; the maxillary 
palpi are very long ; the three last joints cylindrical, the last longest, 
gradually clubbed at the end. 
Inhabits New Zealand ; Dr. Dieffenbach. 
The length of the only specimen I have seen, measuring from the forehead 
to the end of the abdomen exclusive of appendages, is 2^ inches. The spe- 
cimen may be in the larva state. The presternum, as in Anostostoma, with 
two spines, approximating in the middle ; meso- and metasternum deeply 
grooved behind, with a strong tooth on the sides behind. ^ 
Grapsus strigilatus, n. sp. Carapace with the front part depressed, hori- 
zontal, and occupying more than half its breadth in front, measuring from 
spine to spine ; lateral margins in front with three teeth ; many striae on 
the sides : hands large, swollen ; sides very smooth ; upper edge with a 
few wart-like excrescences. Colour: — Sides of carapace red, slightly 
mottled with yellow ; in front and on the back black, with large yellow 
marks ; legs reddish, tinged with blue. 
Inhabits New Zealand ; Dr. Dieffenbach. 
A species in form &c. agreeing with G. varius.
