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 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.

B. Hiud border of the prothorax triangular. - - Monachoda.

Blabera gigantea.

It may be said that several species have been included with this name,
but its limits can hardly be ascertained till many specimens have been
examined. The specimen from Para agrees with Stoll's figure, pi. 1 d. f. 2,
but the sides of the prothorax are less dilated, the fore border is more
rounded, the black shield-like patch in the disk contains no pale marks,
slightly decreases in breadth hindward, and extends quite to the hind
border. The first joint of the antennae is abuut four limes longer than the
breadth of the space between the eyes. In the specimen from Rio Negro
the prothorax is like that of Stoll's figure; the patch on the thorax includes
no pale marks, its sides are undulating, as described by De Wattenwyl,
but they are not represented so by Stoll ; the space between the eyes is a
little less than the length of the first joint of the antennae; the fore wings
are more rounded at the tips than those of Stoll's fig. 1, and of the speci-
men from Para. The specimen from Demerara agrees with Stoll's fig. 2
as regards the prothorax; the patch comes near to the hind border; it
contains some tawny spots, which are not represented by Stoll, but nearly
agree with those mentioned by De Wattenwyl ; there is a testaceous stripe
on the front, which is not the case in the specimen from Para nor in that
from Rio Negro; the first joint of the antenna is nearly four times longer
than the breadth between the eyes. The specimen from Tejuca has the
prothorax more dilated than it is in the examples from Demerara and from
Rio Negro, and still more than in that from Para, with which it agrees in
the black patch on the thorax; the fore wings are more rounded at the
tips than in the specimen from Para; the .space between the eyes is less
than half the length of the first joint of the antennas. In the specimen
from Chontales the fore wings are more narrowed at the tips than in that
from Para, and still more thau in those of the other three examples before
mentioned; the form of the prothorax and its mark are as in the Para
specimen; the first joint of the antennae is four times longer than the
breadth between the eyes; the legs, except the coxae, are black ; the hind
femora have a testaceous stripe; the brown mark on the left fore wing is

BLATTARTJE. 3

much larger than that in the Para individual ; it is nearly allied to
B. quadrifera, but the fore wings are longer and narrower at the tips.

Page 2.

Blabera Mexicana.

The specimen there recorded agrees, as regards the fore wings, with
de Wattenwyl's description of B. trapezoidea ; the ventral segments and
the legs are ldack, each of the former has an abbreviated luteous band and
on each side a luteous spot; the breadth between the eyes is full half the
length of the first joint of the antenna.

Prothorax scabious, transversely elliptical ; anterior half of the border red;
some longitudinal impressed lines in the disk. Pectus, legs, sides of the
abdomen and hind borders of the segments tawny ; femora setose beneath.
Fore wings extending for full half the length beyond the abdomen, with
numerous minute pale testaceous dots, occasionally with a large pale
testaceous patch in the disk near the base. Hind wings pellucid; veins
pale. Length of the body 8 — 9 Hues ; expansion of the fore wings 28 —
30 lines.

The prothorax is regularly elliptical, and thus differs from that of P.
Mexicana, in which the hind part is broader than the fore part, and is
truncated on each side.

Genus 9. PERENA.

The longer and more ascending head and the thin broad oblique spine
of the prosternum distinguish this genus from Opomala.

DERMAPTERA SALTATORIA. 51

Genus 10. OPOMALA.

The American species form three groups. The first is represented hy
bivittata, viridis, filiforrais, vittata and femoralis.

The second group is limited to cylindrodes, aud is distinguished from
the first by the broad i'astigium.

The third also includes one species and is distinguished from the first
and from the second by the structure of the prothorax, which has a keel
and becomes narrower in front. It hardly belongs to this genus.

In Africa there is one group which resembles the secoud American
group as regards the fasligium, but has a keeled prothorax. 0. basalis
and O. inteiiineata are varieties of one species.

