46 THE entomologist's record. 



Salonika, on tbe shores of a richly wooded and well sheltered bay ; this 

 spot must have been a grand collecting ground during the season ; 

 although it was so late, a few Orthoptera were lingering out. On 

 November 6th, when going to the beach for a swim, I picked up 

 Acrotijlus lowilpea, Charp., an addition to our list, and found Caloptenus 

 italicus, Oedipoda caernLescens, Platyphyma (liornae, Acrotijlus patrtielis, 

 extremely numerous, a few Acridiiiui aegyptiatit, a single female Platy- 

 cleis {? vittata), Om.ocestus rufipes, Stauroderiis bicolor, and a red-winged 

 Oedipoda that seems rather too pale for 0. niiniata. On November 

 10th, I found a Mogojilistus brunnens strolling up the walls of my 

 tent, and a few chilled Mantis religiom were found clinging, half-dazed 

 to twigs, as late as December 3rd. 



Probably all the later species occur throughout the winter. 

 Acridiiim aegyptium appears adult in the early spring, but in the 

 summer only immature specimens are to be found ; Epaoumiia 

 thalassina, and especially E. strepens, seem to occur all the year round, 

 but adults are commonest in the autumn and at the beginning of 

 spring, while stragglers are tempted out by the sun sometimes in 

 January. The three European species of Acrotylus, at all events the 

 two red-winged ones, A. patriielis, Sturm., and A. insuhricus, Scop., 

 certainly hibernate along the shores of the Mediterranean.

 Polyphatia aegyptiaca, L. 1 picked up one male in the gardens of 



the White Tower in Salonika. 



Mantodea 



Pamineles, sp. A small Mantid with pointed eyes is fairly common 

 in suitable localities ; I took larvae and nymphs near Lembet 

 on August 1st, and on the 10th, and early in September 

 near Ambarkeui, adult.
