INSECTA. ABT 
black body, without the elongated point at the wings, which in the 
preceding species extends behind the elytra. 
Note.—Eneoptera Burm. (Platydactylus BRULLA and SERVILLE in part). 
The generic name devised by BURMEISTER on account of the elytra similar 
in both sexes of some species, having no musical organ in males ; comp. 
Burmeister, Handb, der Entomol. i. 2, p. 1015, and on the typical species, 
De Haavy, |. 1. p. 231. The name of Platydactylus ought to be rejected, 
since given long previously to a genus of Saurians. In these Achete the body 
is elongate, posterior feet very long ; ovipositor of females long, recurved 
upwards, with valves divergent, clavate at apex. Sp. Acheta brasiliensis

Note.—Bxrvt.é and SERVILLE assign four joints of tarsi in posterior 
feet to these insects, which BURMEISTER has shewn to be an error, Handb.

Gryllotalpa LATR. (species of Acheta Fasr.). Anterior feet 
fossorial, compressed, broad. Antenne setaceous, shorter than 
body. Ocelli two, placed between the compound eyes. Pronotum 
elongate, oval, gibbous; ovipositor of female none.

xIv. xv. ; Dumé&riL, Cons. gén. s. l. Ins. Pl. 25, fig. 7; the mole-cricket, 
13” long, brownish-black, yellow below, with grey-brown, darker-veined 
shield-covers. The fore-feet work like saws, or as spades, with which these 
insects burrow the ground. The female lays her eggs in a hole under 
ground, to which a long curved passage leads, in and out of which she 
often creeps ; at first the young ones live close together, but soon disperse. 
Horse-dung appears to attract these animals, swine-dung to repel them. 
They live especially in garden-mould and turfy bog, On the anatomy see

Europe and of Asia, and other species of this genus are found in all parts 
of the world. 
Cylindrodes Gray, Servitte. Body elongate. Vestiges alone of 
wings and of elytra. Feet short, with tarsi didactylous.
