S Y N O P S I S

The trans-Palaearctic genus Callipíamus Serville is revised, thirteen species now being included in the genus. The genus consists of two main elements, a northern temperate group of four species and a southern ternperate group of nine. The genus Metromerus Uvarov is synonymized with Calliptamus. A provisional key to genera in the sub-family Calliptaminae has been drawn up, together with keys to species and subspecies in the genus Cailiptamus. Observations are given on polymorphism in the genus, geographical vanation, and posible correlation of variation with climatic factors. Two species are newly described.

INTRODUCTIOS

Calliptamzts Serville, 1831, with Gryllzcs Loczcsta itnlicus L., 1758 as type, originally contained two additional species now known as ArcyPtera ficsca (Pallas, 1773) and V d e r m aeneo-oculata (De Geer, 1773). In 1838 Serville added C. ictericzis and C. margilzellzcs to the genus, though omitting mention of Acridium barbarzcm Costa, 1836. His descriptions were based on Spanish material, and it ic clear that he confused C . italiczcs (L.) (which does not occur south of the Pyrenees) with C. wattenwylianus (Pantel), “ ictericzcs ” being erected for C. bnrbnrics (Costa) material coliected near bladnd. Early in 1838, the genus under its emended form of Caloptelzus (created by Burmeister), contained the type of this genus and four other species now known as

phjmits haemntopiis (L., 17 j8), and Rnchitopis melnnoplzis (Burmeister, 1838). Later in 1838, Burmeister introduced Caloptews sicdits, clearly synonymous tvith C. bnrbnrzis (Costa). Wder geographical data were @ven by Fischer (18j3), his genus including Cnlopferttis sictclus, barbarus, ifaliczcs, and ictericzcs. C. barbarus he claimed intergraded nith italiczis, while the latter was described as possessing a variety 9nnrgiizellrcs. I t may be noted that Senille suggested varietal status for iiiarginellzts when he described it in 1838, 1. Bolivar (1876) later endorsing this view.

Walker (1870) described CaZupteizzrs discoidalis as new, and placed italiczcs (L.) and icfericzis Serville in Caloptenais : he probably confused his species with barbnrzis (Costa) and ~ ~ a t f e ~ t ~ y l i a s z i i s (Pantel) as Serville had done earlier, since his “ ifaliczis ” occurred in Syria and Israel, his “ ictericzis ” in Sorth Africa. The emended name Calliptelzzis \vas given to the genus by Sta1 (1873). The type of the genus and five other species were included, the modern Splzodmnerzrs sernpis (Serville, 1S38), Plegmatopteriis iriszis (Serville, 1838), Eziryphymzrs hnematopzis (L., I758), Calliptamiczu semirosezs (Senille, 1838), and Arceziryí&hynzzts eryflzropzis (Thunberg, 181 j). 1. Boli- var (1876), writing on the Orthoptera of Spain and Portugal, mentioned C. italiczts (L) and C. ictericris (Serville), the fonner probably being C. mzffenwylialzzrs (Pantel) and the latter C. bavbarzis (Costa). Since the name C. ictericzis was also applied later to material of C. wattenwylianzu (Pantel), e.g. by Brunner (1882), it is difficult to interpret Bolivar’s species. Brunner, in 1882, started a trend by synonymizing ali previously recopized species and subspecies under C. italiczis (L.), his Caloptenzrs brzinlzeri Sta1 later being made type for the genus Pnracaloptelztcs 1. Bolivar. As late as 1898 1. Bolivar stili agreed with Brunner in giving C. wattevzwylialzzis vanetal status

Kirby (1890) clarified the correct generic synonymy, and fured C. italicus (L.) as logotype. In 1902, Jacobsen & Bianchi put the genera Sphodromerus, Calliptamzcs, and Paracaloptelztcs into a group, the Calliptamini. Caloptelzzis coelesyrielzsis (Giglio- Tos, 1893) \vas added to Calliptamzcs by them, though siczrlzrs Burmeister and wattelzwylia.nzs (Pantel) retained their varietal status. To the varieties of Caloptemis barbarzis, Vosseler added var. deserticola in 1902.

