Tylopsis liliifolia, Serv. — Common nearly everywhere ; at Prisdan, 

 Castellastua, Sebenico, Trau, Sutorman, Antivari, and Spuzh ; the 

 variety maryineyuttata occurred at Spizza, 



C'onocephalus nitididiis, Scop. — A few at Danilograd and Prisdan. 



Rhacocleis discrepans, Fieb. — Widely spread, and not rare ; common 

 on the hillsides round Cetinje ; also at Dukle, Prisdan, and Antivari ; 

 also at Trail. 



Pachytrachelus strioJatus, Fieb. — A few on the Sutorman Pass, and 

 some immature specimens at Njegush. 



P. frater, Br. — A pair at Dukle. 



Platycleis yrisea, Fabr. — A female at Njegush. 



P. vittatus, Charp. — A few at Dulde and Prisdan. 



P. sepium, Yers. — At Trail, Castellastua, and Prisdan ; it is very 

 active, and hard to catch ; it seemed to occur most frequently at the 

 foot of stone walls in the blazing sun ; the great power of its long 

 hind legs enables it to make tremendous leaps. 



Olynthoscelis chabrieri, Charp. — This magnificent insect was nume- 

 rous on thick clusters of thorns near Castellastua; it sits on the topmost 

 twigs, and, being as nimble as it is wary, it is very difiicult to capture. 



O. fallax, Fisch. — On the hills above Antivari. 



0. femoratus, Fieb. — A few on the Sutorman Pass, at Prisdan, 

 Castellastua, and Danilograd. 



0. dalmaticus, Krauss. — This species is even finer and more active 

 than 0. chabrieri, though less brightly coloured ; it makes terrific 

 springs, and frequently settles on the bare trunks of trees. I was 

 never able to catch one with my net, but my Montenegrin servant 

 succeeded in taking two with his bare fingers ; they require some care 

 in handling, as they are capable of inflicting a rather severe bite with 

 their powerful mandibles. 



Decticus verrucivorus, Linn. — Fairly numerous at Danilograd, but 

 in these southern countries generally replaced by the following. 



D. albifrons, Fabr. — This is a splendid insect. It is abundant 

 amongst dry grass and shrubs ; its stridulation is loud and prolonged, 

 recalling tbat of Locusta viridissima, but even more strident. It is not 

 difiicult to stalk down, with care and patience.
