BURR— ORTHOPTERA, DERMAPTERA 133 



here together with the allied S. brunneri and some other species for which at least one 

 new genus must be formed. 



It is a handsome little species, and I have pleasure in dedicating it to Professor 

 J. Stanley Gardiner, originator of the Seychelles Expeditions of 1905 and 1908. 



It appears to be common in the Seychelles, and it is surprising that it was unknown 

 to de Bormans. Being found only in native mountain forests, it is probably peculiar to 

 the islands. 



There is a certain amount of variation in the curvature and armature of the forceps in 

 both sexes. ♦