Kirby’s catalogue of 1910 synonymized most of the post-Linnaean species under Callifitamzis italiczis (L.), six other species being included in the genus CalliPiamus : discoidalis Walker, marmarotzis Fischer-IValdheim, cephalofes Fischer-Waldheim, vzrlca.nizts Krauss, tarsizis Fischer-Waldheim, and sczitz’fer M’alker. Of the first four, zuclcanizis was given its correct name of C. plebeizis (Walker) in 192 j, and the others synonymized under C. barbnrzis (Costa). C. tarsizrs and C. sczitifer were eventually removed from the genus.

Recognition of C. bimaculatzu lirauss, 1902 (now in the genus Cdoptefiopsis)l C. abbreviatzis Ikonnikov, 1913, and C. okbaensis Kheil, 1915, started the last phase in taxonomic development, in which the numbers of species and subspecies in the genus greatly increased. Between 1928 and 1940, however, 8 new species and 4 subspecies appeared. In 19 ji, Ramme descnbed C. italiczis ilzszrlaris., C. temicercis syriaczrs, C. telzuicercis azwnlztipes, C. barbnrzis pallidipes, and C. palaestinensis erythrocnemis, Maian naming C. t em i - cercis iraciis and Mishchenko C. barbarzis italztis. Also in 1951 Nishchenko described two new subspecies of Aletromerus coelesyriensis (Giglio-Tos) : ilzfricntris and hissaricus. In rg j2, C. nfg?mtzcs Ramme and C. bnrbarzispnllidipes f . salilza hlaran were described.

The basis of the following revision is a comparative study of the male phallic complex. This provides good species and subspecies characters. The components of the phaliic complex can be seen in Text-figures I and 2, orientation irc sifci within the insect being demonstrated in Text-figure 2: J, p. 293.

The nomenclature of the phallic comples is largely that followed by Dirsh (1956)

ody.

Uvarov (1922) still recognized only two species.

The epiphallus, while poscessing characterc of genenc importance, can be very variable (see Test-figure I j: Jr, o, Q. p. 31 j). So too are the cingular rami (Text-figure Ig) and anterior espansionc of the penis valves (Test-figure Ih). BIost ctability is found in penis and cingular valve morphology, to which aii other charac- ters (phaíiic or esternal) can be related. Within the genuc aedeagal types faii into two groupc :

(i) Those with elongate blade-like penis valves, whose membranous lateral appen- dices curl upwards over the tongue-like cingular valve, e.g. C. ifnlicris (L.) (Test-figure 10: c and D. p. 307). The group contains the northern temperate element of the genus, best adapted to cooler, wetter, boreal conditions. Of the four species in the group, C. abbveviatzts Ikonnikov has probably evolved from C. ifaliczts (L.) under isolation in the Far East and central Asia, while C. tzirarzicrrs Tarbinsky has evolved from C. wattenuyliams (Pantel) when the two species were separated by the unfavourable semi-desert conditions which now prevail in the Bliddle East (Test-figures 6 and 7,

