LXXXl.—R/ajnchotal Notes.— XIAY. By W. L. Distant. 



II O M C) P T E R A. 



Fam. Jassidas. 

 Subfam. Tettiooniellinje. 

 The following notes and descriptions principally refer to 

 Neotropical genera and species, of which the British 

 Museum possesses a very fine collection. Walker, as is 

 well known, described many species, the types of which it 

 contains ; the very large Godman Collection from Central 

 America, worked oiit by Canon Fowler, is also included in 

 its cabinets, wliile the Museum purchased some years a"-o, 

 through Herr Haensch, what purported to be the cotypcs of 

 Brcddin's species in this subfamily. Unfortunately, li lar^c 

 number of these cotypes have never been described aiid 

 represent MS. names only, and it is believed that even more 

 have been distributed to Continental Museums, for some 

 referred to by Prof. Jacobi* I learn from him are in that 

 category. The British Museum, however, possesses, with few 

 exceptions, cotypes of all the Neotropical Tettigoniellidte of 

 which Breddin has published descriptions, and I append a 

 list of those which we received ascribed to Breddin of which 

 no description can be traced. I forwarded Dr. Breddin a 

 list of these nondescripts, and it is important that attention 

 should be called to them. 



1 have to thank Prof. Jacobi, of the Dresden Museum, for 

 kindly letting me see examples of all his Peruvian and 

 Bolivian specimens which he described in 1903. The 

 incidents of synonymy have thus been avoided, while the 

 British Museum now possesses properly identified repre- 

 sentatives or coloured drawings of all his S2)ecies.
