Show 1902.] BRITISH EAST AFRICA AND UGANDA. 99 CYRTACANTHACRIN^E. CYRTACANTHACRIS. Cyrtacanthacris Walk. Cat. Derm. Salt. B.M. iii. p. 550 (1870). 19. CYRTACANTHACRIS PALLIDICORNIS, n. n. Acridium ruhcorne Burm. (nee Fabr.) Handb. Ent. ii. p. 630. n. 9 (1838); Stal, Rec. Orth. i. p. 60. n. 2 (1873). Acridmm succinctum Serv. (nee Linn.) Ins. Orth. p. 642 (1839). Seven specimens, between Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika. There is also an immature specimen in the collection, perhaps belonging to the same species, from Ruwenzori. This insect much resembles Acridium tataricum Stal (nee Linn., which probably = Schistocerca peregrina Oliv.). CATANTOPIN^E. CATANTOPS. Catantopjs Schaum. Monatsb. Berl. Akad. 1853, p. 779. 20. CATANTOPS CAPICOLA. Acrydium (Catantops) capicola Stal, Eugenie's Resa, p. 331 (1860). Catantops humeralis Stal (nee Thunb.), Rec. Orth. i. p. 69. n. 1 (1873). Baringo, 4000 feet, Dec. 20, 1901. A rather large specimen, measuring 48 millim. in expanse. CALLIPTAMINOE. EURYPHYMUS. Euryphymus Stal, Rec. Orth. i. p. 72 (1873). 21. EURYPHYMUS CRASSUS. Caloptenus crassus Walk. Cat. Derm. Salt. iv. p. 694. n. 39 (1870). C. illepidus Walk. 1. c. n. 40 (1870). Var. C. pinguis Walk. 1. c. n. 41 (1870). Twenty specimens from Baringo, 4000 feet, Dec. 20, 1899. Walker's specimens are from Natal, so far as they were labelled with any special locality. EUPREPOCVEMIN.«. HETERACRIS. Heteracris Walk. Cat. Derm. Salt. B. M. iv. p. 655 (1870). Demodocus Stal, Bihang Vet.-Akad. Handl. v. (4) p. 75 (1878). As Stll's name Demodocus is preoccupied in Coleoptera, I propose to restrict Walker's name Heteracris to this genus. |