(ii) Those in which the penis valves are blunter, often rugose and deeply pigmented, the lateral appendices of the penis valves merely abutting on the cingular valve later- ally, the appendices being thickened and frequently auricular in shape. The cingular ralve is broad and apically thickened, the posterior edge usuaiiy being straight in outline, e.g. C. bnrbnvtis (Costa) (Text-figure z j: c and F. p. 339). The group forms the southern temperate element of the genus, best adapted to warmer, drier, semi-desert or dry hlediterranean conditions. Of the nine species in the group, C. bnrbarus (Costa) has widest distnbution, and has given rice to two island species (C. madeirne Uvarov and C. plebeizis (Walker)), tvhile three further species may have arisen from C. barbarzts as a result of the isolation of elements during the last glacial espansion in Europe (C. sttbnlpirzzrs sp. n., C. cyremzicczu sp. n., and C. siciliae Ramme). C. coelesyriensis (Giglio-Tos), C. temiicercis (Tarbinsky), and C. balziclzn Uvarov complete the group, C. bnlzrcha probably having evolved in the isolation of the Western Himalayas from elements of C. terzziicercis. All subspecies in the group seem to be centred on moun- tainous areas where a rigorous climate and isolation in a rugged topography have necessitated marked evolutionary change. Thus C. barbnrzis $Jn¿aestimwsis (Ramme) is centred on the mountain backbone of Lebanon and Israel, C. bulucha braclzypterus (Dirsh) on the higher valleys of the Hindu Kush, and C. coelesyrierzsis hissnrzcus Siishchenko on the Tien Shan and mountains of northem Afghanistan.

Phaiiic characters have been used for this group by Tarbinsky (1g30), Silvestri (1g34), Grassé & Hollande (1g4j), Chopard (1943), and Ramme (rgjI). Unfor- tunately they deal in each case escept the last with only a s m d range of the distribu- tion of each species.

Under each species type data and despository foliow the name, while the diagnosis which follows the synonymy deals jn tum 111th the morphology of the male phallic complex, cercus and tegrnina, general colouring, posterior femorai and tibiai colour, hind wing morphology and colour. Females are discussed separately and their morphology compared with that of the males. The wing vein nomenclature used is that of Ragge (1955). XIeasurements are given in millimetres throughout, the number of individuals measured, range and mean, being listed for males and females. The following measurements are used in this paper.

This applies (i) Total length-distance from frons to apices of folded tegmina. even in brachypterous forms.

(ii) Head width-horizontal distance across outside of compound eyes. (ui> Femur length-distance from proximal end of posterior femur to tip of outer

apical lobe at joint with tibia. The term “ knee of posterior femur ” refers to expanded distai portion.

(iv) Tegminal length-distance from intersection of costal border of tegmen with posterior edge of pronotum to apex of tegmen, wings and tegmina being folded.

Sections on distribution and material examined are followed by a discusion section, keys to subspecies being inserted where appropriate. All material examined is represented by series or specimens in the collections

of the Bntish Museum (Natural History), uniess otherwise stated. Aü types mentioned in the text were examined by the author, or, if the holotype was not avail- able, representative valid paratype material was used.

Keys to species proved especialiy difficult for females, where colour characters were of necessity one of the main criteria for separation. Two keys are therefore included, and that to males should be used for diagnosis wherever posible. Isolated female material may be tentatively identified from the key (p. gro), which is geo- graphically sub-divided.

Full details of material under “material esamined” sections are available in the thesis held in the library of the University of London, Senate House, London, W.C.I.

Wherever the abbreviation C. is used it stands for CaZZiPtamzcs. Other generic emendations or synonyms beginning wlth C are written in f d .

Two references may sometimes be given under one name in the synonymy sections, e.g. see p. 333. The second, after a semi-colon, refers to an important subsequent refer- ente to the earlier name.

I ~ E Y TO THE GENERA OF THE SUBFAUILY CALLIPTAJIISAE

The eleven genera in the Calliptaminae are all related on epiphallic characters (Dirsh, 1956), and possess cerci modified in some degree as clasping organs. The genera can only be defined using a number of characters. Uvarov (igjo) recognized the provisional nature of his key, and explained that the characters used were probably too arbitras. to be retained. Examination of Cnloptenopsis 1. Bolivar indicated that it is probably a compound of five genenc units, at least one of which is inseparable from Acorypha Krausc.

