group are as follows:

Antenne inserted between the eyes. Prosternum unarmed. Tarsi depressed, four-jointed, the

first and second segments longitudinally silcate laterally; fore tibize unarmed apically above, the

foramina typically open; posterior tibiz with an apical spine above on each side. Organs of flight

variously developed, some forms being apterous, others fully winged and still others with the wings

and elytra more or less abortive; the tympani, even in fully winged forms, is rarely well developed as

is usual in the Locustide.

FAM. LOCUSTID/£ 7

SUBFAM. PHYLLOPHORINA&

The Phyllophorine is a small subfamily of Locustide which has been sometimes classed with

the Mecopodine. From that subfamily however it is amply distinct in the character of the posteriorly

produced pronotum, which here extends back over the base of the abdomen in the form of a hood

while in Mecopodine it is not hood-like nor posteriorly produced. The pronotum of the species of this

interesting little group of katydids is always spinose, dentate or crenulate along the lateral margins.

Besides the pronotal characters mentioned above this subfamily is characterized by having the

tarsi more or less depressed. the anterior tibiz provided with open linear or shell-shaped foramina, the

antenne inserted between the eyes, located further from the clypeal suture than from the top of the

head. The first and second tarsal segments are longitudinally sulcate laterally and the posterior tibize

are provided with apical spines on both sides above. The prosternum is armed with a pair of spines or

tubercles. The elytra of these insects are remarkable is so much as those of the male have no stridu-

lating tympani as is usually present in other katydids. It is very unlikely that any sound is produced in

the ordinary manner by these locustids, but members of both sexes probably stridulate by means ofa

remarkable and interesting harp-like formation of the metasternal lobes and the posterior coxe. This

organ is described by Dr. J. Carl in Arch. Sc. Phys. & Natur. Vol. 22, p. 2, October, 1906. The coxee

bear a series of parallel transverse stria which, when drawn over a series of stout tubercles situated

on the elevated edge of the metasternal plates. make the sound. Carl found them in Saszma spinosa,

males, Hyfervhomala lanceolata, female, and the male of another species of Hyperhomala. The organ is distinct

and easilly observed in a male of Hyferhomala woodford: from the Saiomon Islands. — Plate I, Fig. II.

But little is recorded of the life or habits of these insects so far as known to the writer. Like the

greater majority of the Locustide they are probably leaf feeders.

For those desiring to study this group the following three references are given, being three of

the more recent and most important contributions to the classification of this subfamily :

— Brunner von Wattenwyl, Abh. Senckenb. Ges. Frankfurt, Vol. 24, p. 259-265 (1898).

— Kirby, Ann. Nat. Hist. Vol. 4, p. 302-311 (1899).

— Bolivar, Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. Vol. 1, p. 172-178 (1903).

The five genera comprising this subfamily may be separated as follows :

FAM. LOCUSTID II

SUBFAM. TYMPANOPHORINA

This is a small subfamily consisting of but two genera, one described many years ago and one

just recently established. Both genera are monobasic, and nothing is recorded concerning the life

history of the species. Tympanophora is known only from the male while Mortoniellus is known only from

the female. This makes a key for their separation infeasible but as one genus is winged and known

only from Australia and the other is apterous and known only from Sumatra this does not so much matter.

PAM. LOCUSTIDAL 13

SUBFAM. PHASGONURINA

This is one of the smaller subfamilies of the Locustidae and comprises mostly large species

representing in their geographical distribution most of the Old World. Structurally the forms comprising

this group are very closely allied to the members of the subfamily Decticine, some species, in fact,

being about as eligible for membership in that group as in this, the main character separating them,

the presence of a free plantula beneath the first segment of the hind tarsi in the Decticine, being very

distinctly developed in some members of the Phasgonurine. (Plate |, Fig. 9.)

The distinguishing characters of the group are as follows :

Antenne inserted between the eyes. Prosternum bispinose; pronotum variously developed,

sometimes much produced posteriorly over the base of the elytra and sometimes but moderately pro-

duced. the lateral carinz sometimes rounded and sometimes acute. Trasi depressed, four jointed, the

first and second segments laterally sulcate, the first segment of the hind tarsi furnished beneath with a

short free plantula, or without any. Anterior tibiw sulcate laterally, armed above on the outer side, an

apical spine being always present; tympani shell-shaped, or linear; posterior tibie armed beneath with

two apical spines on each side and above with one on each side. Organs of flight usually well deve-

loped, sometimes abbreviated or abortive, especially in the female; tympanii well developed in the

winged males. Ovipositor usually about as long as the hind femora and variable in shape, being gently

curved either upwards or downwards, or nearly straight.

