Wien : 1878, 8vo, pp. 1-401, pis. i.-viii. 
One of the most important monographs that have ever appeared on a 
special group of Orthopterous insects ; commencing with generalities ; 
then follow a tabular sketch of the 7 tribes into which the Locustidce are 
subdivided, and a lengthy table (pp. 12-32) of the 38 groups and 112 
genera (very many new) that form the more minute subdivisions ; ending 
with a complete bibliography. The 8 (folded) plates are crowded with 
illustrations, mostly in outline, and indicating structural differences. 
Any attempt to give an analysis of the characters of the multitudinous 
new genera would be useless without reproducing the table. It may be 
remarked that the Phaneropteridce form the first of the tribe§ into which 
the Locustidce are divided by the author (followed by Meconemidce, Pro- 
chilidce, Mecopodidce^ Pseudophyllidod^ Conocephalidce^ Locustidce^ Decticidce^ 
Bradyporidce^ Heterodidce^ Ephippigeridoe^ Sagidcct Gryllacridce, and Steno- 
pelmatidce). 
StIl, 0. ^xxv Anosto stoma et quelques genres voisins. (Forms pp. 47-63 
of the author’s “ Observations cf. antea, p. 259.) 
The aim of the notes appears to be that of proving that the genera 
mentioned pertain to the Gryllidce rather than to the Locustidce.
