Fhe Linnean charaéter of the gryllus tribe confifts in 
having the head infleéted, and armed with jaws; feelers 
filiform; antennz fetaceous or filiform; wings four, de- 
fleet i 
legs formed for leaping, and the claws double on all the 
eet. 
This diffufe and very general character includes feveral 
diftin@ families, and fome of thefe fo exceedingly diflunilar, 
that Linneus was conftrained to divide his grylli into no 
lefs than five feGtions or fubdivifions for their reception ; 
thefe are his acridiz, bulle, achetz, tettigoni«, and locufte, 
the charaéters affigned refpectively to each of which are as 
follow.—The acridia have the head conic, and longer than 
the thorax ; and the antenne enfiform or fomewhat refem- 
bling a fword.—The bulle are diftinguifhed by a kind of - 
creft or elevation on the thorax, and the fize as well as 
ruécture of the antenne, which are fhorter than the thorax, . 
females in the tettigonix; the antennz in this family are 
filiform.
