Achetid^. — R atzeburg (Ent. Zeit. p. 267) has drawn attention to a 
sexual distinction in the abdomen of the Mole-cricket {Oryllotalpa vul- 
garis) ; in the male, all the eight abdominal segments are formed pretty- 
much alike, while, in the female, the last two are remarkably small, and 
the penultimate appears to be slightly shortened, towards the sides, into 
a semicircular form, in the living animal. The author farther remarks, 
that the female watches her eggs after having laid them. 
The reporter (Arch. 1842, i. p. 24:9) has described a Mole-cricket from 
Van Diemen’s Land, Gryllotalpa australis, which is distinguished by 
the want of under wings in the male. 
Harris (Ins. of Massachus. p. 122) mentions three species of Acheta, 
in Massachusetts, living in the open air ; — A . ahbreviata, identical with 
Serville’s of the same name ; A. nigra, whoUy black, with very short or 
rudimentary wings; 6'" long; A. (Nemobius) vittata, 3-4:"' long, with 
only the stumps of tegmina ; dusky brown, sometimes passing into black ; 
three black stripes on the vertex, one on the sides of the prothorax, pass- 
ing on to the tegmina, which are generally lighter coloured ; the posterior 
thighs have three rows of oblique black stripes on the outside. They 
are found in company, in the day time, on the meadows and roads.
