LEPTOPHYES PUXCTATISSIMA. 199 



6. Lirometopum brevirostre Stal. A full-grown specimen was found 

 at Kew Gardens on the underside of the leaf of an unnamed avoid. It 

 is a large brilliant green grasshopper with ovipositor of inordinate 

 length. Though differing slightly from the typical form, it no doubt 

 belongs to the species named. (' Kew Bulletin/ Additional Series, v, 

 1906.) 



7. Agrcecia vittipes Redt. One was taken in niid July 1902 at St. 

 Albans, Hertfordshire. (W. P. Westell, ' Record,' 1902, p. 269.) 



8. Ducetia thymifolia Fabr. (= Phaneroptera privata Walk.). One 

 was recorded in the ; Proceedings of the Entom. Soc. of London,' 1896, 

 p. xvi, as taken at Merton Hall. Xorfolk. It was identified as belonging 

 to this species from the male type in the British Museum. Its origin is 

 not known, but it is scarcely likely to occur again. 



9. Phaneroptera falcata Scop. This is a pale green, slender Locustid 

 of moderate size, with wings about a third as long again as the elytra, 

 these being again a little longer than the body, which may reach a 

 length of 18 mm. One specimen was taken by Dr. Mason in September 

 1881 at Porthgwarra near Land's End. at rest on the grass near a foot- 

 path. In 1907 W. Daws of Mansfield sent me for inspection an insect 

 which he took at Sennen Cove, 11 September 1884. He said that it was 

 delicate-looking when fresh, with long antenna?, and that the wings 

 were much longer than the elytra when closed. It reached me unfor- 

 tunately in a very fragmentary condition, but it seemed without doubt 

 to be P. f alcat<r. There is, therefore, a chance of this insect being 

 given a recognised position in our list, if some enterprising entomologist 

 will search the Land's End district at the end of summer. 



10. Phaneroptera quadripunctata Brunii. This species was met with 

 in some numbers in a vinery near Chester in 1905. and a living example 

 was exhibited at the Entomological Society of London by Dr. Gahan, 

 18 October 1905. 



'Xiphidiitiit f'tscinn Fabr. has found its way into the older lists 

 through a mistake, C. dorsalis having been taken for this species.)
