inhabits East Africa. Epilampra inhabits South Africa, China, Hindostan, 

 Australasia, Australia, South America towards the Atlantic and Central 

 America, and attains a very large size in some of the numerous species of 

 the East Indian Archipelago. Ischnoptera inhabits South Africa, 

 Hindostan, Australasia, Australia and all the regions of America. Sclerop- 

 terus inhabits South Africa, Australasia and, New Zealand. Homceogryllus 

 and Petasia inhabit South Africa ; Hemimacris, Phoeophilacris, Cosmoderus 

 and Palotta are as yet unknown except in this region. Pseudorhynchus 

 inhabits Australasia and Australia. Orophus inhabits South Africa, South 

 America towards the Atlantic, Central America and North America. 

 Pseudophyllus, indicating by its name the great resemblance of its fore 

 wings to leaves, inhabits South Africa, China, Hindostan (where it attains 

 a vast size) and Australasia. Orophus and Phylloptera also belong to the 

 group with leaf-like fore wings. Mecopoda and Phymateus inhabit South 

 Africa, Hindostan and Australasia. Mesops inhabits South Africa, 

 Hindostan, Australasia, South America towards the Atlantic, and perhaps 

 North America. Tinaria appears as yet to be peculiar to St. Helena. 

 Cladonotus inhabits South Africa, China, Hindostan and Australasia. 

 Hymenotes, remarkable by its resemblance to a dead leaf, inhabits 

 Australasia.

The genera of Dermaptera in South Africa appear to be very nume- 

 rous. The same species of locusts that occasionally devastate North 

 Africa are also destructive here. Proscratea inhabits Central America and 

 both sides of South America. Zetobora inhabits Australasia, Australia and 

 the three regions of America just mentioned. Aptera, Homalodemas, 

 Gromphadorhina, Euryzosteria, Tivia, Lobeda, Podoscirtus, Ectatoderus, 

 Hirpinus, Clonia, Horatospbaga, Debrona, Aspidonotus, Strongyloderus, 

 Legna, Amycus, Akicera, Pamphagus, Nocarodes, Eupropacris, Pnorisa, 

 Morphacris, Pneumora and Cystocoelia are peculiar to this region ; the two 

 last genera have a very remarkable and peculiar structure. Nessa and 

 Prachycola inhabit South America towards the Atlantic. Euthyrrapha
