Another remarkable grasshopper is _Alectoria superba_, found in the dry western country among the grass; it is a long, slender, green insect, measuring 2½ inches; the elytra and legs are richly mottled with bright reddish brown; the thorax is produced into a large circular crest edged with bright red, a large boss below on either side, and another projecting above the head. The female has a very small lance-like ovipositor. The Speckled Green Grasshopper, _Ephippitytha 32-guttata_, is about the same length as the last, of a somewhat lighter green tint, and has the elytra mottled with a double row of black spots varying from 32 to 44 in number. The head is small, the thorax short and somewhat saddle-shaped. It is found about Sydney on flowering shrubs; and there is a darker variety which has a wide range over the interior, to which Tepper has given the name of _E. quadrigesima-guttatus_. The Small Green Grasshopper, _Caedicia valida_, is one of our dainty, slender, green species found in the gardens, where it sometimes damages the young fruit by gnawing patches off the skin, or nibbles holes in the foliage; it produces a sharp musical note uttered three times in succession. The Large Green Leaf Grasshopper, _Locusta vigentissima_, figured by McCoy, is also found on low shrubs in the summer; it measures nearly 3 inches, and is of a uniform dull green colour, with the head, legs and antennae more or less yellow: the head is broad; the thorax stout; the legs long and spiny; the elytra long, tapering to the tips; the wings large, semitransparent; the abdomen short, in the female furnished with a long sabre-like ovipositor. The Lance-headed Grasshopper, _Pseudorhynchus lessonii_, has a wide range along the eastern coast among the long grass; it is green, with the tips of the elytra marked with yellow; the wings are small, and the front of the head produced into a lance-like point. Among the foliage of the eucalypts in Southern Australia there is a very handsome large grasshopper with the head small, the thorax very square, and the elytra very leaf-like in form; it has a curious bloom upon it like that upon many of the gum leaves, and is a very fine case of mimicry. The Genus _Anostosoma_ comprises a number of reddish brown wingless locusts more like crickets in many ways, for they live chiefly in holes in the ground, have long thread-like antennae, and stout spiny legs. _Anostosoma australasiae_ is a very formidable looking insect with immense head and jaws, originally described from Moreton Bay; it is sometimes found about Sydney, measuring 3 inches in length; it has antennae over 4 inches long. The smaller species, _Anostosoma erinaceus_, is of a similar colour and form, but not more than 1½ inches in length; it is not uncommon in gardens.
