BLATTIDiE. 
The notices under this heading consist entirely of extracts from the works 
of H. DE Saussure. 
In the ^ Mission Scientifique au Mexique/ &c., livr. i., he gives generalities 
on the structure of the abdomen and of the organs of flight, and a synonymic 
table of the nomenclature of the parts of the wing. The subject is treated 
in a comparative manner with respect to the author’s previous works, and 
the system laid down by Brunner v. Wattenwyl. There are also numerous 
modifications of classification, many species redescribed, and beautifully 
executed coloured plates. Two new genera are established : — - 
Paraloboptera, p. 86. As in Lohoptera^ but the tarsi without arolia. 
Paraletindia, p. 111. Formed to receive Letindia azteca. 
In the ‘ Melanges Orthopt4rologiques,’ fasc. iv. pp. 91-154, he describes 
many new species, previously unknown sexes, and other species previously 
described but hitherto unknown to him. The following are the new
