OF ENGLAND AND BAVARIA. \J 



Of PhryganidcB fragments have only hitherto been found 

 in the English strata : I refer here some of the species placed 

 in the genus Orthophlebia (thus Brodie, PL 2, fig. 7 ; PL 5, 

 fig. 12; PL 8, figs. 7, 8, 9; PL 10, figs. 9—12; PL 9, 

 fig. 16, 17, and Westwood, PL 15, fig. 14* and O). 



All these, excepting the last, belong to the Rhyacopliilidie; 

 the last mentioned is however evidently a Heteropalpiis, and 

 reminds one, by its neuration, of the Sericostomidce. 



The beautiful preservation of one Solenhofen insect admits 

 of a satisfactory explanation of a number of wings found in 

 the English strata which have hitherto been reputed Neurop- 

 terous; I alkide to the delicate little grasshopper Lomista 

 arnanda of Hagen. 



The wing from Durdlestone Bay (Westwood, PL 15, 

 fig. 17) is in form and size so similar to the Solenhofen 

 Locust a.y that a very close investigation will be necessary to 

 prove it distinct. The Solenhofen species is wonderfully 

 preserved, and by the stout jumping feet, the ovipositor of 

 the female and the long and thin antennas, is evidently one of 

 the Lociistina. The tibiae of the hinder legs have externally 

 just before the ends a leaf-like process, to which, as far as I 

 am aware, there is nothing analogous in existing species. 

 And if the wing represented by Westwood (PL 15, fig. 17) 

 is truly a Locusta, then other specimens (PL 15, fig. 16; 

 PL 17, fig. 12; PL 17, fig. 7 (a fragment) ; PL 18, fig. 26, 

 37, 39, and in Brodie, PL 5, figs. 13, 21, PL 8, figs. 6, 14, 

 3, 11 ; PL 10, figs. 5, 14) also belong to similar species of 

 Locustina, 



The Solenhofen strata contain a number of other species of 

 Orthoptera. I was particularly interested in a species of 

 gigantic size, the more especially as the fine neuration 

 throughout reminds me of the fragment figured by West- 

 wood (PL 17, fig. 21).
