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.

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
