Liotrachela lobata. Brunner, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien 41 (1891) 93; 
Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orthopt. 2 (1906) 432. 
One green specimen from Mount Maquiling {Baker). 
Known only from the Philippine Islands. 
Phaneroptera subcarinata Bolivar.f 
Phaneroptera subcarinata Bolivar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France 68 (1900) 
746; Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orthopt. 2 (1906) 436. 
One greenish yellow male from Los Banos (Baker) agrees 
perfectly with this Indian species (after Bolivar’s description) , 
but the elytra reach the hind knees in repose. They are almost 
coriaceous, with slightly prominent secondary veins. Their mar- 
ginal area is of the same color as the other parts of elytra and 
equally reticulated. Fore coxae armed with a distinct spine. 
The end of male abdomen is distinctly different from the follow- 
ing species and is well described by Bolivar. It agrees very 
well with the African Ph. nana. Brunner’s collection (at 
Vienna) possesses subcarinata under the name “nana” from 
several places in the Indo-malayan region.

Phaneroptera furcifera St&l. 
Phaneroptera furcifera StAl, Recensio Orthopt. 2 (1874) 29; Brunner, 
Monogr. Phaneropt. (1878) 210, 216; Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orthopt. 
2 (1906) 436. 
Two green females with red-veined hind wings from Los Banos 
{Baker) . This species forms with brevis Serville (syn. gracilis 
Burmeister 1839 nec. Germar 1817) a peculiar group, diverging 
from the other Phaneropteras by the exceedingly long subgenital 
lamina of the male and by the lack of spines on fore coxae. 
Brunner has placed the genus Phaneroptera in ti^e group with 
fore-coxal spines (as they are present in the other species) and 
has not mentioned that in furcifera and brevis this spine is quite 
rudimentary or entirely wanting, but in his collection he has 
declared it on the labels. Therefore Brunner’s table of genera 
leads, in the determination of these two species, never to Pha- 
neroptera, but to Pyrrhicia {Letana) . But the texture of the 
tegmina is totally different in these two genera and places fur- 
cifera and brevis in the genus Phaneroptera. Further, the ovi- 
positor is considerably shorter than in Letana despecta, and the 
hind wings are distinctly longer. The hind femora distinctly 
surpass the elytra in furcifera, in brevis not or scarcely at all.
