Acheta portentosus Lichtenstein, Cat. Mus. Zool. Hamburg, vol. 3, 1796, p. 85. 



Nine males, eighteen females, and five nymphs, all from Buiten-

 and wing length. 



GYMNOGRYLLUS ELEGANS Guerin 



Gymnogryllus elegans Guerin, Belanger, Vov. Ind. Orient., Zool., 1834, p. 495, 

 pi. 9, fig. 1. 



Twenty-two specimens of this beautiful cricket were in the collec- 

 tion, representing both sexes and various stages of nymphs. Most 

 of the material was taken at Mount Salak but some at Tjibodas, 

 Mount Gede, 



This series is remarkably uniform in size and structure and the 

 only variation in color noticeable is that the pronotal disk is marked 

 with reddish yellow along the posterior margin in a few specimens; 

 this is the case in all the nymphs, indicating it is a nymphal char- 

 acter which sometimes persists in the adult .
