OrvDER XI. Orthoptera. 
Hexapod insects, with four wings, the upper coriaceous elytra, 
the lower membranous and folded in their length radiately like a 
fan. Mouth constructed for manducation, with strong mandibles ; 
maxille furnished with galea cylindrical, vesicular (internal palp). 
Metamorphosis incomplete.

name of Orthoptera from the order of the Hemiptera of Linnaus', 
and characterised this new order by the mode in which the under- 
wings are folded and by the presence of a galea on the lower jaws. 
In the oral parts they differ altogether from the hemiptera. But if 
we stand, not upon the name of the order, but upon the distinction
