INSECTA. 455 
Sabre-grasshoppers, with Linnzus Grylli Tettigonie, Syst. Nat. ed. 
xu. 1, p. 695; the name of Zettigonie, however, is rightly given 
by later writers to the Cicade. 
In many species the tibie of the fore-feet have two oval apertures 
covered by a tense membrane (see above, p. 283); comp. also 
Lanspown Gumpine, Transact. of the Linnean Society, xv. 1827, 
pp. 153—155. ; 
The wings are in some very short or entirely wanting (/etrodes, 
some species of Lradyporus, Saga, &c.)

s. l. Ins. Pl. 24, fig. 1; green, without spots, with green shield-covers, and 
very long antennz. This species is not rare with us on pastures, in gardens, 
&e. The eggs laid in autumn, pass the winter, and the grasshoppers come 
forth from them in May or later. After the third moult they shew rudiments 
of wings and shield-covers (in July) ; towards the end of August they moult 
for the last time, and become perfect insects. The copulation is repeated a few 
times, and the eggs are placed in the earth by the female by means of her 
sabre-shaped ovipositor, not all at once, but at intervals in different places. 
These grasshoppers die towards the end of autumn.—Locusta verrucivora
