PREFACE.

The object of tlie 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, aud there-
fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

CATALOGUE

OF

LOCUSTIDiE

(continued).

The Locuslidae include several distinct families, but the division of
the above group is postpoued, in order to ascertain more satisfactorily the
number of families, and to assign to each family every genus that it
includes. Of the genera of Locustidae in the preceding Part of the Cata-
logue, Deiuacrida, Rhapido])hora, Hadenoecus, Ceuthophyllus, Schoeno-
bales, Udeopsylla, Daihiiiia, Tropidischia, Camptoiiotus, Macropaihus,
Libanasa, Machamala, Licodia, Lutosa and Lucena, may be included in
the llhapidophoridie. The genera Cerberodon, Monocerophora, Anosto-
toma, Gnaihoclita, Hemideina, Licola, Gryllacris, Larnaca, Stenopelmatus
and Lezina, belong to the Stenopelmaiida), to which Servillea and Cralo-
malus are also here referred.

men Iriseriatim spinosmn ; tibia bispinosa.

Male. Testaceous, partly tinged with brown. Head above and pro-
thorax scabrous. Head with a rather long sliglitly ascending spine between

lateral spines long; siiles pale testaceous, slightly nflexed. Abtiomen with
three dorsal rows of spines. Legs long; femora without spines; tibiae with
two spines beneath. Length ol' the body 15 lines.

It is much allied to H. militaris ; the two typical specimens of the
latter appear to be in an early stage of growth. It is distinguished from
If. ceyvitnct by the two red siripes on the abdomen, by the fewer spines on
the hind part of the proiiiorax, and by the hind tibice, which have no spines
above.

The striped body will di>tinguish it from the precediuir species of this
group. The shorter legs will distinguish il from //. fortis and from
J/, militaris, and the spine on the head is longer than ibat of //. Petersii.

The black spines of the femora distinguish this species from P. rufo-

clearly defined than those of the typical species, such as P. falcata and
P. augmtifolia.

narrower than the fore border of the proihorax ; vertex with a truncated
conical keel,'which is a little broader than the first joint of the antennae and

interrupted; second very deeply bent liiiidward ; lateral keels well defined

It is typical of a section in the genus which includes the largest
species and to which M. ihnruciciun and M. Aztecuiii also belong. The
prothorax is consideraldy longer than broad, which character disiinguishes
it from M. Azlecum and it iloes not agree with the description of JIJ. Tol-
tecum. It is nearly allied to Steiro(li>n tknracicum, Serv., but the descrip-
tion of the latter does not fully agree with it.

between M. subctquale aud M. decoratum as regards the keel of the vertex,
which is less equal in breadth than that of 31. subaquale and less abruptly
attenuated than that of M. decoratum, and it differs from both these
species in having a longer oviduct. It also differs from M. decoratum iu

Legs long, thick; four anterior femora with a few minute spines; hind
femora full four-uinlhs of the length of the fore wings, and like the four
anterior tibiae with two rows of small spines beneath ; hind tibiae with a row
of rather small spines on each of the four keels ; third joint of the tarsi with
much larger foliaceous appendages than those of the other joints. Fore
wings broad, much rounded and hardly narrower at the lips; costa slightly
rounded ; interior border straight ; space between the costa and the scapular
with many irregular areolels towards the base, and in the exterior part with
one row of oblique transverse veins, some of which are forked; scapular
and externo-medial diverging from each other beyond the middle and
including some areolets of various shape ; areolets in the hinder part with
the usual number of rows, mostly narrow, of regular form ; externo-medial
vein emitting two oblique branches; inierno-medial vein emitting five
oblique branches beyond the middle. Hind wings very broad, rather
shorter than the fore wings, much rounded at the tips, slightly notched at
the end of the discoidal fold; apical space minutely reticulated.

This genus in some characters is more allied to the Pliyllopleridae than
to the Pseudophyllidce.

abruptly attenuated towards the tip, v^itll two biaiticnlate styles which
are shorter th:in the attenuated part. Legs shirt, stout; spines of the
tibiae and of the four anterior lemora rudimentary; hind femora with two
rows of short stout spines. Fore wings minutely reticulated, with a few
brown dots and speckles; areokts irregular. Length of the body
12 lines.

The fore wings of the specimen described appear to be not fully
developed and extend very little beyond tiie abdomen; the hind wings are
very small. The other specimen here recorded is in a yet earlier state and
may i)e a distinct species; the prothorax is more keeled, and the hind
femora are minutely serrated above.
