SURREY ORTHOPTERA. 53 



Ectobius lappojiicus, Linn.— Haslemere, June 22nd (Eland 

 Shaw) ; near Boldermere, Wisley, July 5th, 1902 (W. J. L.) ; 

 Devil's Punch Bowl, Hindhead, July 15th, 1909 (W. J. L.) ; 

 Dorking (A. J. Chitty). 



Ectobius perspicillaris ( = lividus), Herbst. — Boxhill (0. A. 

 Briggs) ; Mickleham (W. J. Ashdown). 



Blattella germanica, Linn. — Aldershot (M. Burr), and no 

 doubt in many London hotels and restaurants. This and the 

 next four are seldom found out of doors. 



Blatta orientalis, Linn., is universally distributed over the 

 county. 



Periplaneta americana, Linn. — Kew Gardens (W. J. L.). 



Penplaneta aiistralasice, Fabr. — Kew Gardens (W. J. L.). 



Pycnosceliis surinameusis, Linn. — Kew Gardens (W. J. L.) ; 

 the latest cockroach to establish itself in this county. 



Of the Gryllodea there are but four British species, of 

 which three have been found in Surrey. The fourth, Nemobius 

 sylvestris, Fabr., occurs freely in the New Forest, and there 

 seems to be no reason why it should not be found in Surrey, 

 amongst dead leaves in old, dry, mixed woods. 



Grylliis campestris, Linn. — I have but one record, Eother- 

 hithe, 1904 (H. Moore). 



Gryllus domesticus, Linn. — This is no doubt distributed 

 throughout the county, though not out of doors, except some- 

 times in the summer ; but I have records only for : Kingston- 

 on-Thames (W. J. L.) ; Bisley (A. Ficklin, Junr.) ; Bayswater 

 (F. P. Pascoe). 



Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa, Linn. — Churt, 1901, and Milford, 

 June 3rd, 1902 (G. Dalgliesh). The latter example was met with 

 on the wing. 



Nine insects belonging to the Locustodea are British. Out 

 of these Conocephalus dorsalis, Latr., Metrioptera albopunctata 

 ( =z grisea), M. roeselii, Hagen., and Tettigonia verrucivora, 

 Linn., have not, I believe, been recorded for Surrey. C. dorsalis 

 may be looked for on boggy ground, but M. albopunctata is a 

 coast species, and the other two are very rare. 



Leptophyes punctatissima, Bosc (July to September). — 

 Merrow Downs (W. J. L.) ; Boxhill (C. A. Briggs) ; Bisley 

 (A, Ficklin, Junr.) ; near Guildford (B. G. Cooper) ; Dorking 

 (H. Guermonprez) ; Farnham (E. J. B. Sopp) ; Send (L. Eawes) ; 

 near Ashtead (W. J. L.) ; Walton-on-Thames (H. E. Annett) ; 

 Oxshott (K. South) ; Surbiton (H. Goss) ; Wimbledon and 

 Dormans (M. Burr). 



Meconema thalassina De Geer (= varium) (July to October). — 

 Leatherhead and Horsley (C. A. Briggs) ; near Ashtead 

 (W. J. L.); Kingston-on-Thames (W. J. L.) ; Surbiton (H. Goss) ; 

 Pichmond Park (W. J. L.) ; Coombe Wood and Ripley (Stephens);
