  Progress 
  in 
  

   Dermaptera

  In 
  response 
  to 
  the 
  suo-gestion 
  of 
  several 
  friends 
  I 
  offer 
  the 
  

   follovviiio- 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  progess 
  in 
  our 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  taxonomy 
  

   of 
  the 
  Dermaptera 
  since 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  my 
  Fascicule 
  in 
  

   Wytsmai/s 
  ' 
  Genera 
  Iiisectoruin 
  ' 
  in 
  1911. 
  

  

  It 
  will 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  several 
  new 
  genera 
  and 
  a 
  lar^e 
  

   number 
  of 
  new 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  characterized, 
  and 
  several 
  

   important 
  alterations 
  of 
  generic 
  position 
  and 
  of 
  synonymy 
  

   effected. 
  

  

  I 
  hope 
  at 
  an 
  early 
  date 
  to 
  publish 
  a 
  paper 
  which 
  will 
  very 
  

   considerably 
  modify 
  the 
  existing 
  system 
  in 
  detail, 
  though 
  not 
  

   much 
  in 
  general, 
  embodying 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  the 
  comparative 
  

   study 
  of 
  the 
  opisthomeres, 
  the 
  wing-venation, 
  the 
  manubrium 
  

   of 
  the 
  ninth 
  stendte 
  of 
  the 
  male, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  genital 
  armature 
  

   of 
  the 
  male, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  gonapophyses 
  of 
  the 
  female, 
  in 
  a 
  con- 
  

   siderable 
  amount 
  of 
  material, 
  amplifying 
  and 
  enlarging 
  the 
  

   very 
  valuable 
  work 
  of 
  Zacher 
  on 
  these 
  lines. 
  The 
  results 
  

   will 
  profoundly 
  modify 
  the 
  generic 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  Psalidai, 
  

   but 
  will 
  not 
  have 
  any 
  very 
  far-reaching 
  effect 
  upon 
  the 
  other 
  

   groups. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  is 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  works 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  this 
  paper 
  

   which 
  have 
  appeared 
  since 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  Fascicule
