spring evenings. The rare variety cophta, Haan, with abbreviated 

 wings, has been recorded from Brindisi in Italy. 



One or two casuals may be mentioned : — 



Myrmecophila acerYorum, Panz. Burr gives a doubtful record 

 for Salop. If correct, the species apparently is indigenous. 



Homoegryllas reticulatus, Fabr. A female was found on 18th 

 October, 1898, at Kew Gardens, in a case from the Belgian Congo 

 State. 



Gryllodes (prob. hebraeus, Saussure). Several were taken by 

 Mr. (j. Massee, in the Jodrell Laboratory at Kew Gardens. Ap- 

 parently they were breeding there. 



Gryllodes sp. One found at Kew Gardens in a wardian case 

 from Calcutta, 1899. 



Gryllacris sp. A specimen found on Nepenthes in propagating 

 pits at Kew Gardens, 6th October, 1897. 



[(Ecanthus pellucens, Scop. One was supposed to have been 

 taken by Mr. Haworth, near Halvergate, in ISorfolk. Westwood, 

 however, after purchasing his cabinet, said that the insect had been 

 misnamed. It appears now to be lost.]
