Descriptions of Indian Acrididee. 487 
It seems probable that this species is identical with 
marmoratus, Thunbg., and musicus, F., but I abstain from 
establishing this synonymy until it is possible to examine 
a large series of specimens.

- I had the opportunity, while working in the Caucasian 
Museum, Tiflis, of studying very extensive series of G¢daleus 
mlokozievetzi, Bol., which was described from Transcaucasia; 
the species is distributed all over Eastern Transcaucasia, 
Persia, and Mesopotamia. The specimens from the latter 
locality, which are identical with those from Transcaucasia, 
are now before me and their comparison with African speci- 
mens of (4. senegalensis, as well as with Indian examples in 
the Pusa collection, enables me to establish the above 
synonymy. ‘The range of distribution of MH. senegalensis 
consequently coincides with the Desert subregion of the 
Palearctic region, and partly extends beyond its limits. 
19. Gdaleus abruptus, Thunbg. 
This is probably one of the commonest grasshoppers in 
India, and is represented in the Pusa collection by a large 
series*of specimens from different localities. Several speci- 
mens are labelled as taken from cultivated plants, so that 
the species may be occasionally injurious to crops.

It is difficult to understand on what grounds Kirby 
included H. partita, Walk., in the Indian fauna (Iauna Br. 
India, p. 142), since there is no specimen of this species 
in British Museum from Ceylon; the type of partita is from 
an unknown locality, and it is conspecific with types of 
Epacromia thoracica, Walk., from Sierra Leone.