A bnef review of genenc characters follows : (i) Cerczrs-weak and tapered, e.g. Palaciosa C. Bol. and Indomevzts Uv. (Test-fig. 3 : P and

Q) , o í powerful and tri- or bi-lobed, e.g. Calliptamus Serv. (Text-fig. 3 : O) ; usually bearing an inwardly directed hook apically (Text-fig. 3 : N and O). In Palaciosa weak with no such hook. In Calopttwaopsis 1. Bol., Boihrocaracvis Uv., Paracaloptenzis 1. Bol., and Acorypha Kr., shorter than that in Calliptamus Serv., biiaterally greatly flattened, and broadly lobed apically. Ghanaian material of Stobbea riggenbachi Rme. shows a distinct trend towards formation of an apically tri-lobed tq-pe. The tendency is thus not confined only to Cnlliptamzrs Serv.

(ii) Posterior tibia1 spzrrs-in Cnlliptamrcs Serv. (Test-fig. 20 : E. p. 3 ~ 4 ) ~ outermost and longer of inner pair is unmodified. Calopenopsis 1. Bol. and Acoryphn Kr. show a tendency towards elongation of this spur, its tip finally becoming pre-apically placed behind a hirsute lobe (Test-fig. 3 : U, and Text-fig. 20 : F and G. p. 324). One Acovypha species in Ghana has both inner spurs modified. Botlwocavacvis Uv., and to a lesser estent Itzdomerrrs Dirsh, show modified spurs. The character may not indicate phyletic relationship.

(iU) Tegmina-in Calliptamzu Serv. all intermediates occur between a fully alate state and an extreme brachypterous condition (where tegmina become transformed into dorso-laterally situated scales. In contrast al1 Paracaloptenus 1. Bol., Palaciosa C. Bol., Indomerrrs Dirsh, a d Peripolrrs Mart. species are characterized by scale-like tegmina.

(iv) Pronotzrm-many Caloptetropsis species resemble Callipplamus Serv. in having a weakiy developed median carina, and slight anterior convergence in lateral carinae (Test-fig. 19 : EJ. p. 322). Typical Acovypha Iír. species have strongly convergent lateral carinae and an acuteiy pointed median posterior border, many " Cnloptenopsis " species iinfortunately showing strong trends towards this Qpe. Boszmtia Rme. and Bvachyxetzia Kirby have lateral carmae almost oblit- erated, and a broad pronotum with moderate to heavy surface rugosiq. Pevipolrrs Mart. and Paracaloptenus 1. Bol. have strongly tectiform pronota with smooth flat inter-carinal areas, distinct carinae, and a facies similar to that of the unrelated West African genus JIaznen St%i. Much apparent siniilarity may be due to convergent evolution.

(v) :Vale phaZlic complex-if this complex organ can be taken as being a more reliable indicator of phyletic affinity, then Brachyxenia Kirby and Peripolus hfart. (Text.fig. 3 : C and D) show strong resemblances, as does Indomerus Dirsh, with C. coelesyriensis hissaricus (Mistsh.) (Text-fig. 3 : A, and 14: B. p. 313). Cnloptenopsis 1. Bol. seems to be a compound genus. some groups of species resembling Acorypha type in phallic structure (see Text-fig. 3 : L, and Text-fig. 3 : E and G-J). Palaciosa C. Bol. is unique (Text-fig. 3 : B). I t is of course difficult as yet to homo- logize parts in different penis valve systems.

The following key is based mainly on male facies. 1. Cingular valve with edges curled inwards forming a partly closed tube (Text-fig. 3 : C

5 . Cercus rugosely pitted on outer surface, rather weak and markedly tapered apically. Apex bilobed (Text-fig. 3 : Q. p. 296). Penis valves well developed (Text-fig. 3 : A. p. 296) but unlike most of genus Calliptamus, flattened into a plane parallel with that of cingular valve.

considered justifiedbecause the characters used to separate the genera areappiicable to either. Indeed Uvarov found the genus difficult to define when he revised it in 1943.

