Page 407. Since the publication of the sheets relative to the Orthoptera, 
two works especially devoted to that order have been pub- 
lished ; namely, the second part of the second volume of Bur- 
meister’s Handbuch der Entomologie, 1838, and Histoire Natu- 
relle des Insectes Orthoptéres, 1839, by M. Serville. In these 
works numerous new genera are proposed, chiefly founded 
upon exotic species, under distinct names. Burmeister has 
subsequently reviewed their synonymy in the third part of 
Germar’s Zeitschrift fur d. Entomologie.

the extremities of these organs to have been cut off.

different kinds of individuals composing the species of Termi- 
tide in his Introduction to the Natural History of Insects.

possessing more than twenty-five joints in the antennz, and 
3-jointed tarsi. 
25. note *, The existence of the anomalous character of an additional pair of 
eyes, placed on pillars, is not confined to the males of a single 
species, or even subgenus of Ephemeride. I have this day 
(May 14. 1840) taken both sexes of the two-winged species, 
figured by Mr. Stephens under the name of Cloeon dipterum, 
and find that the males possess this character, and are, in co- 
lour, quite unlike the females. Neither Leach nor Stephens 
have noticed the sexual characters of Cloeon. The species 
figured by Réaumur, possessing two similar additional pedun- 
culated eyes (tom. iv. pl. 19. fig. 3.), evidently belongs, from 
his accurate description of the very minute hind wings, to my 
subgenus Brachyphlebia. Burmeister ( Handb. vol. ii. p. 798.) 
gives E. bioculata Z., asthe male of E. diptera L.

MacLeayanus Guild. in his volume on the Habits and In- 
stincts of Animals, p.29. It differs from my jig. 63. 20. and 
from Guilding’s description, in having only nine filamentous 
processes on cach side.
