PRE FACE.

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 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.

Prothorax cylindrical, tuberculated, hardly wider on the hind border,
distinctly wider near the fore border. Mesothorax and metathorax more
minutely tuberculated. Abdomen smooth, longer by four lines than the
anterior part of the body, broader than the prothorax, tapering very slightly
from the base to the tip. Four anterior femora and tibiae 7 lines in
length; hind femora and hind tibiae 17 lines. Length of the body 51 lines.

This species and the three following and P. granulata belong to the
same section of the genus. The latter species is shortly characterized as
" prothorace subgrauulato," and this description is hardly sufficient to
identify it with those here recorded.

slightly dilated on the hind border, more dilated near the fore border.
Mesothorax and metathorax slightly tnberculate and rugulose. Abdomen
smooth, longer than the anterior part of the body; its hind part narrower
than its fore part, but broader than the prothorax. Legs long, slender:
fore femora 9 lines in length; middle femora 7^ lines; hind femora 16
lines, incrassated and tuberculated for nearly one-third of the length from

This species belongs to the section of the genus which includes
P. brevirostris, P. Ophiopsis and P. oculata. It differs from the two first
species and still more from P. oculata by the greater comparative length of
the abdomen, which is mutilated in the specimen described. The head
compared to the prothorax is shorter than that of P. brevirostris and longer
than that of the two following species.

Female. Brown. Head minutely punctured, about half the length
of the prothorax, much broader at its base than the fore border of the pro-
thorax, conical from thence to full half the length, linear from thence to
the eyes, in front of which it is conical and shorter than the eye. Eyes
elliptical, prominent. Antenna3 much longer than the cone of the head.
Prothorax very minutely tuberculated, cylindrical, slightly dilated on the
hind border, more dilated near the fore border. Mesothorax and meta-
thorax very minutely tuberculated. Abdomen smooth, much longer than
the anterior part of the body ; apical part narrower than the fore part, but
broader than the prolhorax; appendages as usual. Legs long, slender ;
four anterior femora 6 lines in length ; hind femora 13 lines, incrassated
and tuberculated for more than one-third of the length from the base; four
anterior tibia? 6 lines in length; hind tibiae 14 lines, slightly curved,
with two rows of minute spines. Length of the body 36 lines.

This species and P. tuberculata belong to the same section of the
genus, and are distinguished by the shortness of the head in front of the
eyes and by the abruptly incrassated basal part of the hind femora. The
greater shortness of the narrow part of the head behind the eyes and the
shorter and smoother prothorax separate P. granulosa from P. tuber-
culata.

The broader fore part of the vertex and the broader and more ex-
cavated fore wings distinguish this species from T. Philippensis. It differs
from T. punctala in the antennae, which are not dilated, and in the less
abruptly truncated lore wings.

Some of the Xiphocera here recorded may form disiinct genera, and
the five following species differ especially from the type, and the spines on
their hind tibiae are of equal size. They have some affinity to the Opomalce,
and on the oilier hand are allied to a few species which will be recorded in
the division that is defined by a slightly oblique front and by filiform
antenna?, though they differ in the one or in the other of these characters.

Female. Blackish, short. Head and prothorax tuberculate. Head
in front excavated and acutely conical above, with two keels beneath.
Antennae short, not dilated, tapering from the third joint to the 13th.
Keel of the prothorax very high and much rounded, acute in the middle of
the fore border, more acute in the middle of the hind border, near which it
is slightly dentate. Hind borders of the abdominal segments acutely
dentate in the middle. Hind femora deep, with a few minute spines
beneath and with one row of small spines above ; disk of the outer side irre-
gularly tessellated with ridges ; hind tibiae with two rows of stout whitish
black-tipped spines, those on the inner side longer than those on the outer
side. Length of the body 16 lines.

The shorter body, the more acute cone of the head, the shorter
antenna and the more rounded keel of the prothorax, distinguish it from
P. apicatis.

This genus is distinguished by the curved and oblique prosternal
spine, which in the typical species extends to the fore border of the ineso-
sternura. It includes several groups.

The long wings of the American species here described distinguish
them from C. Milberti, and their unspotted hind wings distinguish them
from C. cribrata.

a spot near the base; two oblique irregular and abbreviated bands, and
two exterior irregular longitudinal streaks. Hind wings scarlet; apical

The much smaller size and the colour of the hind wings distinguish
this species from C. rubella, to which it has most affinity.

some black points and with two black streaks above; hind tibiae a little
shorter, their spines with black tips, those on the inner side a little longer
than those on the outer side. Fore wings cinereous, with several dark
cinereous spots, a few of which form irregular oblique bands ; some blackish
spots towards the base and some smaller blackish spots along the costa ;
veins black in the spots. Hind wings pale cinereous, longer than the
abdomen ; veins black, whitish towards the base. Length of the body 24
lines ; expansion of the fore wings 58 lines.

The uncoloured hind wings distinguish it from C. Americana, to which
it has much affinity.