(i) Cercus morphology of JIetromerau Uvarov is closely approached by many specimens of C. sirbalpintts, C. zattenwylianzrs (Text-figure 24 : H, J, X.p. 336), C . turaniczis, and C. siciliae (Text-figure 24: XVIII. p. 336), as well as montane forms of C. barbarus (Text-fig. 24 : XI, XIV. p. 336). Moreover the subspecies C. coelesyriensis hissariciis often has a triiobed cercus apex.

(ii) The male genitalia show oniy specific differences, i.e. no more different than C. italiczis is from C. barbarus.

(Ui) Both C. watten-ylianzrs and C. coelesyriensis have melanic colour forms. (iv) The lateral pronotal carinae do not differ markedly from those of Calliptamtis,

a point indicated by Uvarov when he erected the genus. Examination of the type of Calliptamzts mus 1. Bolivar show that it was misidenti-

fied as a member of the genus Calliptamus and should be placed in the genus Sfihodymerzu St&l.

(i) Black spots on inner side of posterior femur. Three in number (Test-figure, 2: B, E, F, G. p. 293) but subject to various degrees of reduction (Test-figure 2 : H. p. 293), or expansion and fusion (Test-figure 2 : c, D. p. 293). Contraction in size, though not with a loss of intensity, takes place in populations subject to a n-et, cold climate. Expansion and fusion occurs under the opposite extreme in climatic conditions, namely dry and hot. Thus popdations from arid semi-desert may possess femora of the type shown in Text-figure 3 : D. In the case of specimens from cold dry environments, such as the uplands of centra1 han , the size of the middle spot may remain the same but the pigment becomes ven; diffuse, often only resdting in a greyness of the pink background colour, e.g. C. coelesyriettsis Izissnricus (Text- figure 17 : T. p. 319). C. barbnrus, and C. bulucha.

Especially well developed in C . wnttenwylinnzis is the tendency for a diffuse black pigment to be laid down throughout the pink or orange background colour of the postenor femur and tibia. This occurs in the south of its range of distribution in ail the drier, more and conditions of Korth Africa.

Occasionally where the melanic femoral spots disappear the black pigment can be replaced by pink, e.g. C. coelesyriensis (Text-figure 17 : P, Q). Apart from this facies, however, boreal and montane forms, living in wetter colder environments, have crimson as background colour. This may be deep or faint, the intensity of pigmentation being greatest at the extreme of coldnesc and wetness. Boreal species, e.g. C. nbbrecinttrs, will all have this facies ; those like C. italiczcs which enter more southerly environments wiil show

a fading of the red coloration, e.g. in Crete and the Greek Islands, and in Afghanistan, C. ita2ictrs may show little or no pink background pigment.

Incorporated with the red component, it produces an orange colour. Overlaid with a diffuse black pigment it becomes greyish green in appearance. C. tenzcicercis, C. bnrbaviis, and C. barbarus palnestiizensis all show the orange form, and in addition may also show yellow-legged forms in which the red colour component has disappeared (e.g. C. barbarus palaes- tinensis is entirely yeliow-legged, except in its abrupt entry into the Lebanon ranges where it becomes red-legged). Popuiations of C. bnvbnrits in southem Greece, e.g. Mt. Parnassos and Silókastron, show orange-red legs in the males while sympatnc females are yellow-legged. Also, while in Cyprus only one specimen of C. barbarus from hIt. Troodos was orange-legged (the rest being yellow-legged), mixed populationc of orange and yellow-legged inditiduals were usual in areas such as south eastern Turkey, and northern Syria (Text-figure 22 : A. p. 330). I t is quite clear that warm, dry conditions favour the formation of orange and yellow-legged polymorphs. The latter are general in areas affected by maritime conditions, such as the extreme north of hlorocco, or the Greek archipelago, or in cold dry iipland areas which experience very hot summer conditions, e.g. the Ankara plateau in Turkey, or central Israel.

In montane or extreme boreal populations, the hind uing pigmentation may be completely lost. This is fixed as a species character in C. nbbreviatus.

