212 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
Europe, but one other P. bicolor, Phil., a native of central Kurope, 
might yet turn up. LP. grisea is common throughout HKurope; P. 
brachyptera 1s common in northern and central Europe, but does not 
occur in the south; P. roeselii has a similar distribution, but is rarer 
in the north, and is further spread in the south; Brunner gives 
Croatia, Istria, Mehadia and Seryia, and I have taken it in Bosnia, as 
far as I know, the most southerly point of its occurrence. 
Thamnotrizon includes about twenty species, most of which are 
confined to the southern and eastern parts of the continent, but T. 
cinereus 18 common throughout northern and central Europe, 
Deecticus verrucivorus, L., is even commoner and more widely 
distributed than the last species, and it is surprising that it is so rare 
in Britain, it 1s numerous in Sweden in the north, and in the south I 
have taken it abundantly in the plains of Wallachia. The other two 
species of the genus are essentially meridional. 
Locusta viridissima, L., is common from Sweden to Sicily; I have 
taken it im numbers near Stockholm, and again in the south. An 
allied species, L. cantans, occurs in the mountains of central Europe, 
and might possibly be taken in our hills. 4. caudata is even a finer 
species than LF. viridissima, but is rarer and is found only in the south 
and east of Europe. 
Xiphidium is a very large genus, found throughout the world in 
temperate and tropical zones. The commonest European species is 
X. fuscum, which strangely enough is not known in this country. I 
have taken it in Germany and in Dalmatia, but it is not found in 
Scandinavia nor in Belgium. X. dorsale is a much rarer species, but 
is commoner in the north than XY. fuscwm, and occurs in Sweden and 
Belgium, where the other is unknown. 
Nemobius sylvestris, Fab. is with us confined to the New Forest, 
but it is abundant in all woods in central Europe. Why it has not 
been discovered in other parts of England is a mystery, and there is 
no reason why it should not be found in many other localities. The 
other three Huropean species of the genus are ‘southern. 
Gryllus campestris, L., is found throughout Kurope except in the 
extreme north; with us it is distinctly local, but occurs in a few sandy 
places. In the «‘ Hope collection” at Oxford, there 1s a specimen with 
fully developed wings, which may be a variety of this species or the 
allied bimaculatus, which is unlikely, as the latter is purely a southern 
form. It may be distinguished from G. campestris by haying the head 
not broader than the pronotum. The long-winged variety of G. 
campestris is a rare form, and should be carefully sought. 
Gryllotalpa is a genus which is also very w idely distributed through- 
out the world. Our species is common in all Hurope, and in some 
places is even a nuisance. The variety with short wines (G. cophta, 
de Haan), should be carefully looked for. 
On 4 FEW ORTHOPTERA FROM SUFFOLK.— Mr. Claude Morley has been 
so kind as to send me a few Orthoptera from Suffolk. There is nothing 
very rare aniong them, except Stenobothrus elegans, Charp., which is a 
very locally distributed species. My only justification in writine the 
following note lies in the fact that few if any Orthoptera haye been 
recorded from Suffolk, so that the chief interest lies in the localities.
