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, 6, 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 wliich are desiderata, and there-
fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

PART IV.

Fam. 6. ACR1DID.E. (Continued).

THE continuation of the Catalogue of this family is preceded by a
few remarks on some of its characters and by a synopsis of the genera.
Most of the species may be arranged in three groups, which are repre-
sented by Acridium Tataricum, Heteracris plorans and Caloptenus Italicus.
Acridium and Heteracris are distinguished from Caloptenus by the longer
hind legs and narrower hind femora. The fastigium or tip of the
vertex is generally hexagonal in Acridium and in the neighbouring
genera, but this character appears also in some of the Caloptenus
group. The Acridium group, with some exceptions, is also dis-
tinguished by the greater distinctness of the dorsal keel and by the
slope of the prothorax on each side, and by the absence of lateral
keels. The prosternal spine has very generally greater length in the
Acridium group than in the Caloptenus type, where in a few species
it is reduced to a slight transverse ridge ; in Cyrtacanthacris it attains
its full development and is curved and oblique, but this character
appears also in Heteracris. The Heteracris group (which in some of
its forms has an affinity to the Tryxalidae) and the Caloptenus group
differ generally from the Acridium group in the conical tip of the
vertex, in the flat disk of the prothorax, and in the shorter wings.
The migratory and especially destructive locusts belong to Acridium

* The' affinities 6f'lrue' generk cannot be expressed by a linear arrange-
ment, but may be better represented by placing the groups in parallel
series as suggested by Brisout de Barneville. In like manner the
CEdipodidae and the Acrididae may be arranged in parallel series, and
this plan may be applied to the larger divisions of Dermaptera.
Brunner von Waltenwyl has observed the like analogies in the Blattidae,
and has given to some genera the names of Parahormelica, Para-
naupbceta and Parapboraspis, to indicate the resemblance between
them and the genera Hormetica, Nauphceta and Phoraspis.

C. prasina and C. auricornis are probably one species, which may be

the elongation of the head, the hind legs and the shorter wings it resembles
Heteracris, but it has the hexagonal tip of the vertex and the prothorax of
Cyrtacanthacris and of Acridium. According to Brisout de Barneville's
arrangement in parallel series it is the form in the Aciidium group that
represents Heteracris in the Caloptenus group.

a. Fore wings much longer than the body. - - elongatum.

b. Fore wings as long as the body, or nearly so.

* Eyes remote on the vertex. - - consobrinum.

** Eyes approximate. ----- obliquum.

A. elongatum and A. consobrinum represent the typical form of the
genus; the elevated head of A. obliquum will establish it as a distinct
section.

ACRIDIUM ELONGATUM.

Foem. Testaceum, sat gracile; vertex antice planus, hexagonalis ; pro-
thorax vix carinatus ; prosterni spina pallide jftava, gracilis ; alee
anticce pallide cinerea, corpore mullo longiores, villa discoidali e

Female. Testaceous, rather slender; fore part of the vertex flat,
hexagonal; front with four well-defined keels, the outer pair more
diverging towards the face than the inner pair. Eyes elongate-elliptical.
Prothorax scabrous, with a very slight dorsal keel and with transverse
impressed lines ; fore border and sides slightly rounded ; hind border
slightly elongated, much rounded. Prosternal spine slender, pale testa-
ceous. Fore wings pale cinereous, much longer than the body, with a
discoidal stripe composed of oblique brown streaks; veins pale. Hind
wings pellucid ; veins black, pale towards the base. Length of the body
22 lines ; expansion of the fore wings 63 lines.

The description is taken from an injured specimen. It is nearly allied
to A. fusilinea.

ACRIDIUM CONSOBBINUM.

This species varies much in size and in colour, and in New Zealand
it frequently has a very dark hue. The specimen from the Sandwich Isles
is of small size and rather slender, and the prothorax is slightly more
elongated and angular than that of the typical form, but this difference is
hardly sufficient to consider it as another species.

This species varies much in size, in the length and acuteness of the
hind part of the prothorax, in the markings of the fore wings, and in the
band of the hind wings. The hind border of the prothorax is much more
elongated and more acutely angular in some individuals than in others,
but there are intermediate gradations in its structure. The band of the
hind wings is in some cases connected with the hind border, in other cases
there is a space between them, but here also there are connecting links
between the extreme variations.

In this species there are several variations in the convergence of the
inner keels of the front, in the angle of the hind border of the prothorax, in
the form of the hand of the hind wings, and in their breadth. The speci-
mens from the Rocky Mountains are distinguished by their small size, by
their whitish hind tibiae, by their paler fore wings, and by the narrower band
of the hind wings.

brown-bordered line which extends from the eye to the base of the fore
wing. Head elongate; tip of the vertex concave, nearly triangular, the
furrow on each side linear; front oblique, with four distinct keels
which diverge towards the face, the inner pair connected at their
junction with the tip of the vertex. Prothorax with three very slight
keels ; lateral keels occupied by the two lines, parallel from the fore border
to the first transverse furrow, very slightly diverging from thence to the
hind border, which is rounded. Abdomen testaceous, a little shorter than
the hind femora. Hind femora with a brown stripe beneath. Hind tibiae
with a paler band near the base. Fore wings nearly pellucid, with a grass-
green lanceolate stripe on the costa and another on the hind border; a row
of pale brown dots between the stripes and three very irregular rows of very
pale brown dots in the exterior part. Hind wings slightly cinereous,
brownish about the apical part of the exterior border; a brown streak along
the exterior part of the costa ; veins black, testaceous at the base and along
the interior border. Length of the body 9£ lines; expansion of the fore
wings 16 lines.

The structure of the tip of the vertex will distinguish it from S. via-
torius, and the slight transverse furrows of the prothorax will distinguish it
from S. tepanecus. The lateral keels 011 the prothorax of S. mystecus are
parallel.