(iii) Tegminal length. híontane and boreal forms tend to be chort-winged, while the warm and often semi-desert conditions of the southern Palaearctic region, or inland steppes exposed to dry continental climates, show populations in which the wings and tegmina are weii developed, and often have apices which supass the knees of the posterior femora when the tegmina are folded.

In C. barbarus in Morocco, C. bulucha brnchyptertis in the Hindu Kush, and C. italiczrs in Afghanistan, tegmina may become so reduced as to be useless for flight. C. cyrennicirs, C. sttbnlpinzrs and C. abbrezlintzrs, are al1 speciec with tegmina of medium length, the apices of which never surpass the apicec of the posterior femora. C. italiczcs, C. tiwanictis, C. bnrbartis and C. teituicercis, are aii species showing every intermediate between elongate wings and tegmina iike those of C. subnlpinirs.

While members of the " ifnlictcs " group (see p. 320) tend to show iittle polymorphism in this respect (C. wattew~ylialzzts being a notable exception), the " barbnriis " group tends to show marked general body colour poly- morphism. C. cyrenaicus, a species of the semi-desert fringe of Libya in North Afnca, show this exceptionally weii (see pronota, Text-figure 19 : B-J. p..322). The pronotum is not the only part of the exoskeleton to vary in colour, e.g. the head, Text-

respectivelJ-. 3iost specimene of C. italictu, C. nbbrevintirs, and northerly populations of other speciec, uill have pronotal types D-F. The uniform, pale coloured body colour, reprecented by pronota GJ, is found in semi-desert forms of C. itnlictrs and C. coelesyrieitsis, and many individuals from southerly populations of C. bnvbnrus and C. teniticevcis. The most estreme type of polymorph is f. iiinrginellics, repreeented by pronotum A, in which a dark, often brown body colour, is contrasted with 2 light cream ctripes on the vertes n-hich pass along the inner edge of each lateral pronotal

canna, and may or may not be continued as a light line along veins Cit. and IA of the tegmina. Ulost memberc of the " itnliczis " group show this form to come degree, but although the northerly elements of the " barbnvtrs " group are often almost completely uniform in general body markings, southerly species and populations show the " inargiltellzrs " form as a dominant and striking polymorph. The various polymorphic forms grade into one another and are not clearly demarcated.

(v) Cercus apex. Only in C. coelesyriemis coelesyriensis is the bilobed cercus apex constant. In C. coelesyriensis hissariciis the middle and lower lobec are often dis- tinct. In contrast, montane or boreal populations of C. baibnrzts, C. sitbnlpintts. C. wattenzylianacs, C. ttcraitictcs, C. bnliicha, and C. siciliae, chow a tendency for fusion of the lower pair of apical lobes, finaily producing a single lobe. Popuiations from semi-desert areas have a tendency to have clearly demarcated lobes.

When describing species, montane, boreal, or semi-desert forms may be referred to. Their characteristics can be deduced from above, if it is also remembered that boreal and montane forms are always smalier than semi-desert individuals of the same group.

There seems to be some evidence that the colour polymorphs and tegminal varia- biiity in Callipfamus may not be rigidy fixed genetically, but may be linked closely with the climatic environment. Thus the isoclines for the ratio femur length/tegminal

