ORTHOPTERA. Q11 
Of the first section (Stenobothrus, sensu strictiore, Bol.), we have only 
S. lineatus, Panz. With us it is more or less local, but it is found 
throughout Europe, except in the extreme north. The other members 
of this section are purely southern. 
Of the second section (Omocestus, Bol.), we have no representative. 
Of the third section (which together with section 4=Stauwroderus, 
Bol.), we have two closely allied forms, S. riridudus, L., found through- 
out northern and central Europe, and 8S. rujipes, Zett., with a similar 
distribution, but rarer in the north, and not penetrating so high in the 
mountains as the former. Very closely allied to the latter is S. 
haemorrhoidalis, Charp., which is found in central HKurope. It may 
possibly occur also in our southern counties. 
Section 5 of Brunner, included by Bolivar in the same subgenus 
as the last species, includes S. bicolor and 8. higuttulus. Of these the 
former is perhaps our commonest species, while the latter remains to 
be discovered. 8. bicolor is equally common throughout Europe, but 
S. biguttulus less so; it is to be found, however, from Scandinavia to 
the Alps, and might well be a native of this country. This subgenus 
Stauroderus contains a large number of species, occurring chiefly in 
the south and east of Europe, which are not known in Great Britain. 
The last part of section 5 (Chorthippus, Fieb., Bolivar) contains 
at least two British species. SS. parallelus, Zett., occurs throughout 
Hurope from Norway to Greece, and is perhaps in Britain our commonest 
grasshopper. Its near ally, 8. Jongicornis, is found in central France, 
and should be looked for in our southern counties also. 8. elegans is 
very local with us, though abundant where it does occur; on the 
continent it is widely distributed, but does not seem to be common. 
It has been recorded as occurring in Belgium, Berlin, Sweden, Austria, 
and in the south, Istria, Croatia, Hungary, Transsylvania, Servia, Mol- 
dayia, and Bosnia. A closely allied species with a wider distribution is S. 
dorsatus, Gett., which would be more naturally expected to be a native 
of England than S. ele gans ; it is common in most places throughout 
northern and eastern Europe. Another member of the same group is 
S. pulvinatus, Fisch. de W., which has been found in Jersey and in the 
north of central France. The small genus Gomphocerus is represented 
by G. rufus and G. maculatus, both being common in north and 
central Kurope. 
No species of Ocedipodidae, Acridiidac, Pamphagidaeand Pyrgomorphidae 
are found in England, though all are more or less well represented in 
Kurope. Of the ieree family Tettiyidae, we have but two known im 
Britain, both of which are widely distributed in Europe; another 
“Species 7’. fuliyinosus is known from Sweden and Lapland, and should 
be sought for in Scotland. 
The largest family of the Locustodea is the Phaneropteridae, ot 
which there are two distinct types, the apterous and the winged forms. 
In Britain we have only the common wingless Leptophyes punctatissima, 
Bosc., but it is quite conceivable that some forms of DBarbitistes or 
Orphania may some day turn up in our hills and forests. 
The Meeonemidae are a restricted family, and we are not likely to 
have anything more than the common M. rari, which is widely 
distributed in central Lurope. 
The genus Platycleis contains a large nwnber of species, some with 
very restricted distribution. Our three species are well spread over
