 Libano e regioni vicini. I. Nuoiva specie di Fanerotte-

Description of /. festae Griffini referred later on 

 by Giglio-Tos (1894) to synonyms of /. savlgnyi Br.W. 



6. Giglio-Tos, E. —Viaggio del Dr. E. Festa in Palestina, 

 nel Libano e regioni vicini. V. Ortotteri. (Boll. Mus. 

 Zool. Torino, Vili, 1893, No. 164). 



This is the only extensive list of Orthoptera of 

 Palestine in existance, and it includes 87 species, but 

 the number of species from the Palestine proper is 

 considerably less, an, good many speoies arc recorded 

 only from the Lebanon, Anti -Lebanon and other loca- 

 liliee outside Palestine. Besides, a certain proportion 

 of records are based on obvious misidentifications or 

 aie. at least, doubtful; thus, the follow^ing species 

 must be excluded from the list : 



Aphlebia carpetana Bol. (see Giglio-Tos, 1894, 

 where a suggestion is made that the species in ques- 

 tion is, probably 1. brevipennis, Fisch.). 



Empusa pennicornis' Pall. — Probably E. heden- 

 hoToii, St. 



Ameles spallanzania Rossi is identified from a 

 single larva which is quite impossible in dealing with 

 S])ecies of this genus. 



Leptophyes piinctatissima Bosc. — This is an essen- 

 tially northern Palaearctic species and its occurence 

 in Palestine is simply impossible.
