The genus might be divided into two ; one with a straight scutellum, the 

 other with an arched one." The only other genus about which there is any 

 doubt as to the number of species in Stenobotheus. Sowerby also observes 

 " We cannot here help expressing our opinion, that the name Loaista ought 

 to be given to that genus which contains the insect, which is called by way 

 of eminence the Locust, and Gryllus to that which contains the Cricket." Le 

 Grillon is the French for a mole Cricket. The name Tettigonia was given by 

 De Geer, in 1764, to a genus of the Homoptera, but Linnaeus included 

 under the name the Green Locust — viridissima. The generic names of Platy- 

 cleor and Decticus may be sunk, and the species included in Acrida. The 

 generic names, Apterygida, Anisolabeis, and Pachytylus may also be sunk.
