Mr. Wood-Mason was the first to point out (J. A. S. B._187.5, Part II. p. 220) 

 that the last dorsal abdominal sep^ment in the males of this orthoptcrous family 

 (except Fhijllinm) is modified to serve as a more or less etKcient clasping apparatus. 

 Frequently the whole segment is so profoundly modified as to constitute a regular 

 forceps, whereby their brides may be hold fast. These organs in Lonehodes, 

 Phibalosoma, ro'dacnntlim, etc., have been often figured, but their precise function 

 and their relation to the sex of the insect had not before been assigned and 

 interpreted.

 This family embraces the Crickets [Gri/Uun), and that curious insect the Mole 

 Cricket {G)\i/!lv'falp(i), and in both this and the next family the ovipositor is often 

 of great length, to enable the female safely to deposit her eggs in the ground at 

 a safe distance from the surface.
