Abstract

Tetrigidae (Orthoptera) from the Indian region, lodged in the Lyman Entomological Museum of McGill University, have been studied. Two new species, Potua aptera n. sp. and Bolivaritettix nathani n. sp., are described. The hitherto unknown male of Epitettix tamilus Gunther 1939, and females of Criotettix latifrons Hebard 1929, and Lamellitettix fletcheri Hancock 1915 are also described for the first time. The following species are synonymized: Hedotettix cristatus Karny 1915, with H. punctatus Hancock 1909; and Thoradonta pruthii Gunther 1938, with Th. sinuata Hancock 1915. In addition, Loxibolus parvispinus Hancock 1912, is considered to be but a form of L. acutus Hancock 1904, and the name Coptotettix rugosus (Hancock 1904) is reinstated in place of C. hancocki (Kirby 1910).
