ORTHOPTKRA COLLKCTED IN S0UTII-E\8TERN EUROPE. 297 



cleis, sp. n. — A small new species of this genus I took at 

 Bicevica, August 3i'cl, but in small numbers. L'latyckis, sp. n. 

 — Very numerous in a thick bed of nettles in a sheltered spot 

 near the valley of Tisavica, July 27th, at an elevation of about 

 1,900 metres. In appearance it closely resembles P. bicolor, or 

 P. hrachijpterus. Platycleis, sp. n. — In exactly the same spot I took 

 a pair which may be a new species, or perhaps an aberration of the 

 last. P. roeselii, Hagenb. — Very common in meadows at Lukavica, 

 July 26th. /'. modesfa, Fieb. — At Bicevica, August 3rd, and Blagaj, 

 August 4th, but not very numerous. P. sepiiim, Yers. — Common on 

 thick grass, at Blagaj, August 4th. Decticiis verrucivorm, L., was 

 numerous everywhere, at Comana, Bufta, Orsova, Kosija Cuprija, 

 Trebovic, Konjica, Bicevica, Blagaj, etc., but I did not take it in 

 Montenegro. /-'. albifrons, Fabr., was common at Blagaj, August 4th, 

 and Blato, August 5th. It sits on thick shrubs and chirps, but is 

 very hard to capture, the chief difficulty being the thorns, for it seems to 

 choose invariably pomegranates or brambles. SAom^. — Saga, sp. — I 

 took a single nymph of what is almost certainly Sa(ja serrata, Fabr., 

 at Adlerberg, by sweeping, June 28th. 



Gryllodea. — Oecanthidae. — Oecanthus pellucens, Scop. — This 

 slender little cricket was fairly common on the vines at Bucarest, 

 July 13th, and numerous at Blagaj, August 4th. The nymphs and 

 larva) I took nearly everywhere. I also took the imago at Cetinje, 

 August 10th. Gryllid.e. — Nemobius Uncolatus, Brulle. — Common on 

 the mud on the banks of the Save, at Bosna Brod, July 17th. (irylhts 

 canipestris, L. — Numerous on the top of the Igman Planina. GnjUus 

 frontalis, Fieb. — Very numerous round Bucarest, July 10th- 15th. 

 (t. desertus, Pall. — Numerous, with the above. (iryUoinorpkufi 

 dalmatimis, Ocsk. — I saw a single specimen on a ruined stone wall, at 

 Blagaj, August 4th, but was unable to take it. — Tridactylid.t:. — Tri- 

 dactylns varieyatns, Latr. — M. Montandon and myself saw this species 

 on the mud by pools and streams, near Comana, but did not succeed in 

 taking it. GRYLLOTALPm.E. — (jryllotalpa yryllotalpa, L. — I took one 

 immature specimen on the mud, on the banks of the Danube, near 

 Orsova, July 18th. 



Notes on Hybrids (2nd and 3rd Crosses) between Tephrosia 

 bistortata and T. crepuscularia. 



{Cnitrliulcilfiniil p. 219.) 



By A. BACOT. 

 Second Crosses. — Only 12 out of 3.3 pupjE of various broods, referred 

 to in my previous notes, survived the winter, and produced imagines. 

 Of these 12 si)ecimeus, two were of brood Jj (ride p. 217, for ])aren- 

 tage), the remaining 10 l)eing of brood No. 02. Of the spring emer- 

 gences OF HROOD L, both specimens were females, and of fair size. One 

 api)r()aehes the spring form of T. bistmtata, the other tends towards the 

 fine aberrations of this cro.ss [L], referred to in my previous notes, with 

 dark marginal baud and pale central area to fore-wings. The spring 

 EMERGENCES OF HROOD No. 02 cousisted of 10 spccimeus, all J s, four 

 are of fair size, and follow the normal well-banded spring form of T. 

 histintdta ; three are of a sutfu.^ed dark grey, with whitisji marginal 

 band, following the delameiensis strain, two of these being deeidedly 

 smaller than the bistnrtata form. Two others are very simihu-, hut 

 have a tendency to be speckled or blotched with white. The remaining
