No. 5573- Genus ScHiSTOCERCA Stal. The insects, which form the genus Schistocerca, are all large in bod\^ and ample in length of wing. Hence many, if not'all of them, are at times apt to wander far from region to region over most of the sub- tropical and tropical lands of the Western Hemisphere. Like many other groups of locusts, the different forms tend to vary more or less markedly in color, as well as to a certain extent in size. A number of them change color a couple of times during their lives. Especially is this last statement true with reference to the forms which hibernate in the imaginal stage. Many of the species have been described time and again by different writers, who have had occasion to study them. This state of affairs has resulted in a rich and complicated synonymy, difficult to decide without a great amount of material from various localities and access to the types for comparison. Then, furthermore, the earlier writers made their descriptions so brief, that they apply quite as well as two or more species or forms, as we understand them today. In the present paper, accordingly, no attempt will be made to discuss the synonymy and probable distribution of the several species coming under notice. 138. Schistocerca flavolinea sp. nov. A remarkably large and strikingly colored insect, which runs to the vicinity oi flavofasciafa in Scudder's Table of the Species of Schistocerca as published on pages 442-447 of Vol. XXXIV of the Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. It naturally belongs with my species, Schistocerca formosa and Schistocerca magnifica, when size and beauty is considered. The forrner comes from Colombia, and the latter from the Bahamas. Our new form is an east Bolivian insect. Head comparatively narrow, not quite as wide