The five genera composing this subfamily are separated as follows :

FAM. LOCUSTIDE 17

SUBFAM. PHASMODINA

The Phasmodine are a group of Locustide composed of two genera, each consisting of a single

species which, especially Phasmodes vanatriformis, bears a close superficial resemblance to certain of the

Phasmidz, or walkingsticks. The group is not a natural one and should by rights be divided, as one of

its component genera has well developed open foramina while the other is entirely without hearing

organs. There is nothing recorded on the life history or habits of the members of the group, which are

all rare creatures, Phasmodes being known only from a single imperfect female in the British Museum.

The two genera may be separated by the following key :

FAM. LOCUSTIDA 10

SUBFAM. BRADYPORINA (= DERACANTHINA)

This subfamily is composed of half a dozen somewhat closely allied genera of clumsy, heavy

bodied insects, often of bright colors. The species are mostly of long standing, having been described,

and usually well figured, by early authors.

The members of this group occur in Europe and Asia. They seem to prefer open infertile

country where they live on the ground or on shrubbery, etc. The males stridulate all day long, accor-

ding to remarks made on a common European species by Brunner, and the female is almost certain to

be found near by.

Finding no character tenable for the separation of the six genera here discussed into two groups

I feel constrained to supress the subfamily Dearacanthine. It is accordingly sunk into the synonymy

under Bradyporine.

The Bradyporine are insects with short legs and large heavy bodies. They have four-jointed

tarsi which are more or less depressed and provided with rounded or spinose pads beneath; hind tarsi

with the third joint shorter than the second. Anterior and posterior tibia furnished above with an apical

spine on each side, the anterior tibia with foramina, Antenne situated below the eyes or between their

lower margins, nearer the clypeal suture than the top of the head. The prosternum is either unarmed

or armed with a pair of spines. Elytra concealed beneath pronotum, or usually so, of similar structure

in both sexes.

The genera of Bradyporine may be separated as follows :

Callimus. Fischer von Waldheim, Bull. Moscou, Vol. 6, p. 374 (1833). — A misspelling.

Characters. — Very similar to the preceeding genus. Having no specimens for study a detailed

description is necessarilly omitted. The rather unsatisfactory illustration of the type species by Jacobson

& Bianchi shows the vertex as apparently narrower than in Bradyporus and the median carina of the

pronotum less distinct.

In his original establishment of this genus the author specifially indicates the type as Locusta onos

Pallas. His subsequent designation as type the Callimenus obesus 1) is thus invalidated.

Type. — Gryllus onos, Pallis.

3. GENUS DERALLIMUS, NOV. GEN.

Characters. —- Differing from the preceeding genera especially by the ovipositor being

shorter, or scarcely longer, than the pronotum (Plate 1, Fig. 8) and from the succeeding genera of

the group by the shape of the eyes which in this genus are convex and but little prominent while in the

following genera they are globose and very prominent.

This genus is proposed for the several species listed below, of which the Locusta armadillo of

Thunberg is designated as the geneotype. Callimus could be used for these species were it not for the

fact that it is a misspelling of the genus Callimenus Fischer von Waldheim and I do not believe that

misspellings should be perpetuated as valid names. That Callimus is a misspelling of Callimenus is made

clear by referring to the works of Fischer quoted under the above genus and to Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr.

Characters. — In this genus the eyes are very prominent and globose and the fastigium of the

vertex, instead of being broad and rounded asin the allied genera, is tubercularly compressed between

the bases of the antennae.

The Gryllus ones of Pallas has been designated as the type of this genus, but as that species was

previously designated as the type of Callimenus it is untenable as the type of Deracantha. Were the second

originally included species, cinctus, taken as the type of Deracantha the genus would fall as a synonym

of Callimenus, cinctus being congeneric with onos, the type. Being desirous of retaining this old genus

Deracantha \ therefore designate avanea as the type, thus sinking the recent genus Dearacanthiella of Boli-

var In synonymy.
