The print represents several species of the genus Gryllus, of Linnaus. The characters given it by that great naturalist, are,—an inflected head, armed with jaws; feelers filiform; antennœ setaceous, or filiform; wings four, deflected and convoluted, the lower ones plaited; posterior legs formed for leaping, and the claws double on all the feet. This diffuse and very general character includes several families, and some of these so exceedingly dissimilar, that Linnœus was under the necessity of dividing them into five sections.
