Brauer (c/1 ante, p. 6) considers the Rorficulidce to represent a distinct 
Order (Dermaptera). Under li Orthoptera*genuina” he has two groups, 
viz.:-^-(l) Mononeura," which includes Embidce (with doubt), Blattidce, 
and Mantidce , and (2) i( Heteroneura in which are placed Phasmidce and 
the saltatorial families,
