S. cappadocica Wem. from Eregli in Cappadocia 

 may be separated from ^S. gracilipes by *he recurved 

 ovipositor, larger number of femoral spines (ii - la • 

 i4) and longer male elytra (8mm.). From the recently 

 described Macedonian species, S. camphelli IJv. (The 

 Entom. Ree, XWllI, 1921, p. i58), S. gracilipes 

 differs in larger size, shorter ovipositor and shorter 

 male elytra Avith undeveloped marginal expansion. 



GRYLLIDAE 



36. Oecanthus pellucens (Scop.). 



Wadi Kelt, 16 May; Akka, 10 June. 



Mr. Theodor informs us that this species was 

 common in his garden at Artuf, and that it was quite 

 a serious pest of tobacco. 



The two specimens in the collection (male and 

 female) are very small, but otherwise quite typical. 

 Another species 0. furanicus Uv. may be also expect- 

 ed in Palestine, as it is known from Transcaspia and 

 Transcaucasia on one hand, and from Egypt, on an- 

 other (see Uvarov, Bull. Min. Agric. Egypt, No. 4i, 

 1924). 



37.* Pteronemobius gracilis (B. Jak.). 



Beisan, 27 July, 



The specimen flew to light and was caught on 

 the dinner table. 



This minute cricket is distributed from Turke- 

 stan and Transcaucasia to Egypt and Algeria, but not 

 yet recorded from Palestine (for bibliography see 

 Uvarov, Bull. Min. Agric. Egypt, No. 4i, 1924).
