iDcirgins piceous; the middle dorsal line strongly indented. Tegmina 
dusky-fuscescent, whitish yellow at base and sides, reaching to the 
penultimate segment, the nervures deep brown, excepting upon the 
sides, where they are yellow; wings of about the same length as the 
tegmina. Tergum black, the edges of the segments and a few broader 
stripes at the lateral edges of the three last segments, and the cerci. 
yellow. Venter yellow, with a row of black dots each side. Oviposi¬ 
tor about the same as in G. necflectm^ Scudd. Legs yellow, the poste¬ 
rior femora exteriorly having the oblique ridges of the posterior portion 
and a spot just before and one upon the patella brown, the interior sur¬ 
face superiorly is closely spotted with fuscous; posterior tibiae beneath, 
and the tips of the spines piceous. 
Length from front to end of abdomen 15 millims. Ovipositor lo^- 
millims. Posterior femur 10 millims. 
Hah. Kansas. 
The only specimen which I have seen is a female, and was kindly 
given to me by Mr. Henry Ulke. The vertex has a deep indentation 
upon it, but as it shows slight evidences of a crack at that point, it may 
have been occasioned by being crushed. The antennae and cerci are 
for the most part broken off of this specimen. 
LOCUSTINA. 
CAMPTONOTUS, nov. gen. 
Form similar to Geuthophilus, Scudd. Head large, oval, much broader 
than the prothorax and not deeply sunken into it. Eyes ovate, verti¬ 
cal, situated on the sides but little behind the basal joint of the an¬ 
tennae, and exceeding it a little in length. Face, vertex and cheeks 
convex. Maxillary palpi long, the last joint as long as the preceding 
one, a very little inflated at the tip. xVntennae at least five times the 
length of the body without the ovipositor. Pronotum trapezoidal, the 
sides not carried downwards as far as the lower line of the eyes, the 
lateral margins somewhat broadly recurved; meso- and meta-notum 
very small, confined to the dorsum and not prolonged downwards upon 
the sides, their transverse diameter thus being but little more than half 
that of the pronotum, their sides also recurved. Females essentially ap¬ 
terous. Dorsal segments of the abdomen about equal in length, the two 
posterior ones shorter than the rest; cerci very short, slender, hairy.
