Family LOCUSTARI/E Latreille. 



Like the Acridii, this family of Orthoptera is not well represented in 

 the Tertiary rocks; no specimens of cither have been found in amber, ex- 

 cepting a few larva- of this familv. Yet almost all of the larger subfamilies 

 are present both in Europe and America. The Conocephalida-, however, 

 which are represented in America by two species, have none in Europe, and 

 per contra, the Decticida 1 , which have three species in Europe, do not occur 

 in America. Two of tin- European species can not be placed, Locnstites 

 macnlata I leer from Parschlug and Decticns exstinctns Germ., from the 

 Rhenish coal. Ten species, including two referred to only by generic 

 names, have been found in the European Tertiaries, and live in America, 

 besides indications of others. Unlike the Acridii, the European and Ameri- 

 can species show few points in common, the species which are referred to 

 the same subfamilies being widely separated. (July, 18S4).

The only European species of this group, which is best represented in 

 warm, temperate, and tropical countries, is Phaneroptera vetusta Ileer from 

 Oeningen, and it is widely distinct from the single American species referred 

 here. (July, 1S84.)
