Three new genera and species of the family Pneumoridae (Orth. Acridoidea)

In 1962, the South African entomologist H. Dick Brown, sent me photographs of two curious insects. The study of these photographs, and later the insects themselves, proved that they represent a most peculiar new genus of the family Pneumoridae.Peer reviewe

Revision of western palaearctic species of the genus Acrida linne (Orthoptera, acrididae).

Número enero-junioAccording to literature, Acrida turrita L. is a species occuring throughout Africa, Southern Europe and Asia, Malayan Archipelago and Australia. Such an enormous distribution area suggests that the name has been applied to several species. A revision based mainly on the material of the British Museum from the Western part of Palaearctic region has shown that A. turrita L. is restricted to North Africa, whereas in Europe, Asia and Australia there occur a number of very distinct species, onlv few of which have been previouslv described.Peer reviewe

A contribution to the fauna of Acrididae of Syria and neighbouring countries

1 mapa.Número enero-junioThis article is the result of working out the material collected by the members of the Middle East Biological Studies Scheme, G. II. Q., Middle East Forces, in 1944-1945 (referred to in the text as M. E. B. S. S.) and presented to the British Museum by Dr..H. B. Scott, and of some collections made by other persons, particularly by Mr. E. S. Brown, who visited Syria and Iraq in 1946 while attached to the Middle Fast Anti-Locust Unit.Peer reviewe

Tree locusts of the genus Anacridium (Orthoptera, Acricliclae)

Número enero-marzoThe genus Anacridium was established by Uvarov in 1923 to include three species and one subspecies. Since then, abundant material of specimens of this genus became available and a more comprehensive revision can now be undertaken. Such a revision is greatly neecled because of considerable confusion with regard to some previously known and common species, arid in order to include those recently described and new ones. Another reason for the revision is the actual, or potential, economic importance of some of the species. The available information on the ecology, life-histories and habits of Anacridium species includes some points of general interest and we thought it worth while to summarise it.Peer reviewe

Note on three aberrant genera of Acridoidea from South and Central America (Orthoptera)

There are several genera of Acridoidea in South and Central America the systematic positions of which are obscure. They have usually been referred by authors to the subfamily Catantopinae and placed into one or other group of genera of this subfamily ; subsequent authors have put them into other groups and thus they are still wandering from one group to another. Recently the opportunity arose to study the genitalia, particularly the phallic complex, of three of these genera. The result of this study does not help, however, to place them definitely into groups, but it does indicate the groups in which they cannot he placed. To create for each of these genera a separate, monogeneric taxon of the status of tribe, subfamily or family, would be premature in the present state of our knowledge of the Acridoidea fauna of South and Central America, which is probably less studied than that of any other region of the 'World. Further study of Acridoidea in this region will doubtless produce many more genera and species which would help to classify them more correctly.Peer reviewe