In Asia there are two types. The first, including convergens and
tarsalis, corresponds wilh the first American group. The second, repre-
sented by semipicta and galeata, agrees with the African form.

The Australasian O. inornata agrees with the third American group
in the prothorax, which tapers towards the head, but does not recede so
much as that species from the typical form of the genus.

In Australia the first group, represented by O. sordida, comes nearest
to the Australasian species, but the prothorax is keeled and is less narrowed
in front.

The second group includes amaena, brevitibia and brevicoruis, and
corresponds to the first American group.

Picta, cingulata and serrata, whose habitat is unknown, agree with the
African form.

The following species is referred with doubt to this genus :—

Genus XIPHOCERA.

In America the first group includes emarginata (= inclarata), tri-
lineata, funesta, auripenuis, jucunda and plagiata. The last species differs
slightly from the rest, the prothorax not being narrower in front.

The second group (basalis and elegans) differs from the first by the
much crested prothorax, and perhaps should be removed to Tropinotus.

The two Asiatic species differ widely from those of America, and
perhaps should be transferred to Opomala.

The Australian group is also closely allied to Opomala and forms two
subgroups; one with lanceolate antenna?, ex X. adusta ; the other with
filiform anteuna?, ex X. exempta and X. opomaloides.

ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF
DERMAPTERA.

M. Branner de Wattenwyl, in his Essay on the Geographical
Distribution of the Blattariae, has divided the globe into these sixteen
regions : —

1. North and Central Europe.

2. South Europe.

3. North Africa, Mediterranean coast.

4. West Africa, coast of the Atlantic.

5. South and East Africa, coast of the Indian Ocean.

6. West Asia, Asia Minor, Arabia, Persia.

7. North Asia, Siberia.

8. Central Asia, China.

9. Hindostan, with Ceylon.

10. East Indies not in British possession, Islands or Australasia.

11. Australia.

12. Polynesia, New Zealand.

13. South America, towards the Pacific.

14. South America, towards the Atlantic.

15. Central America.

16. North America.

Nine of these, the Nos. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, are northward of the
equator; two, Nos. 11, 12, are south of the equator ; and five, Nos. 4, 5, 10,
13, 14, are on both sides of the equator. Some small islands of Polynesia
north of the equator are exceptions.

The regions which the genera inhabit are indicated by the numbers
after the names of the genera in the following list: —

The Dermaptera-fauna may be noticed with reference to tbe com-
paratively recent natural cbanges on tbe surface of tbe earib. Wben tbe
latter part of the glacial period commenced and the arctic climate began
to retreat from tbe equator towards the poles, the insect-life in tbe tropical
regions was gradually developed or widened, and sent forth branches to the
north and to the south in the track of vegetation. In proportion as tbe
present inter-tropical Insect-fauna is more known it exhibits a greater
abundance of forms that correspond to those of temperate countries, and
this number will probably be much increased when the insects of the
mountains of low latitudes are more fully observed. The hot countries, on
the contrary, have many groups that are peculiarly their own and have no
representatives elsewhere, and the fauna of each higher latitude may be
considered as a branch or colony from the fauna of the lower latitude,
whence it migrated according as conditions of temperature and arrange-
ments of l$nd and sea and vegetable distribution allowed its advance. The

