Il. Notes on the Orthoptera in the British Museum. 1. The 
group of Kuprepocnemini. By B, P. Uvaroy, F.E.S. 
[Read February 2nd, 1921.] 
In the course of rearranging the collection of Orthoptera 
in the British Museum, I have had the opportunity of 
making some hitherto unrecorded observations on pre- 
viously known forms, as well as of finding some undescribed 
genera and species. Since the collection contains the types 
of numerous species described by Walker, I am also in a 
position to establish the synonymy of these. ‘This is quite 
impossible for those who have not examined the types 
owing to the unsatisfactory nature of Walker's descrip- 
tions. Notes on the geographical distribution of species 
may also be of interest, the distribution of the Orthoptera 
being little known, and for this purpose I have included 
in this paper (which is the first of a proposed series based 
on the same collection) the data of all Museum specimens. 
I am sincerely grateful to the authorities of the British 
Museum for permission to work on the rich and extremely 
interesting collection it contains. 
The revision of the group Euprepocnemini recently pub- 
lished by Dr. I. Bolivar * saves me the trouble of giving 
a synopsis of the genera, since all new genera described 
below may be placed in Bolivar’s synopsis without difficulty. 
Genus Cuororepocus I. Bol. 
1878. ||Demodocus Stil, Bih. Sven. Akad., v (4), p. 75. 
1893. ||Demodocus Brunner v. Wattenwyl, Ann. Mus. 
Genova, xxxil, p. 150. 
1914. Choroedocus 1. Bolivar, Trab. Mus. Madrid, ser. 
Zool., N 20, pp. 5, 8. 
As, thanks to the amiability of Prof. Y. Sjostedt, I 
have been able to study Stil’s type of Demodocus capensis 
Thunb., which is at the same time the type of the genus 
Demodocus, | think it useful to give a new description of
