south coast. In France, it is common along the south coast, as at 

 Marseilles, Nice, Hyeres, Cannes, Amelie-les-Bains, Toulon, Drome, 

 Porto Vecchio, Bagnols, Montauroux, Nimes, Orange, Valence, &c. In 

 Italy, it is common in the north, as at Genoa, Vintimiglia, Pegli, 

 Spezzia, Savona, and probably also in the south and centre. In lower 

 Austria it occurs at Konigsberge, near Enzersdorf and in the Prater, 

 and in Hungary it occurs as far as Pest. 



2, AcRIDA UNGUICULATA, RaUlb.

 in the reddish-violet wings of the female. Length of body, 44mm.- 

 47mm. $ , 65mm. -74mm. J ; of elytra, 38mm. -42mm. 3 , 55mm.-

This is less common than the preceding species. In France it is 

 recorded from Nimes (Finot suggests in error). In Spain it extends 

 further towards the centre, and is found also in the east and south ; 

 Beja, Algarve, Alfeite, as far as Madrid ; Brunner notes it from 

 Malaga and Granada. It is found also in Italy and Sicily. 



It occurs also in Crete, Algeria, Egypt, Syria and Senegal, Asia 

 Minor, Persia. 



Genus II : Ochrilidia, Stal. 



This genus is but little known, as several of its species are very 

 rare ; it is characterised by the pointed vertex, ensiform antennae, 

 narrow oblong foveolae of vertex, by the metasternal lobes being closed 

 behind, and by the dilated, regularly reticulated scapular area of the 

 elytra of the g . The hind femora are very short.