great winter epoch and the ensuing time and the contingencies are repre-
sented in a slight degree by the alternations of the seasons, by birds of
passage, and by the northward migrations of some southern inescts during
a hoi season. The Dermaptera generally are more limited to warm regions
than are the other orders of insects, which also more or less precede them
in time of yearly appearance. Omitting all notice of the sinking of former
continents and of the rising of present continents and islands, a few words
may be said with regard to the way in which ramifications from the
Dermaptera in tropical regions have converged towards the poles. Some
tribes appear to have left their first habitation entirely as the increasing
heat and dryness deprived them of circumstances essential to their existence,
and some seem to have increased in numbers and variety after their migra-
tion. The advance to the north from the equatorial regions may be
included in four principal divisions: 1st, through China to Japan;
2nd, from the East Indies along the Himalaya and other mountain ranges
to West Asia and to Europe; 3rd, from Central Africa to North Africa
and to Europe; 4th, from Equatorial America to North America. There
are many instances of one kind of insect being a native both of Japan and
of Europe, or of Europe and of the Mountains of Hindostan, and the close
resemblance between numerous insects of North America and of North
Europe is well known, and indicates the former existence of an intervening
continent. However, large numbers of insects in North America and in
Europe differ widely from each other, those of the former having been
introduced from South America and those of the latter from the more
southern parts of the old world. The regions on the south of the equator
form three principal divisions: 1st, that of South America, where insect-
life is most abundant; 2nd, Australia and the numerous neighbouring
islands; 3rd., South Africa, where the insects are least numerous.

The sixteen regions before mentioned are noticed as follows, omitting
in each succeeding region the genera before enumerated: —

1st. North Europe.

Blatta Tbamnotrizon Pachytylus

Periplaneta Decticus OEdipoda

Loboptera Xiphidium Stenobothrus

Gryllotalpa Meconema Epacromia

Myrmecophila Locusta Stetheophyma

Gryllus Phaneroptera Parapleurus

Nemobius Acridium Gomphocerus

Odontura Caloptenus Chrysochraon

Gampsocleis Podisma Tettix

Blatta is spread over all the regions, and the species of tropical
countries are numerous. Periplaneta is not a native of Europe and has not
been recorded as such in North Africa, nor in West Asia nor in North Asia,
but P. orientalis, the common cockroach or the " black beetle," establishes
itself in the houses of most English towns, and is domiciled in North
America. The species of Loboptera are few and small ; it has been recorded
also as a native of Hindostan. Gryllotalpa, the mole cricket, inhabits all the

104 GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION

sixteen regions, and the species do not exhibit much difference of structure.
Myrmecophila is of small size and inhabits ants' nests, and is therefore not
likely to be observed except where insects are much studied ; it occurs in
South Europe and in North Africa. Gryllus is found in all the regions ;
the chirp of G. domesticus, the house cricket, is well known, and multitudes
of G. campestris, the field cricket, occur in several parts of Europe.
Neraobius is allied to Gryllus, inhabits woods, and is found also in South
Europe, in Hindostan, in Australia, in South America towards the Atlantic,
in Central America and in North America. Odontura inhabits South
Europe, North Africa, West Asia and South America towards the Atlantic.
Gampsocleis inhabits China. Thamnotrizon inhabits South Europe,
North Africa, West Asia and North Asia. Decticus inhabits South
Europe, North Africa, West Asia, North Asia, China, Hindostan, South
America towards the Atlantic, Central America and North America.
Xiphidium inhabits South Europe, North Africa, West Africa, South
Africa, China, Hindostan, Australasia, Australia and New Zealand.
Meconema inhabits South Europe and Hindostan. Locusta inhabits
Sooth Europe, North Africa, North Asia, Hindostan, Australasia, Australia,
New Zealand and South America towards the Pacific. Phaneroptera
inhabits South Europe, North Africa, West Africa, South Africa, China,
Hindostan, Australasia, Australia, South America on both sides, Central
America and North America. These eight genera are long-horned grass-
hoppers and mostly dwell in herbage; Xiphidium and Meconema are
found on trees and shrubs. Acridium occurs in all the regions: this
genus and Pachytylus include the migratory locusts, which are scarce and
generally appear as stragglers in the western part of North Europe.
Caloptenus and GSdipoda inhabit all the regions, but are much more
characteristic of South Europe than of North Europe: the latter genus is
distinguished by its bright red or blue or yellow hind wings. Podisma is
recorded as a native of South Europe, of West Africa, of South Africa, of
West Asia, of both sides of South America, of Central America and of
North America. Pachytylus has not been recorded as a native of the
Pacific side of S. America, nor of Central America, but inhabits all the
other regions. Stenobothrus and Tettix have not been discovered in
Polynesia, but are found in all the other regions; most of the grasshoppers
in England are Stenobothri. Epacromia inhabits South Europe, North
Africa, West Africa, South Africa, West Asia, China, Hindostan,
Australasia, Australia and New Zealand. Stetheophyma occurs in South
Europe aud in North America; it is remarkable that S. variegata is nearly
peculiar to the Swiss Alps and to North America. Gomphocerus inhabits
South Europe, North Asia, China, Hindostan, South America towards the
Atlantic and North America. Chrysochraon inhabits South Europe, and
perhaps also South America towards the Atlantic.

