Il. A List of Rumanian Orthoptera, with Descriptions of 
Tiree New Species. By Matcotm Burr, F.ZS8. 
[Read November 17th, 1897.] 
I Am indebted to the kindness of Prof. A. L. Montandon, of 
Bukharest, for an interesting collection of Orthoptera, 
taken this year in that sadly neglected hunting ground, 
Rumania. From this material I have been able to draw up 
a list of the Orthoptera at present known to occur in that 
country, including the species recorded from Dobrudsha 
by Brunner in his ‘Prodromus der europaischen Orthop- 
teren, and others, collected some years ago by Prof. 
Montandon, in the rich collection of European Orthoptera 
formed by M. de Bormans, which I have recently had the 
good fortune to acquire. Prof. Montandon has also pro- 
vided me with notes explaining some of the localities, 
which are probably more or less unknown to British 
entomologists, thus enabling me to add a little local 
colour. 
In Moldavia, Cruce is situated in the Carpathians, on 
the upper courses of the River Bistritza, in the north-west 
of the country. In Wallachia, Gurguiata and Plainesti 
are two small places in the district of Rimnik Sarat 
(Romnikui), a town and district to the north-east of 
Bukharest, on the confines of the plain on the last spurs 
of the Carpathians, near the frontier of Moldavia. Buzeo 
is a town and district to the west of Rimnik Sarat. 
Meledik is a locality in the Carpathians, on the River 
Slaniku, in the district of, and to the north of, Buzeo. 
Komana and Gradishtea are two localities to the south of 
Bukharest,on the road between Bukharest and the Danube. 
by the railway station Bukharest-Giurgevo. Komana is 
thickly wooded, apparently chiefly with pines, as the col- 
lection included two specimens of Raphidia flavipes, Stein, 
kindly identified by Mr. McLachlan. 
In Dobrudsha, Tultcha (German, Tuldscha) is at the 
mouth of the Danube.
