PRE FACE.
THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List of
all the genera and species of Dermaptera -Saltatoria known to
exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists.
The letters a, b, c, &c.., after the species, denote the specimens now
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the
mode in which each of them was obtained ; and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and there-
fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

G. macrurus and G. guttatus, like il, have long bind tibia?, but in these
two species the spines are much siouier. G. macrurus agrees with it also
in the prothorax, which is sliuhtly narrower in front, and in the head, which
is rather smaller than that of the more typical species.

CATALOGUE OF BLATTARIJ1.
Note. The Catalogue of Blattarice published in 1868 was un-
avoidably incomplete, as I was not able to have access to Brunner von
Wattenwyl's * Nouveau Systeme des Blattaires,' nor to obtain information
respecting it. References, therefore, to the above work and descriptions of
a few new species are here added as a Supplement to the Catalogue.

ZETOBORA GUTTIPENNIS.
Mas. Nigra ; caput antice fulvum ; antenna piceee, Jiliformes, sub-
monili formes^ corpure paullo breviores ; prothorax scaber, caput
superans, ferrugineo antice marginalus, sulcis nonnullis parvis
longitudinalibus ; ventris latera fulvo strigata ; pedes fulvi ; alte
anticcB ferruginea, abdomen longissime superantes, testaceo gutlatce,
basi nigricantes ; al< postica cinerece, striga costali nigricante.
Male. Black, smooth and shining beneath. Head small, concealed
by the prothorax, tawny towards the mouth. Eyes transversely elongated,
approximate on the vertex. Palpi tawny, nearly filiform ; third joint very
much longer than the second. Antennae piceous, filiform, submoniliform,
a little shorter than the body. Prothorax scabrous, transversely elliptical,
narrowly bordered with ferruginous in front and on each side, its breadth
about twice its length ; a few short longitudinal furrows on the disk.
Pectus tawny. Abdomen beneath with short transverse tawny streaks along
each side. Cerci black, short, lanceolate. Legs tawny, setulo'se, moderately
long and stout; hind tibiae with seven or eight spines on the outer side and
with three on the inner side. Fore wings ferruginous, very much longer
than the body, blackish and more coriaceous towards the base, adorned
except near the base with numerous testaceous dots ; longitudinal veins
forked. Hind wings cinereous, as long as the fore wings, with a blackish
costal streak. Length of the body 8 lines ; of the wings 30 lines.
The greater length of the wings compared to that of the abdomen
distinguishes it from other species of the genus. It has most resemblance
to Z. rugosa, from which it decidedly differs in the markings of the fore
wings.

Tarsi four-jointed ; first, second and third joints broad ; fourth slender, as

be distinguished from the neighbouring genera by their very prominent
eyes, by the spines on the fore femora, and by the structure of the fore
wings.

thorax, globose above. Mandibles black. Fourth joint of the maxillary
palpi rather longer lhan the third ; tip black. Antenna piceous, testaceous
at the base. Prothorax transverse, without markings ; a transverse furrow
near the fore border and an oblique furrow on each side. Cerci lanceolate,
finely pubescent, about one third of the length of the oviduct. Oviduct
curved upwerd, rather more than half the length of the abdomen. Femora
striped with black ; four anterior femora finely setulose beneath ; hind
femora with about five minute teeth beneath; hind tibia3 with seven minute
spines on each side. Fore wings contracted towards the tips, as long as the
hind wings; veins of the ground hue; transverse sectors regular. Hind
wings paler and more diaphanous, somewhat longer than the abdomen,
with six rather irregular brown bands between the transverse sectors, these

the body 14 lines ; of the wings 27 lines.
The much shorter and more curved oviduct, the striped femora and
the less distance of the last band from the exterior border of the hind wings
distinguish it from G. maculicollis.

A specimen from Bourn in Mr. Saunders' collection appears to be a
variety of this species. The oviduct is much longer than the abdomen.

dots ; the bands are more regular in the right wing than in the left ; the
sixth is narrower than the others, and there is an exterior black line.

SUMMARY. 215
S U M M A K Y.
This Part of the Catalogue of Derraaptera contains the Gryllidae,
a Supplement to the Catalogue of Blattanae, and the beginning of the
Locustidae.
The Supplement to the Blattariae records the new species described
in the ' Nouveau Systeme des Blattaires, par C. Brunner de Wattenwyl,'
the most complete work hitherto published on that tribe, and which I was
not able to notice in the previous Catalogue. He describes about 378
species, and gives a synopsis of their geographical distribution in 16
regions, of which 2 are European, 4 American, 3 African, 4 Asiatic,
1 Australasian, 1 Australian, and 1 including the Isle in the Pacific and
New Zealand. He distributes the genera in eight families, and the
primary divisions are like those of De Saussure.
About 378 species of Gryllida3 are registered in this Part, and their
geographical distribution is as follows :
Europe 18
Europe and Madeira 1
Europe and W. Asia 1
