On Orthoptera from the Transvaal ttc. 475 



LXIV. — Notes on a Collection of Gryllidai, Stenopelmatidte, 

 Gryllaciidffi, and ^atxo A\([?& formed by Mr. IV. L. Distant 

 in the Transvaal and other South- and East-African 

 Localities. By W. F. KiRBY, F.L.S., F.E.S., &c. 



The following list is preliminary to Mr. Distant's compre- 

 hensive work on the Insects of the Transvaal, now in course 

 of preparation, and may be followed from time to time by 

 other lists of a similar character. 



Two new species of Stenopelmatid^e are provisionally 

 referred to Carcinopsis ; but they differ somewhat in the 

 structure of the head, and it is probable that many species of 

 the family remain to be discovered, which may necessitate a 

 revision of the o-eneric characters.
