Thaipomcna hirlipcs Uv., and a redescription of Thi- 

 soecctrus continuus (Walk.) 



The number of species recorded from Palestine 

 by previous authors and not mentioned in our list is, 

 thus, 23 which raises the total figure of species known 

 from the country to 122 as many as 28 being recorded 

 by us for the first time. This figure cannot yet be 

 regarded as one very near the real number of species 

 inhabiting the country which may be estimated as 

 approaching or exceeding i5o. Further additions to 

 the list may be expected especially in Gryllids ; 

 amongst Acridids some new and additional species 

 may be expected in the genus Sphingonotus and al- 

 lied ones, perhaps also in Staiiroderus , Thalpomena, 

 Sphodromcriis, Thisoecetrus a.o.; amongst Tetiigonii- 

 dae the attention must be paid by future collectors 

 to the wingless Phaneropterinae (Isophya,Poecilimon) , 

 and especially to Decticinae of the, genera Metrioptera, 

 Pholidoptera, Paradrymadusa a.o.; in Mantids, addi- 

 tions to the list and, probably, undescribed species 

 may be expected, in the genus Eremiophila. Parti- 

 cularly interesting discoveries should be expected from 

 a thorough exploration of the stony deserts of 

 Southern Palestine.
