OKTUOPTEKA. 
an examination of the value of existing genera, many of which are 
greatly subdivided. The introductory portion is followed by a dicho- 
tomous table of genera according to the author’s views. As this paper 
is referred to in the “ Recensio Orthopterorum,” Part iii., it was pro- 
bably published previously to that work. 
The following new genera and species are characterized : — 
Clonariay p. 6, for Bacillus natalis and Westw., and gracilis, 
Burm. 
Echetlus, p. 6, also part of Bacillus, Westw., with B. peristhenes and 
peridromus, Westw., indicated as types. 
Clonistria, ibid., placed among the sub-divisions of Bacteria, Westw. 
C. hartholomcea, p. 16, St. Bartholomew. 
Bostra, p. 6, also of the group of Bacteria ; type, Bacteria turgida, 
Westw. [and infra]^ 
Donusa, p. 7, for Z), prolixa, p. 18, Valparaiso. 
Phryganistria, ibid. ; type, Lonchodes sarmentosus, Westw. 
Hoploclonia (type, Acanthoderus gecko) and Acanthodonia (type, Acan- 
thoderus tisiphone), p. 8, separated from Acanthoderus. 
Arrhidceus, p. 15 ; type, Necroscia styxius, Westw. [and infra]. 
Orobia, p. 16 ; type, 0. nigro-lineata, p. 17, Madagascar. 
Stal has also devoted the greater portion of Part iii. of his “ Recensio 
Orthopterorum” to a consideration of this group. The introduction, 
pp. 1-10, is occupied by remarks on classification, and pp. 4-105, to 
systematic arrangement, with an elaborate dichotomous table, occupying 
68 pages. The following new genera and species are characterized (it is 
impossible to give characters for the genera without mainly reproducing 
the table) : — 
Myronides, p. 8. Types, Lonchodes pfeiferce, Westw., and M. kaupi, 
p. 63, Moluccas. 
PJiraortes, p. 8. Type, Phasma elongata, Thbg. (= Lonchodes nipo- 
nensiSj Westw.), p. 64. 
Carausias, p. 8. Types, C. strumosus, p. 64, Java, and macer, p. 65, 
Samarang. 
Dixippus, p. 9. Includes Phasma crawangense, Haan, nodosum, var. a, 
Haan, and Lonchodes uniformis, Westw.

pseudoporus, Westw., russelli. Bates, &c, 
Hyrtacus, p. 10. Type, H. tuberculatus, p. 67, Australia. Bacteria 
eutrachelia, Westw., should be also referred to the genus.

malaya, p. 68, Malacca, and Medaura (p. 69), including S. (if.) brunneri,

Candovia, p. 12. Type, Bacteria ccenosa ?, Westw. 
Macella, p. 13. Types, Bacillus souchongia, Westw., and if. dentata, • 
p. 70, Cochin China.
