Eremaphilii. Chiropus should be united to Chiropacha. Miopterix should 
be placed among the Thes2)ites. Hymenopa was included among the Acan- 
thojmtcs by mistake ; it should be ranged with the Harpacites. Gonatista

Saussure (Melanges Orthopt«5rologiques) gives a monograph of the Old- 
World species of this family, in amplitication of his previous paper in the 
Mitth. schw. ent. Ges. After prefacing his memoir by considerations of the 
characters, ho gives the following table as an outline of his system : — 
A. Corpus et pedes non oppendiculata. Antennae in utroque sexu simplices, ' 
setaceno vol piloscllro. (Pedes simplices scilicet teretes vel unicarinati, 
nec lobati, nec cristati. Vertex non conoideo-productus. Abdominis 
thoracisque margines non lobati, genere Gonatisto excepto. Elytra 
simplicia, marginibus integris.) Nudipedes. 
a. Prothorax supra coxas antice dilatationem nullam efficiens, sed mar- 
ginibus parallelis, vel caput versus latius marginibus subflexuosis. 
Orthoderii. 
h. Pronotum supra coxas dilatationem ovatam efficiens, apice antico at- 
tcnuato Mantii. 
B. Pedes vel corpus appendiculata. (Pedes interdum lobati vel cristulati j 
abdominis vel thoracis margines frequenter dilatati; vertex interduin 
conoideo-productus; elytra interdum excisa marginibus sinuatis.) 
Lobipedes. 
a. Antennm in utroque sexu simplices, setacese Har^mgii. 
h. Antennm plerumque in maribus pectinatm vel serratm; pedes pie- 
rum que multicarinati Emjmsii. 
On his three plates he figures numerous species, either entirely or with 
regard to special characters. The New- World species are to be worked out 
in the “ Mission scientifique au Mexique et dans I’Am^rique centrale,” the 
printing of which work was stopped for a time by the events of the war. 
Empusa hrachyptera. Mfiklin ((Efv. Fin. Soc. 1870, pp. 36, 36) notices 
the occurrence of this species in Finland. 
New genera : — 
Parahlepharis, Saussure, Mitth. schw. ent. Ges. iii. p. 222. Differs from 
' Phyllocrania in having the horn of the vertex short, pyramidal, and nearly 
divided at the apex. Type P. kiihlii, De Haan. 
Paraoxypilus, Saussure, 1. c. p. 224. (Subtribe Mantites.) Supraanal 
lamina elongate; head and thorax with spines; margins of the abdomen 
dilated ; female apterous. Two new species, noticed below. 
Miomantis, Saussure, 1. c. p. 226. Allied to Miopteryx. Sexes unequal ; 
elytra of the female equalling the abdomen, opaque ; those of the male long 
and membranaceous. Type M. forjicata^ Stoll. 
Psendomiopteryx, Saussure, 1. c. Allied to Miopteryx. Body somewhat 
short; front mucronate in the region of the inferior ocellus. Two new 
species, noticed below. 
Micromantisj Saussure, 1. c. Allied to Archimantis. Cerci tubular, nor-
