 than second ; toes one-third webbed ; subarticular tubercles 

 moderately large, feebly prominent ; a feebly prominent oval 

 inner metatarsal tubercle, as long as the inner toe without the 

 disk. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the nostril. Upper 

 parts and throat granulate, some of the granules confluent 

 into wavy longitudinal short ridges ; belly and lower surface 

 of limbs smooth. Greyish brown above, marbled with darker ; 

 limbs with rather irregular dark cross-bars ; whitish beneath, 

 throat and lower surface of limbs marbled with brown. 



From snout to vent 30 millim.

Head small, as long as broad ; snout short, prominent, 

 obliquely truncate ; can thus rostralis strong ; loreal region 

 vertical, concave ; interorbital space broader than the upper 

 eyelid ; tympanum moderately distinct, one third the diameter 

 of the eye. Fore limb very slender, nearly as long as the 

 distance between the eye and the vent. Fingers slender, 

 webbed at the base, feebly dilated and truncate at the end, 

 first two thirds the length of second; toes nearly entirely 

 webbed, scarcely dilated at the end ; two very indistinct 

 metatarsal tubercles. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the 

 eye. Upper parts with scattered, small, horny tubercles; lower

LXIV. — On the Internal Appendices of the Genital Apparatus 

 of the Orthoptera. By M. A. FeNARD *. 



There is an entomological question which for some long time 

 has appeared to require to be taken up, and to which it will 

 be useful to call attention, namely the internal appendices of 

 the genital apparatus in male and female insects. I have 

 during the past three years and more studied this matter, and 

 have commenced with the order Orthoptera. I have the 

 honour to communicate to the Academy some of the results 

 obtained, confining myself for the present to the male organs.