2nd. South Europe.

Polypbaga Brachytrypes Platyblemmus

Panchlora Mogoplistes Arachnocephalus

Aphlebia GScanthus Hadencecus

Polyzosteria Trigonidium Callimenus

Tridactylus Phalangopsis Onconotus

OF DEHMAPTF.RA. 105

Pycnogaster Saga Heteracris

Barbilistes Conocephalus Platvphyma

Ephippiger Tryxalis Slauronotus

Cyrtaspis Pyrgomorpha Paracinema

Thyreunotus Opomala Oxycoryphus

Orphania Porthetis Thrincbus

Rhacocleis Cuculligera Glyphanus

In South Europe, as compared to the first region, the genera of this
order are much more numerous, as if the advance from the tropical regions
had been partly arrested here, and the aspect of the Mediterranean shore
in South France, where swarms of Dermapiera spring from the ground
with a noise like the crackling of wood or of straw on fire, sufficiently show
that the species chiefly dwell in warm districts.

Polyphaga inhabits North Africa, South Africa, West Asia, China,
Hindostau, South America towards ihe Atlantic and Central America ; the
European form (Heterogamia) has some characters which distinguish it
from the American form (Homeogamia). Panchlora is found in West
Africa, in South Africa, in Hindostan, in Australasia, in both sides of South
America, in Central America and in North America ; it has probably been
imported into Europe, for some of the species, like those of Periplaneta,
have the faculty of adapting themselves to artificial circumstances and are
generally distributed in the world. Aphlebia inhabits North Afriea.
Polyzosteria inhabits North Africa, West Africa, South Africa, China,
Hiudostan, Australia, South America on both sides, Central America and
North America; some species mimic Coleopterous larva? in form and in
colour. Tridaciylus burrows like the mole cricket, and inhabits Hindostan,
Australasia, Central America and South America. Bracbytrypes is known
only in Sicily as a European genus, and occurs in West Africa, South
Africa, China, Hindostan, Australasia and Australia, and one species,
B. achatinus, is a native of all these regions. Mogoplistes inhabits North
America. CEcanthus inhabits West Africa, South Africa, Hindostan,
Australasia, Australia and New Zealand. Trigonidium inhabits Mauritius^
Ceylon, Java and the Hawaiian Isles ; it mimics some Coleopterous insects.
Phalangopsis inhabits West Africa, South Africa, Hindostan, Australasia,
South America towards the Atlantic, Central America and North America.
Platyblemmusis found in North Africa and in Hindostau. Arachnocephalus
is as yet only known in the Neapolitan district. Hadenrecus is North
American and perhaps also Australian, and is one of the cave-insects, the
dwellers in darkness; some of these insects have excessively long antennae,
whereby to feel far about them. Callimenus, Barbilistes, Cyrtaspis,
Pterolepis, Orphania, Rhacocleis and Cuculligera are, as yet, peculiar to
South Europe. Onconotus inhabits West Asia and North Asia. Pycno-
gaster inhabits North Africa. Ephippiger inhabits North Africa, West
Asia and Australia. Thyreonotus inhabits South Africa and North
America. Saga, iu which the European Dermapiera attain their largest
development, inhabits all the regions about the Mediterranean, also West
Africa, South Africa, North Asia, Hindostan, Australia and the Sandwich
Isles. Conocephalus is recorded in the preceding list from all the following
regions, excepting West Asia, North Asia, Australia and South America
towards the Pacific. Tryxalis inhabits North Africa, West Africa, South

