Gives the result of a personal examination of the apparatus with 
regard to Landois’s previous writings on the subject. In this genus the 
wings in both sexes are so abbreviated that they consist of little more 
than the stridulating apparatus. Both sexes stridulate, but the method 
is different in each, which the author advances as opposed to Landois’s 
adaptation of Darwin’s theory that originally the apparatus was possessed 
by both sexes, and was the same in both. Concludes with notes on the 
geographical distribution, which the author says is much more extended 
than is generally supposed.
