XXX. — Notes on the Forficularia. — XVI. On Dermapterain 

 the Greifswald Museum, with Synonymio Notes on some of 

 Gerstcecker's Species. By MALCOLM BuRR, B.A., F.E.S., 

 F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



As the identity of four species of Dermaptera described by 

 Gersta^cker from West Africa has long been a puzzle, I am 

 very glad to have the opportunity of putting all doubts 

 at rest. Dr. MuUer, Director of the Greifswald Museum, 

 has very kindly communicated me the types of Gerstsecker, 

 together with some material from various sources; this is 

 worked out in the following short paper, in which the 

 synonymy of the four doubtful species is established, as also 

 of a species of Proreus. 



I avail myself of the opportunity of once more expressing 

 my gratitude to Dr. Muller.