106 GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION

Africa, West Asia, China, Hiudostan, Australasia, Australia and the
Sandwich Isles; the two European species are remarkable on account of
their wide diffusion and their variation in colour. Pyrgomorpha inhabits
North Africa, South Africa, Hindostan, Australasia, South America towards
the Atlantic and North America. Opomala inhabits West Africa, South
Africa, China, Hindostan, Australasia, Australia and South America
towards the Atlantic. Porthetis inhabits North Africa. Heteracris appears
in North Africa, in West Africa, in South Africa and in all the regions
from China to Australia; it attains its largest dimensions in Hindostan,
where it rivals the locusts in size. Platvphyma has been recorded in
Central America. Staurouotus inhabits North Africa and North Asia.
The only recorded species of Paracinema is a native of South Europe and
of South Africa. Oxycorypbus inhabits North Africa, West Asia and
Central America. Thrinchus inhabits North Africa and West Asia, and
has been recorded from South America towards the Pacific. Glyphauus
has not been mentioned as a native of any other region.

3rd. North Africa.

Holocompsa Acridoxena Cyrtacanthacris

Leziua Puecilocera Chrotogonus

Hetrodes Dericorys

The genera of North Africa are mostly similar to those of South
Europe, with the exception of a few forms which appear also in West
Africa and in South Alrica. This region is often devastated by the locusts
that invade it in myriads from the interior of Africa, and sometimes extend
their ravages to South Europe. Holocompsa inhabits South Africa,
Australasia and Central America. Lezina, Acridoxena and Dericorys have
not been said to occur in any other region. Hetrodes inhabits all the
coasts of Africa and also West Asia. Pcecilocera inhabits South Africa and
Hindostan. Chrotogonus inhabits South Africa, Hindostan and Australia.
Cyrtacanthacris, of which the numerous species are distinguished from
those of Acridium by the oblique and curved prosternal spine, appears in
Egypt and is plentiful in the following regions: — South Africa, China,
Hindostan, Australasia, Australia, South America towards the Atlantic,
Central America and North America.

4th. West Africa.

Nauphceta Scleropterus Mesops

Oxyhaloa Homoeogryllus Phymateus

Epilampra Palolta Petasia

Ischnoptera Pseudorbynchus Tinaria

Hemimacris Orophus Cladouotus

Phceophilacris Pseudophyllus Hymenotes

Cosmoderus Mecopoda

The Dermaptera of this region are less known than those of many
other regions, and the genera are probably much more numerous than
they now appear to be. Nauphceta inhabits South Africa, Australasia,
South America towards the Atlantic and Central America. Oxyhaloa

OF DKRMAPTKRA.

inhabits East Africa. Epilampra inhabits South Africa, China, Hindustan,
Australasia, Australia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central
America, and attains a very large size in some of the numerous species of
the East Indian Archipelago. Ischnoptera inhabits South Africa,
Hiudostan, Australasia, Australia and all the regions of America. Selerop-
terus inhabits South Africa, Australasia and, New Zealand. Homceogryllus
and Petasia inhabit South Africa ; Hemimacris, Phceophilacris, Cosmoderus
and Palolta are as yet unknown except in this region. Pseudorhynchus
inhabits Australasia and Australia. Orophus inhabits South Africa, South
America towards the Atlantic, Central America and North America.
Pseudophyllus, indicating by its name the great resemblance of its fore
wings to leaves, inhabits South Africa, China, Hindostan (where it attains
a vast size) and Australasia. Orophus and Phylloptera also belong to the
group with leaf-like fore wings. Mecopoda and Pliymateus inhabit South
Africa, Hindostan and Australasia. Mesops inhabits South Africa,
Hindostan, Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic, and perhaps
North America. Tinaria appears as yet to be peculiar to St. Helena.
Cladonolus inhabits South Afiica, China, Hindostan and Australasia.
Hymenotes, remarkable by its resemblance to a dead leaf, inhabits
Australasia.

