A tabular sketch, preceded by remarks from De Saussure, and ending 
with a ‘‘ Diagnosis generum novorum.” The author divides the family 
into (Ecanthidce, Platydactylidcc, Trigonididce^ Gryllidce, Gryllotalpidcc, 
and Mogoplistidce. The new genera {Endacusta, Metrypaj Parametrypa, 
Cyrtoxipha^ Apiotarsus, Cacoplistes, Pteroplistes, and Physohlemma) are 
often founded on insects from certain localities, but they are not 
described specifically, or indicated by name. All have been treated on by 
Saussure in his subsequent ‘ Mdlanges.^ 
Gryllotalpa vulgaris is carnivorous ; W. J. Griffith, Peuil. Nat. viii. 
p. 127. Chaboz affirms that it lives chiefly on larvae of Carahidce, 1. c. 
pp. 167-160. 
Saussure completes the family in fasc. vi. of his ‘ Melanges.* It contains 
numerous important supplementary generalities, especially on the struc- 
ture of the ‘ tambour,* the armature of the posterior tibiae, and the 
conditions of the anal parts, with a more concise tabular view of the 
tribes and numerous ‘ legions,’ divided into eight divisions founded on 
varying points of anatomical structure. But the system remains practi- 
cally the same as that noticed for fasc. v. The tribes (Ecanthiens, TrU 
gonidiens, and Eneopteriens are worked out. The (Ecanthiens are sub- 
divided into three \egions~ Pentacentrites, Phalangopsites, and (Ecanthites ; 
the Trigonidiens remain without other than generic subdivision ; the 
Eneopteriens are formed of the legions Eneopterites, Phormincterites, and 
Podoscirtites.
