140 DE. J. E. T. AITCHISON ON THE ZOOLOGY OF 



13. Etjprepocnehis mttoralis. 



Gryllus litturalis, Rami). Faune Ent. de FAndalusie, ii. p. 78, pi. vii. figs. 1, 2 (1839 ?). 



Three specimens, apparently belonging to this species. It has previously been recorded 

 from South Spain, Egypt, Kordofan, Rhodes, and Beyrout. 

 Sab. Between Quetta and Khusan. 



14. ACRIDA GRANDIS (?). 



Tryxalis grandis, Klug, Symb. Phys. ii. pi. xv. fig. 1 (1830). 



A bleached specimen, agreeing fairly with Klug's figure, but exhibiting no trace of 

 blue or red colour at the base of the hind wings. It is very doubtful how far the 

 numerous named species of this genus are really distinct. Klug described the species 

 from Egypt. 



Sab. Between Quetta and Khusan. 



15. Statjronotus maroccantts. 



Gryllus maroccanus, Thunb. Mem. Acad. Petersb. v. p. 244 (1815). 



A common species round the Mediterranean, and one of the most abundant and 

 destructive locusts in Cyprus. 

 Sab. Badgbis. 



LOCUSTIN.E. 



16. LOCUSTA DANICA. 



Gryllus (Locusta) danicus, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. (2) p. 702. n. 77 (1767). 



Three specimens of another widely-ranging locust, which is met with in most parts 

 of the Old World. 



Sab. Between Quetta and Khusan. 



17. Sphingonotus kittaryi (?). 



Sphingonotns kittaryi, Sauss. Mem. Soc. Phys. Geneve, xxviii. (2) no. 9, p. 207 (1884). 



A single discoloured specimen, probably belonging to this species. Saussure's types 

 were received from Turkestan and the shores of the Caspian. 

 Sab. Hari-rud valley and Khorasan. 



18. Thrinchtts campanulatus (?). 



Thrinchus campanulatus, Fisch. Bull. Mosc. vi. p. 378 (1833) j Orth. Ross. p. 257, pi. xi. fig. 1 (1846). 



Two specimens, differing from the figure chiefly in the narrower band on the hind 

 wings. Described by Fischer de Waldheim from Georgia. 

 Sab. Hari-rud valley and Khorasan, Persia. 



In addition to the previously-mentioned Orthoptera, there is a species of Caloptenns (?) 

 new to the British Museum (one mature and two immature specimens), and one or two 

 other immature specimens, which I am not at present disposed to notice further.
