182 THE entomologist's recokd. 



new variety of Aphlehia mrdca, Serv., called adpsersa, is described. 

 Mantodea. — It is this group which particularly indicates the pecu- 

 liarity of the Spanish fauna. DixcotJtera tiinctana, Fin. and Bon., 

 originally discovered in Tunis, has occurred in two localities in Spain, 

 and the strange Geowantin larmides, Pantel, is peculiar. Avieles is 

 divided into three subgenera, Aiueles, I'aramelei^, Sauss., and Yersinia, 

 Sauss. ; Awdcs abjecta, Cyr., is restored against A. spallanzania of 

 authors and A. assni is restored to specific rank. Phasmatodea. — 

 Leptijnia Iiisiianica, Bol. and /.. attniuata, Pantel, are peculiar. 

 AcRiDioDEA. — No less than 103 species are included. Arrida (Tnu-alu, 

 auctt.) is divided into Acn'da properly so called, and Acridella, for 

 uiKjuiculata, Ramb. The large genus Steiiobothnis, with its thirty 

 Spanish species, is subdivided into Stoiobothrus, sen.sti strictu {lineatus, 

 Panz. H ajjinia), (hnocestits, Bol. [petracus, Bris, and i-h-iditlus, L. et 

 rt/^»/rt,and (Ditii/ai, sp. n.), StaHmdcnis, Bol. {morio, Fabr., and bicolor, 

 Charp. ct ajfinid, and ca^turnii, sp. n.), and ( '/lorthippiis, Fieb. 

 {jiaralh'It(K, Zett. ct affinia). Instend oi St('tJi(ipJn/i)ia, wehuxe Aniiptcra 

 Serv. restored {fm^ca, Pall., torno.si, BoL, and jiavicosta, Fisch.), and 

 liawbiiria, Bol. {hisj)a)iica, Ramb.). Gryllodea. — A new subgenus 

 Proneitwbiu^, for .V. si/ln'stris is erected. Surely, however, N. nylvestrh, 

 should be the type of the subgenus Xemobitts, sennit strirto, and 

 heydoii, Fiscb., and lineolatiis, Brulle, be placed in the new subgenus. 

 LuKjri/llus, Sauss., is restored for cajiijiestris, L. and bimaculatua, de 

 Geer. Of the difficult genus Grylludes, Sauss., there are seven 

 species, including G. boscai nov. Gri/llomorpha, Fieb., is divided into 

 Pantel's three subgenera, Petalnptila, Discoptila and Gryllomorpha, 

 sensii stricto. Locustodea. — We are surprised to see the Stennpelma- 

 tidae and Saijidae represented by one species each only, namely 

 Dolicliopada palpata, Duf., and Saya serrata, Fabr. Tbe large and 

 difficult genus Kphippujera is subdivided into four subgenera ; these 

 are Kphippvjera, Latr. [vitunii, Serv. et affinia, 11 sp.), Uromenus, 

 Bob, for durieid, Bob, Strropleiinix, Bol. (14 sp.), for stall, Bob, 

 aiidahtsia, Ramb., with their allies, including eatalauniea, astiniensis, 

 nobrei, spp. n.,and finally Callicmtiia, subg. nov., for raiiibiiri, Bol. -und 

 allies (4 sp.). In the Phaneropteridae, we have Odontiira divided into 

 Odontura, Ramb., and Odontarella, Bol. In the Decticidae, Pterolepis 

 cordubensis, sp. n., Scirtobaenus liisitanrciis, sp. n., and Antaxias 

 tiorezi, sp. n., are described ; Olynthosdu, Fisch. -W., is restored for the 

 familiar Thawnotrizon, Fisch., and finally, there are fourteen species 

 of Platyeleis. This closes a most useful and important synoptical 

 catalogue of that subregion which, of all Europe, is the wealthiest in 

 Orthoptera. Two hundred and eighty three species are included, 

 with several varieties, and are distributed as follows : Dertnaptera 17, 

 Blattodea 15, Mantodea 12, I'/iasuiatadea 4, Aeridiodea 103, Lucustodea 

 99 and Gryllodea 33. 



<irOLEOPTERA. 



Trimium brevicorne, Reich., from C'hiddingfold. — On March 15th 

 last I captured a specimen of this very local little beetle in moss from 

 Chiddingfold. The only other British locality where it has been taken 

 since the time of Stephens is Scarborough. It was taken in some 

 numbers there some years ago by Messrs. Lawson and Wilkinson, and 

 all the specimens in collections come from that source. — Horace 



DONISTHORPE.