length inmalesof C. barbnrzts (Text-figure I I , ~ . 309) andfor the ratio femur length/head width in females of C. tentiicercis bear a striking paraiiel to the isohyets for the Middle East (Test-figure 31, p. 329). Femoral colour polymorphs also seem to be correlated with these isohyets. Thus C. temiicevcis, whose range seems confined within an area whose rainfall is less than 2 j in. per annum (cf. Test-figure g, p. 30 j, and Text-figure 21, p. 329), produces the colour variety f . niirnnti$m (pale orange tibiae) in the higher rainfall areas it enters in southern Turkey and western Syria. Comparison of C. barbavtis and C. tenziicercis leg colour polyrnorph distribution (Text-figures 27 : A, and 22 : B, p. 330) with Test-figure 21, shows that the orange femoral coloration is confined to areas with a rainfall of less than 2 j in. per annum in the former species, and less than 15 in. in the latter. The two species therefore appear to react to the enmronment differently, the orange-legged facies in C. tentiicercis being l e s tolerant to increased rainfall than that of C. bnrbnvzrs. If the wing length is plotted against femur length in females of C. tenziicercis (Test-figure j, p. 300), a regression line can be drawn (suggesting continuity of this vanant across the apparent diccon- tinuity of the leg colour variants), the values at the lower end of the graph corres- ponding to the areas of highest rainfall (10 in.-25 in. mean annual rainfaii per annum), those at the upper end to areas with low rainfall (often as small as 4.9 in.). Unfortunately the climatic data available refer to macroclimatic conditionc, so that conclusions must be tentative. I t is also ve" unlikely that the vanants described w d l correlate cimply with any one climatic factor.

DIAGXOSIS d. I . Aedeagus (Text-fig. 10: C, D. p. 307), long and decurved. Penis valves elongate and blade-like. Lateral processes of penis valves (Test-fig. 10 : D, 1. p. 307) with their pointed apices curling up and over bases of decurved penis valves to form accessory stylets. Genitalia show greatest affinity with C. abbreviatus, C . wattenwylianus; and C . iztranicus, differing from the first in having penis valves almost twice as long [cf. Test-fig. 10 : A and B. p. 307), and from last two in not having cingular valve, and lateral accessory processes of penis valves roughly same length (Test-fig. 13 : C and D. p. 311). Asis of aedeagus directed, in situ, upwards and backwards, valves enclosed by digitiform pocket in ectophallic membrane (Text-fig. 3 : S. p. 296). Cingular valve membranous, elongate, intimately attached to dorsally curled parts of lateral accessory valves (Test-fig. 10 : D, a. p.307 ). Posterior margin of dorsal ectophallic membrane plate laminar. 2. Cercus usually with al1 three apical lobes well developed and unfused (like Text-fig. I 7 :

H. p. 319). Cercus like that of many C. barbarus and C. tenuicercis. 3. Tegmina usually well developed, when folded estending beyond knees of folded posterior

femora. Occasionally abrupt shortening of tegmina occurs, tegmina then tapering in their apical 2 /3 (montane forms) .

4. General coloration dark, escept in very dr?;, hot regions, where light buff specimens occur (pronotal type G , Test-fig. 19. p. 322). Pronotum usually similar to F. Test-fig. 19. p. 322. Colour variation less than C . barbarzis ; extreme " marginellzis " variety never occurs (Text-fig. 19 : B. p. 322 ; and p. 303).

5 . Posterior femora intemally with 3 dull brown or blackish spots which are alwa)rs separate (Test-fig. 2 : E. p. 293). Median and posterior spots equal in size, often estending only a short way below upper inner carina of femur. Confusable w t h C . barbarus in montane areas, since barbariis may have similar reduction and concentration of femoral spots (see Test-fig. z : H. p. 293). Populations of dry steppe often have almost immaculate pale creani inner femoral area (like C . tziraniczis).

6. Posterior tibiae invariably some shade of dull ruby-red, black pigment sometimes giving a mauve effect. Inner side of feniora usually weakly pigmeiited with pink along and adjacent to low-er inner carina.

308.

7 . Hind wings always with some trace of pink spreading across anal fan irom wing base.

DISTRIBUTIOX. So t found in Sorth Africa or Spain south of the Pyrenees, it extends across southem and south-eastem Europe (see Text-figure 6, p. ~ o I ) , western and southern Turkey, and follows a belt of cooler conditions into central Asia (Text-figure 7, p. 302). Its populations overlap in the east with those of C. nbbreviatus. The species has the most northerly distribution of any species in Europe, extending down the Rhine following drier " Mediterranean " conditions.

