PREFACE.
Tue 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 the 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.

Legs piceous; hind femora reddish beneath, with oblique parallel cinereous
streaks on the outer side; hind tibia with six or seven spines on the outer
side and with four or five on the inner side. Fore wings lurid, extending
a little beyond the tip of the abdomen; mediastinal vein and its branches

streaks which approach a black spot on the front. Eyes small, round.

CATALOGUE OF BLATTARIA.

Note.—The Catalogue of Blattarie published in 1868 was un-
avoidably incomplete, as I was not able to have access to Brunner von
Wattenwyl’s ‘ Nouveau Systéme des Blattaires,’ nor to obtain information
respecting it. References, therefore, to the above work and descriptions of
a few new species are here added as a Supplement to the Catalogue.

P. regina is identical with P. morio and that P. mandarina is the female
of P. transversa.

ZETOBORA GUTTIPENNIS.

Mas. Nigra; caput antice fulvum; antenne picea, filiformes, sub-
moniliformes, corpore paullo breviores ; prothorax scaber, caput
superans, ferrugineo antice marginatus, sulcis nonnullis parvis
longitudinalibus ; ventris latera fulvo strigata; pedes fulvi; ale
antice ferruginee, abdomen longissime superantes, testaceo gullale,
basi nigricantes ; ale postice cinerea, striga costali nigricante.

Male. Black, smooth and shining 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. Antenne 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 tibiz 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 genus. It has most resemblance
to Z. rugosa, from which it decidedly differs in the markings of the fore
wings.

sternum and metasternum each armed with two slender obtuse spines.
Abdomen slender; apical appendages small. Cerci stout, lanceolate,
clothed with long hairs. Leys slender, very long; fore coxe armed with
an acute lanceolate spine; four posterior coxe armed with a shorter ubtuse
spine; four anterior femora with four rather short and slender spines on
each side; hind femora with ten minute spines on each side; fore tibiae
with five pairs of spines, the four first extremely long, the fifth much shorter

from the first to the fifth successively decrease in length, three shorter spines

This genus and Cerberodon will form a group in the family, and may
be distinguished from the neighbouring genera by their very prominent
eyes, by the spines on the fore femora, and by the structure of the fore
wings.

Female. Testaceous, shining. Head a little broader than the pro-
thorax, globose above. Mandibles black. Fourth joint of the maxillary
palpi rather longer than the third; tip black. Antenne piceous, testacecus
at the base. Prothorax transverse, without markings; a transverse furrow
near the fore border and an oblique furrow on each side. Cerci lanceolate,
finely pubescent, about one third of the length of the oviduct. Oviduct
curved upwerd, rather more than half the length of the abdomen. Femora
striped with black; four anterior femora finely setulose beneath ; hind
femora with about five minute teeth beneath; hind tibie with seven minute
spines on each side. Fore wings contracted towards the tips, as long as the
hind wings; veins of the ground hue; transverse sectors regular. Hind

The much shorter and more curved oviduct, the striped femora and
the less distance of the last band from the exterior border of the hind wings
distinguish it from @, maculicollis.

A specimen from Bourn in Mr. Saunders’ collection appears to bea
variety of this species. The oviduct is much longer than the abdomen.
The hind wings have six broad black bands and some intermediate black
dots; the bands are more regular in the right wing than in the left; the
sixth is narrower than the others, and there is an exterior black line.

the abdomen. Legs thick; hind femora with seven spines on each side,
these spines successively increasing in size to the apical one; hind tibia

testaceous, a little shorter than the hind wings, with an irregular abbre-
viated discoidal blackish stripe, some of the adjoining transverse sectors
clouded with blackish; the other veins tawny, except those in the stripe.

not whitish at the base.

SUMMARY. 215

Ss U MMAR Y.

—o-——

This Part of the Catalogue of Dermaptera contains the Gryllide,
a Supplement to the Catalogue of Blattarie, and the beginning of the
Locustide.

The Supplement to the Blattarie records the new species described
in thé ‘Nouveau Systéme 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 Gryllide are registered in this Part, and their
geographical distribution is as follows :—
