50 Mr. Malcolm Burr’s 
GRYLLOTALPIDA. 
51. Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa (L.). 
Moldavia, Cruce (coll. mea). I have ventured to restore 
the specific name given by Linnzus, which has a prior 
right over Latreille’s vulgaris. The repetition is awkward, 
but cannot be helped (vide Entom. 1897, xxx, p. 189 ; 
also Brit. Orth., p. 67 in Nat. Journ., 1897). 
TRIDACTYLID. 
52. Tridactylus variegatus, Laty. 
Wallachia, Gradishtea. Three specimens. This curious 
little cricket occurs throughout Southern Europe from 
Spain to Sarepta on the Volga, except apparently in 
Dalmatia and Greece; it also is found in Turkestan, Asia 
Minor, Algeria and Egypt. I possess an extremely rare 
variety, alis caudatis, from Turin.
