“ Locusts” in the Troad and in Cyprus. Two reports on this subject to 
the British Colonial Office (through the Entomological Society of Lon- 
don) appear in P. E. Soc. 1881, pp. xiv.-xix. & xxxviii.-xxxxix, signed 
by S. S. Saunders, E. A. Fitch, and C. 0. Waterhouse, with details on 
habits as observed by Vice-Consul Calvert. The “ locust ” proved to be 
Stauronotus cruciatus (not Galoptenus italicus, as was at first supposed), 
and its dipterous parasite is Callostoma fascipennis, Macq. This parasite, 
with its larva and pupa, and an egg-tube of the “ locust,” are figured on 
pi. xiv. At pp. xxiii.-xxvi., S. S. Saunders gives additional information, 
and alludes to another dipterous parasite, given as Barcophaga lineata, 
Fall., as destructive to the larvae.
