50 THE entomologist's record. 



jocosa, Sauss., figured by de Sanssure, resembling Prnxropidar, and 

 some Tni.ralidar, in its slender appearance. 



I know of no cases of mimicry in Grylhdca, unless Tririonidinm 

 cicindeloides can be said to resemble small Coleoptera. 



Okthoptera : Review of work done in 1898. — Little has been 

 done with regard to British species during the past year. Mccostcthus 

 grosstis, L., was again taken in the New Forest, but the most interesting 

 species that has been prominently noticed is Fnrjlcnla lemei, Fin., 

 which has been proved to be widely distributed and fairly common in this 

 country since its presence was pointed out two years ago. Collectors, 

 especially those engaged in beating, should keep a sharp look-out 

 during the coming season for Aptcryijida albipcnnh, Meg. This little 

 earwig was taken scantily by Westwood near Ashford sixty years ago, 

 but has not been found since. It occurs in flowers and on shrubs, 

 especially near water, and is a common central European species. As 

 I pointed out in TJie Ejitonwhir/ist in June last, CheUdura acanthopygia, 

 Gene, is so distributed in Europe as to justify the prediction of its 

 future capture in England, especially in the south-eastern counties. 

 Of the literature published, there is little to say. The Biologia 

 Centrali Americana appears spasmodically, M. de Saussure having 

 nearly completed his share of the work, and we look forward to 

 the volumes on the Acridiodca, and more especially Brunner's work 

 on the Phasntodea. The same orthopterist has published an accoimt 

 of Dr. Kiikenthal's collecting in the Malay Archipelago, and Zubowsky 

 has given us a useful and interesting work on the Acridiodea of 

 Asiatic Russia. Bolivar is engaged in bringing up to date our know- 

 ledge of the Orthopteran fauna of the Iberian peninsula, and Scudder 

 has brought out a monumental revision of the ponderous genus 

 Melayuiplus. — M. Burr, F.Z.S., F.E.S., New College, Oxford. January