The genera of Dermaptera in South Africa appear to be very nume-
rous. The same species of locusts that occasionally devastate North
Africa are also destructive here. Proscratea inhabits Central America and
both sides of South America. Zetobora inhabits Australasia, Australia and
the three regions of America just mentioned. Aptera, Homalodemas,
Gromphadorhina, Euryzosteria, Tivia, Lobeda, Podoscirtus, Ectaloderus,
Hiipinus, Clonia, Horatospbaga, Debrona, Aspidonotus, Strongyloderus,
Legna, Amycus, Akicera, Pamphagus, Nocarodes, Eupropacris, Pnorisa,
Morphacris, Pneumora and Cystoccelia are peculiar to this region ; the two
last genera have a very remarkable and peculiar structure. Nessa and
Biachycola inhabit South America towards the Atlantic. Euthyrrapha

inhabits Polynesia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central
America; it has much likeness to a beetle. Temnopteryx inhabits
Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central America.
Perisphaeria inhabits China, Hindustan, Australasia and South America
towards the Atlantic ; some of the species have a remarkable resemblance
to the genus Glomeris in the Myriapoda. Blepharodera and Derocalymna
inhabit also Australasia. Pbyllopalpus inhabits Hindostan, South America
towards the Atlantic, Central America and North America; perhaps this
genus should be made exclusively American by the removal of the African
and Asiatic species from it. Platvdactylus inhabits China, Hindostan,
Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central America.
Zaora inhabits Australia and Central America; perhaps this genus
should be transferred to the Ceuihophilidae. Laurepa inhabits Austral-
asia, Australia, New Zealand and Central America. Ornebius inhabits
Hindostan and Australasia. Euscyrtus inhabits Hindostan. Anostos-
toma inhabits Australia, where it is of very great size. Gryllacris inhabits
China, Hindustan, Australasia, Australia, South America towards
the Atlantic and Central America; this is especially an Asiatic genus,
perhaps the American species should be separated from it. Stenopel-
matus inhabits Australia, South America towards the Pacific, Central
America and North America. Libanasa inhabits New Zealand.
Copiophora inhabits Ceutral America and both sides of South America.
Ephippitytha inhabits Hindostan and Australasia. Phylloplera inhabits
West Asia, Hindostan, Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic,
Central America and North America. It is doubtful whether Pomatonota
inhabits Australasia. Xiphocera inhabits China, Hindostan, Australasia,
Australia, South America towards the Atlantic, Central America and North
America. Monachidium inhabits South America towards the Atlantic;
this genus and Dericorys form a group, which is distinguished by the high
keel of the thorax. Catanlops iuhabits China. Oxya inhabits China,
Hindostan, Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic, Central
America and North America. Platacanthus inhabits Australia. Trachypetra
may be considered as a synonym of Balracholeltix, and inhabits
Hindostan.

6th. West Asia, Asia Minor, Arabia and Persia.

This region is occasionally ravaged by the locust, Acridium pere-
grinum. Phlocerus iuhabits the Caucasus. Bradyporus inhabits Siberia.

Atlantic. Microgryllacris and Natricia inhabit Australia. Callimenellus
and Lucera are of China. Trigonopteryx inhabits Australasia; the fore
wings of this genus have a remarkable resemblance to dead chipped leaves.
Mastax inhabits Australasia and South America towards the Atlantic.
Scelymena inhabits Hindostan and Australasia ; this is the only amphibious
or semi-aquatic genus of Dermaptera; it dives readily and the hind tibia?
are furnished with a narrow membrane.

This region includes many genera remarkable on account of their
size or of their peculiar structure; it has beeu supposed from observations
that there was a contineut formerly extending from Ceylon to the islands
of Australasia before the appearance of the southern part of Hindostan.

