PREFACE,

The object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List of
all the genera and species of Dermaptera Saltatoria known to
exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists.
The letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now
contained in the British Museum, followed by tho habitat and the
mode in which each of them was obtained ; and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and there-
fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

short and stunt, speckled wiih brown ; hind tibia; setose and not serrated
on each side, fonr spines on one side alternate with the same number on the
other. Fore wings relicnlated, cxicnding niucb beyond the abdomen ;
transverse sectors oblique ; a brown'stripe along the scapular vein including
various small pale marks; subcostal space p:ile cinereous, with irregular
transverse sectors and with ten very slaniing branches of the mediastinal
vein, the tenth forked. Hind wings extendinjj much beyond the fore wings.
Length of the body 9 lines.

This species has much affinity to P. indecorus, but recedes still more
from the typical form of the genus. The longitudinal veins and the reti-
culation of the fore wings are n)nre regular than they are in P. indecorus.

Zetobora GUTTIPENNIS.

Mas. Nigra ; caput anlice fulvum ; antenna picece, Jiliformes, sub-
mo7iiii formes, corpore paullo breviores ; prolhorax scaler, caput
superans, ferrugineo antice marginalus, sulcis nonnullis parvis
longitudinalibus ; ventris latera fulvo slrigata ; pedes fulvi ; alte
anticcB ferruginece, abdomen longissime superanles, testaceo guttatce,
basi nigricantes ; alee poslicce cinerece, striga cosiali nigricante.

Male. Black, smooth and shiniug beneath. Head small, concealed
by the prothorax, tawny towards the mouth. Eyes transversely elongated,
approximate on the vertex. Palpi tawny, nearly filiform ; third joint very
much longer than the second. Antennae piceous, filiform, submoniliform,
a little shorter than the body. Prothorax scabrous, transversely elliptical,
narrowly bordered with ferruginous in front and on each side, its breadth
about twice its length ; a few short longitudinal furrows on the disk.
Pectus tawny. Abdomen beneath with short transverse tawny streaks along
each side. Cerci black, short, lanceolate. Legs tawny, setulose, moderately
long and stout; hind tibiae with seven or eight spines on the outer side and
with three on the inner side. Fore wings ferruginous, very much longer
than the body, blackish and more coriaceous towards the base, adorned
except near the base with numerous testaceous dots ; longitudinal veins
forked. Hind wings cinereous, as long as the fore wings, with a blackish
costal streak. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings 30 lines.

The greater length of the wings compared to that of the abdomen
distinguishes it from other species of the geuus. It has most resemblance
to Z. rtigosa, from which it decidedly differs in the markings of the fore
wings.

Female P Yellow. Head red, yellow about the hind border, and with
a yellow spot on each side of the clypeus. Apical joint of the labial palpi
capitate. Prothorax with two broad oblique black streaks on each side, the
anterior streaks joining the fore border, the hind pair having between them
a round black spot which emits a short line in front. Oviduct nearly
straight, a little longer than the abdomen. Fore tibiae with two black bands,
one near the base, the other near the tip. Bands of the hind wings less
regular than those of the male.

The bands on the legs distinguish it from G. signifera and from
G. maculicollis. The bands of the hind wings are less regular than those
of G. signifera, and are more separated from each other than those of
G. maculicollis.

SUMMARY.

215

S U M M A E Y.

This Part of the Catalogue of Dermaptera contains the Gryllidce,
a Supplement to the Catalogue of Blattaiiae, and the beginning of the
Locustidae.

The Supplement to the Blattarise records the new species described
in the ' Nouveau Systeme des Blattaires, par C. Brunner de Wattenwyl,'
the most complete work hitherto published on that tribe, and which I was
not able to notice in the previous Catalogue. He describes about 378
species, and gives a synopsis of their geographical distribution in 16
regions, of which 2 are European, 4 American, 3 African, 4 Asiatic,
1 Australasian, 1 Australian, and 1 including the Isle in the Pacific and
New Zealand. He distributes the genera in eight families, and the
primary divisions are like those of De Saussure.

About 378 species of Gryllidae are registered in this Part, and their
geographical distribution is as follows : —
