LNf2 Syst. nat., ed. xii, I, ii, 692 (767), placed in Acrida (as a division of Gryllus) the species nasutus, turritus, and brevicornis. Fabricius, Syst. entom., 279 (I775) substituted Truxalis (as a distinct genus) for Acrida, placing in it the species nasutus (with turritus as va’iety) and brevicornis the identical species and those only employed byLinn6. Truxalis alone came into general use; but Stal, Rec. Orthopt., (x873), first separated the above species into distinct genera, placing in Acrida among others the species turrita (96) and nasuta (99) and in Tryxalis the single species brevicornis (o4). Brunner (Rv. syst. Orthopt. IxS, 893) uses Tryxalis for the species placed by Linn and Stal in Acrida, and proposes Metaleptea for brevicornis, but Stal was first on the ground, and Brunner’s name must fall as superfluous. This conclusion was also reached by McNeil in his recent Revision of the Tryxalinae (see Proc. Day. acad. nat. sc., vi, 2Ix.) S. tt. Scudder. AMOSIA PLEXIPPUS IN AUSTRALIA.

Its establishment here, therefore, depends mainly upon that of a Cape plant, the cotton bush’ (Gomphocarpum fruticosum). Both plant and butterfly are now widely distributed in South Australia.