Planetica, Corydia, Deropeltis, Phisis, Rhaphidophora, Ancylecha,
Tedla, Aprion and Phyllochoreia inhabit Australasia. Corydia and
Deropeltis are distinguished by their resemblance to beetles. Rhaphido-
phora is of large size and probably inhabits caves. Phyllochoreia has an
extraordinary likeness to a leaf. Melestora and Lazura inhabit South
America towards the Atlantic. Phlebenotum and Phyllophora inhabit
Australasia and Australia. Pseudomops and Eneoptera inhabit Australasia,
South America towards the Atlantic and Central America ; the species of
the former genus have much beauty and elegance and resemble beetles.
Acheta, Landreva, Itara, Madasumma, Tarraga, Meloimorpha, Noia,
Letana, Megalodon, Zulpha, Molpa, Vetralla, Zumala, Strongyloderus,
Sanaa, Atractomorpha, Calanus, Bactrophora, Teratodes, Apalacris, Lipta-
cris and Ceracris only inhabit Hindostan : Achela is an example of the
greatest development of the cricket-tribe; Monticollis, the name of the
only species of Teratodes, expresses its peculiar structure; Meloimorpha
has much resemblance to a beetle. Stehodon inhabits Australasia and
South America towards the Atlantic, and its species are some of the largest
in the Saltatoria.

Platyxyphus, Nisitra, Xabea, Condylomera, Scepastus, Licola, Larnaca,
Lesina, Arachnacris, Piura, Sanabria, Leptoderes, Zacatula, Sexava,
Perena, Stenoxyphus, Opiptacris, Phlceoba, Tripetalocera and Ophiotettix.
Some of them have much singularity of structure. Xabea has a long
slender prothorax and very broad fore wings. Condylomera and Scepastus
have a great likeness to beetles; Dr. Gerstacker, the author of the latter
genus, has mentioned its mimicry of a Pachyrhynchus. Ophiotettix differs
in an extraordinary way from the rest of the Tettigidae ; the head and the
antenna? are very long aud the latter are clubbed.

Diploptera, Hexacentrus and Tegra inhabit Australia. Homalopteryx
inhabits South America towards the Atlantic. Nyctibora inhabits South
America towards the Atlantic and Central America. Agrcecia inhabits
Australia, Polynesia and South America towards the Atlantic. Lucina?
palliceps and Meroncidius? crenifolius, the one from Cambodia, the other
from Borneo, probably belong to different genera.

singular and larva-like appearance, and looks as if its metamorphose has
been arrested, or as if it is a remnant of an earlier race. Prochilus and
Phasmodes are widely different from all the other genera, and resemble the
Phasmidae. Hemideina inhabits New Zealand, the species are totally
destitute of wings, and some of them dwell in caves. Tropinotus inhabits
both sides of South America. Hyalopteryx is not an Australian genus;
the species described as H. australis may be considered as forming a
section of Stenobothrus.

Deinacvida ,Ocica Pseudophyllanax

Macropathus Banza Quilta

The few genera here mentioned show that there is a wide field for
discovery in this region. Deinacrida and Macropathus inhabit New
Zealand and are both very remarkable. Deinacrida and Pseudophyllanax
excel almost all the othev Saltatoria in size. Macropathus dwells in caves,
half a mile within, and has excessively long antenna;. Pseudophyllanax
inhabits the Isle of Pines. Oeica inhabits the Fiji Isles. Banza inhabits
the Loochoo Isles. Quilta inhabits Keeling Isle. The species described
as Ceuthophilus lanceolatus probably belongs to another genus.

The locust, Pachytylus cinerascens, occurs in the Sandwich Islands
and is abundant in New Zealand, where it has a darker hue than it wears
in Europe, or in Africa, or in Asia.

