Opomala tenebrosa, Walker, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1871, p. 246.
Female.—Piceous or ferruginous, slender, slightly compressed. Head and prothorax
-with a very slight middle keel, and with a few very slight longitudinal ridges.
Tip of the vertex flat, short-conical; front tawny, oblique, speckled with black
with four well-defined diverging keels; inner keels united near the tip of the vertex.
Antennae flat, lanceolate, about twice the length of the head. Prothorax with a
very slight keel on each side; fore border hardly rounded; hind border slightly
rounded. Hind femora as long as the abdomen. Hind tibiae a little shorter than
the hind femora; spines stout, of equal size. Eore-wings with irregular and very
minute areolets; those towards the tips larger, elongated, and regular. Hind-wings
cinereous hyaline, blackish at the tips; veins black, pale green or pale yellow at the
base and along the interior border.
Length of the body 14 lines; expansion of the fore-wings 24 lines.

Cyrtacanthacris punciipennis, Walker, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1871, p. 246.
Male.—Tawny,'slender, testaceous beneath. Head short; tip of the vertex
depressed, nearly round; front punctured, slightly oblique, with four well-defined
diverging keels; inner keels ending in the flat ridge which extends from the tip of
the vertex. Antennae slender, a little longer than the head and the prothorax together.
Prothorax with a very slight keel, which is most apparent near the hind
border; four transverse impressed lines, the first, as usual, widely interrupted in the
middle; fore border hardly curved; hind border slightly elongated and angular.
Prostemal spine thick, oblique, rounded at the tip, approaching the mesostémum.
Abdomen testaceous, with a piceous stripe which extends from the base to beyond
half the length. Eore-wings cinereous towards the tips, with numerous blackish
points, which mostly form very irregular bands; a row of subcostal black more
determinate points. Hind-wings cinereous; veins black.
Length of the body 15 lines; expansion of the fore-wings 30 lines.
The prostemal spine is shorter, stouter, and more obtuse than that of C. rubiginosa,
which this species closely resembles. The speckled fore-wings distinguish it
from C. spissa.

; tip of the vertex conical, prominent, slightly bilobed; front long, oblique, with
four well-defined keels; inner keels converging towards the face; outer keels

short, sellate, widening hindward, with a slight keel; a blackish mark on
each side in front of the transverse impressed line. Hind femora as long as the
abdomen. Hind tibiae slender, piceous, a little longer than the hind femora; spines
small. Eóre-wings narrow, cinereous, with two pellucid marks near the tips, the
mark on the hind border larger and more remote from the tip than the other, which
is costal. Hind-wings cinereous hyaline, with a blackish costal line; veins black.
Length of the body 10 lines; expansion of the fore-wings 20 lines.
