AN INDEX TO STAL'S GENERA OF ORTIIOPTERA. 



BY SAMUEL H. SCUDDER, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



Between iS6o and 1S7S, and especi- 

 ally during the eight years subsequent 

 to 1S70, years which witnessed his 

 greatest activity in the study of Orthop- 

 tera, Stal proposed more than four hun- 

 dred generic names for Orthoptera, 

 many of them in minor papers now- 

 difficult to procure. The ciiaracters of 

 these genera were largely elucidated by 

 means of analytical tables, which were 

 sometimes repeated in a fuller and more 

 definite manner in some subsequent 

 publication. To obtain a full knowl- 

 edge of his limitations of these genera 

 it is often necessary to refer to several 

 places, and I therefore prepared for my 

 own use and now publish as a conven- 

 ience to others the following aljDha- 

 betical index to these genera. No 

 distinction is made between genera and 

 subgenera, and the family to which 

 each belongs is indicated. 



Not to repeat titles too frequently in 

 the index I give first a list of the papers 

 in which the genera occur and prefix to 

 each a Roman numeral which is used 

 to indicate it in the index. These titles 

 are arranged chronologically, though it 

 should be noted that the last, which 

 appeared after Stal's death, was actually 

 presented to the Swedish Academy 



more than three months before the one 

 which precedes it, which was sooner 

 published and to which the posthumous 

 paper was in a sense introductory. 

 The list contains two papers not quoted 

 by Brunner in his Revision du syst^me 

 des Orthoptfires, and omits one (Re- 

 cherches sur la syst^me des Mantides — 

 1S73) given by him, as it proposes no 

 new genera. All tlie papers were pub- 

 lished in Stocidiolm, and all but the 

 first in octavo.
