I am now quite well satisfied that Saussure’s Oxycoryphus monte- 
zuma and Stal’s Syrbula leucocerca are the same species and the male 
of this species. If I am correct in this conclusion, then the true name 
of the species will be Syrbula montezuma Sauss, as his species was 
described in 1861, in the Revue et Magasin de Zoologie. Uhler’s de¬ 
scription of St. adniirabilis was first published in the proceedings of 
the Entomological Society of Philadelphia in 1864; and Stal’s descrip¬ 
tion of S. lucocerca in his Recensio Ortliopterorum Pt. I in 1873. As 
Stal’s genus Syrbula appears to have been founded on the males of 
the two supposed species, Ox. jnontezuma and S. leucocerca , it will 
need some modification so as to include the female. As neither the 
male or female appears to belong properly to Stenobothrus , but both 
approach nearer to Syrbula than any other genus, the male evidently 
belonging there, I have included the species in the latter genus. The 
antennae of the female instead of being slightly enlarged at the tip, 
as in the male and as Stal’s generic description requires, is really 
slightly enlarged and flattened at the base, and narrowed toward the 
apex. 
6. STENOBOTHRUS MACULIPENNIS. Scudd. 
Vertex with the margins raised, the sides 
very slightly expanded in front of the eyes; 
apex blunt; lateral foveolae, when present 
very shallow and broader toward the eyes 
than at the a r >ex, but these are often oblit¬ 
erated by the absence of their lower mar¬ 
gin. Face oblique, nearly straight, frontal 
costa somewhat prominent, sides parallel, or 
nearly so, until near the clypeus, where it 
expands and fades, sometimes sulcate, at 
stenobothrus macuiipennis. others scarcely sulcate; lateral carinai dis¬ 
ci. Perfect^msect.^. Pupa. ^ nct Pronotum slightly constricted about 
the middle; the three carinse rather slight, the lateral converging at the 
middle, nearly parallel on front lobe, diverging on the posterior lobe; 
hind border obtusely rounded. Elytra and wings passing the abdomen. 
Color. —Head and disk of the pronotum green, (in some individuals 
brown); a reddish-brown broad band behind the eyes reaches to the 
hind edge of the pronotum, limited above by the lateral carinae, which 
are white, but partially crossing these near the hind border; sides of 
the pronotum below the band brownish or dull yellowish. Elytra 
green, with a median band of equidistant, square black spots along its 
whole extent, besides a few irregularly-scattered smaller black spots; 
sometimes the inner halves of the area entirely of a rust-red color. 
Pegs yellowish-brown; the hind femora sometimes streaked with red
