DISTRIBUTION OF THE GRASSHOPPER 19 
included. This development is illustrated in Plate IX, 
the development in the male being shown on the right 
side and that of the female on the left. The develop- 
ment corresponds quite closely with that already described 
for the Rice Grasshopper, so there is no occasion to go into 
details here. As indicated (Plate IX, Figs. 1-6), the ovipos- 
itors develop as paired outgrowths on the lower or ventral 
side from the posterior border of the eighth and the ninth 
abdominal segment respectively. These processes gradu- 
ally grow backward and ¢ gain in stoutness until, in the 
adult stage, they form two powerful pairs of diggers, 
Here, as in the case of the Rice Grasshopper, we find 
the separation of two lobes from the inner faces of the 
two upper processes (see Plate IX, Fig. 3) to form a 
forked structure (furcula supravulvalis) which comes to 
lie just above the genital opening. 
In the male, a single process grows back gradually to 
form the scoop- -shaped Se “(subgenital lamina) in 
which the penis comes to lie (see Plate IX, Figs. 7-12). 
DISTRIBUTION OF THE JOLA GRASSHOPPER. 
The Jola Grasshopper has by far its most extensive 
distribution in the Bombay Presidency, where it is to be 
found in almost all the Deccan Districts including a small 
part of Khandesh. It has not yet appeared in Sholapur 
District. In addition, it is to be found in almost all the 
taluks of the Karnatic Districts, Belgaum, Bijapur and 
Dharwar. In Madras Presidency, it has appeared only 
in Bellary District, in Adoni, Alur, Kudligi, Hadagalli and 
Harpanhalli Taluks.* In Mysore it is, at present, restricted 
to the northern parts of Chitaldrug and Shimoga Districts 
near the point where Mysore State and Bombay and Madras 
Presidencies meet. The taluks affected are :—Honnali 
and Channagiri in Shimoga District ; Davangere, Jagalur 
and Chitaldrug in Chitaldr ug District. In all probability 
it extends, at least to some “extent, into Hyderabad as it 
has been found in districts bordering on that State. 
Enquiries made by me have, however, elicited the fact that 

1The information with regard to the distribution of the grasshopper in Bombay 
Presidency was kindly furnished by) Miry Ga Et. eae, Director of Agriculture, 
Mr. T. F. Main, Deputy Director of Agriculture, and Mr. M. L. Kulkarni, Divisional 
Inspector of Agriculture. The information for Madras Piesldntiog was furnished by 
Mr. Y. Ramachandra Rao, Assistant Entomologist, through Dr. Barber.