The Blaberae are the giants of the cockroach race and have been
observed in all the regions of America, but are limited to the southern
shore of North America. The Proscopida; are a very extraordinary group;
they have the shape of the Phasmidae, with the exception of the head,
which has some resemblance to that of Tryxalis. Hormetica, Gymnocera,
Proscopia and Cephaloccema inhabit the other side of South America.
Gnathoclita and Calacris inhabit the last-mentioned region and Central
America. The other genera are peculiar to the Pacific side.

Chorisoneura, Phoraspis, Ceratinoptera, Paratropes, Scapteriscus,
Rbipipteryx, Orocharis, Moncbeca, Valna, Diplophyllus, Titanacris,
Lophacris, Ommatolampis and Tomonotus inhabit Central America.
Orocharis, Microcentrum, Rhomalea and Chromacris inhabit Central
America and North America. Stenacris inhabits North America. All
the rest of the preceding genera exclusively inhabit the 14th region.
Hypercompa, Hypnorma, Stenoblatta and Phoraspis have more or less the
appearance of beetles. Tabaria and Planoploscelis are allied to the
Rhapidophoridse ; the latter genus has an enormous size. Pterochroza and
Cycloptera excel all other Saltatoria in the beauty of their wings.
Titanacris, Tropidacris and Lophacris exceed all the other species of the
locust-tribe in size and in the vivid colours of the bind wings ; and of these
three genera, Titanacris, by its largest size and by its purple hind wings,
has the pre-eminence. Bufonacris is a strange-looking wingless genus,
found near the Straits of Magellan, and corresponds to the South African
genus Batrachotettix or Trachypetra.

Acridium sellatum, found by Darwin at Monte Video, has perhaps
too much resemblance to A. peregrinum to be separated from it, but can
hardly have been carried by the winds across the Atlantic. A. peregrinum
frequently comes to Teneriffe and to Madeira from the coast of Africa, and
has been taken 500 miles from land.

are well represented in Noiih America.

ON THE ARRANGEMENT OF DERMAPTERA.

The name Dermaptera, given to these insects by De Geer, has the
right of priority; they were afterwards called Orthoptera by Olivier.

Three large groups, represented by Forficula, Mantis and Phasma,
are not included in this Catalogue.

Serville arranges the typical genera in the following order: — Forficula,
Blatta, Mantis, Phasma, Gryllus, Locusta, Acridium.

Burmeister places them in the following series: — Blatta, Mantis,
Phasma, Acridium, Locusta, Gryllus, and excludes Forficula, to which and
to its relations be gives the name Dermaptera. Fischer de Waldheim also
excludes Forficula, and places the others in the following order: — Blatta,
Mantis, Phasma, Gryllus, Locusta, Acridium.

Fischer likewise removes Forficula (for which he adopts the name
Labiduroidas, Dum&ril), and arranges the rest in the following order, which
he terms ascending : — Blatta, Mantis, Phasma, Gryllus, Locusta, Acridium.
Scudder has noticed the various systems of authors who have written on
the Dermaptera, and adds his reasons for arranging the typical genera in
the following descending order, or in a series from the most highly
organized to those which are lowest in the scale: — Gryllus, Locusta,
Acridium, Phasma, Mantis, Blatta, Forficula. I prefer the system of
Fischer, who considers Acridium to represent the highest group.

In this series the proximity of Chrysochraon, Stenobothrus aDd some
other geuera to Tryxalis is an improvement on the arrangement adopted
in this Catalogue.

The Phasma-tribe come between the Mantodea and the Acridids,
and I believe that the Blattaria should be placed next the Gryllidae,
though there is no link between them, and the Forficulaiia are still more
widely separated from the Blattaria, and especially by the peculiar
abdominal appendage which is adapted to manipulate the wings. There
is another missing link between the Forficulaiia and the Thrips-tribe,
and a greater space between the Dermaplera and the Tbysanura, to
which the Ceuthophilidse have an outward resemblance.

The tribes represented by Libellula, Ephemera and Tonnes have been
included in the Dermaptera by some authors, and other authors have
supposed that the Dermaptera are connected with the Neuroptera by the
genera Mantis and Mantispa.
