(1817).

xxxiii (3), p. 37 (1876); Saussure, Spic. Ent., ii, 



pp. 19, 27, 30, 3.5 (1887). 

 So much confusion exists in the use of the names 

 Xiphicera and Xijyhocerei that I think it well to discuss 

 the whole subject in detail, especially as the particulars 

 given in my paper on "The Genera of Orthoptera," pubUshed 

 in the Journal of the Royal Dublin Society for 1890, are 

 incomplete, 



1815, Pa7np)hagus, Thunberg, Mem. Pctersb., v, p. 260. 



Several species are included under this name, including 

 Gryllus clcphas and serripes, Fabr., and virens, Thunb. 



1839. Burm., Handb. Ent., ii, p. 615, includes m^cr alia, G. 

 serripes, F., virens, T., and eleplias, Linn. 



1873. Stai, Rec. Orth., i, pp. 21, 25. 



Stal designates G. elej^has, Linn, (nee Fabr.), as the type, 

 wliich may be accepted; as G. virc)i>;, Thunb. (accidentally 

 omitted from the list in my DubHn paper, of which I did 

 not see a revise), is considered to be the same species. 



1817. Xiiihicera, Lamarck, Anim. sans Vert., iv, p. 243. 



Types, Gryllus gallinacens and serrijyes, Fabr. (the latter 

 = carinatus, Linn.).