DISCUSSION. Aithough capable of living in relatively cold, moist environmentc, this species cannot tolerate wet aipine conditions. It does, however, penetrate into dry alpine conditions up the R h h e vaiiey to Lake Geneva. It is the dominant species of the cold steppes of southern U.S.S.R. in the regions of the Black Sea, Cacpian Sea, and Aral Sea, but in Southern Europe takec second place to C. barbarus. Amongst hundreds of Cnlliptamus specimens from Cyprus, ody 5 were C. italicus. Unlike C. barborus it doec not thrive in estreme dune conditions, e.g. Rh6ne delta, and never reachec habitat altitudes like those of C. strbal$ifizis (p. 338). La Greca (195s) statec that in Italy the species occurs from sea leve1 up to 1,000 m. It cannot tolerate the extreme aridity enjoyed by C. bnrbnrzts and therefore does not extend so far south as this speciec. None of the subspecies claimed for this insect seem to be valid. The male phallic complex shows complete uniformity throughout the range of the cpecies, and other variations can be attributed to environmental effects (Discussion, pp. 301-306). The species shom little colour polymorphism except on the extreme southem edge of its dictribution, C. bnrbnriis displaying marked colour poly- morphism even when sympatric with uniform C. itnliciis populations.

The only specimen of Calliptnntzis in the Linnaean collection is unlabelled, and is a female of C. watte.nwylia.ntis. Dr. -4kZ Holm informs me that there are no cpecimenc of C. itnlicirs labelled by Linnaeus in the Uppsala collections. 1 am applying, there- fore, to the Intemational Commission on Zoological Xomenclature for formal authority to reject the Linnaean specimen as type of Grylliis (Lociista) italicus and to designate a neotype. ,4n application has been sent to the Secretary.

valve (Test-fig. 13 : C, a. p. 311) and lateral accessory processes of penis valves (Test-fig. 13 : C, 1, and B, 1. p. 31 1) pointed and membranous, latter curling dorsally to form a tube involving cingular and penis \dves (Test-fig. 10 : E, 1 and m). Postero-dorsal part of cingulum and rami of cingulum (Test-fig. 13 : B, g. p. 31 1) rugose and swollen, though not overhanging tip of penk (as in C . coeZesFviensis, p. 343). Dorsal ectophallic membrane plate with simple laminar posterior median edge (Test-fig. 13 ; E. p. 31 1), being only slightly thickened and rugosely sculptured in this region ; plate almost as wide as long (cf. Text-fig. 13 : F. p. 311). Rami of cingulum, viewed from a posterior aspect, converging upwards (Test-fig. 13 : B. p. 31 1).

2. Cercus variable apically (as in Test-fig. 2j : A-S). Xlways three apical lobes, though median lobe in some Korth African material may be ven; weak. 3. Tegmina often reduced in size ; Rs reduced to two branches in European forms, usually

three branched in Sorth African series. 4. Welanic forms (Sorth African), or near melanic forms (E. Pyrenees) occur. Othenvise

brownish grey with darker mottled spotting. 5 . Inner side of posterior femora typically with inner median area pink, this colour extending

on to loiver inner carina (in C . titvanictts never doing so). Three inner femoral spots (usually separate), median one largest, al1 extending to some degree below inner dorsal carina (Text-fig. 2 0 : H and E;. p. 324) (in C. ttcrarricrrs never doing so, Text-fig. 2 0 : J), In darkly pigmented material from S. Xfrica (Atlas), anterior and median spots may fuse, median spot in N. African material being larger in proportion than in European material even if unfused.

6. Posterior tibiae variable in colour, from pale flesh pink to crimson. Often paler externally than dorsally or internally, but can be uniformly pigmented. May be suffused with black giving dark mauve appearance (e.g. in menees and N. Africa).

7. Hind wings pale pink to deep crimson, pigmentation covering basa1 half to three-quarters of wing or more. Anal fan always more deeply pigmented than rest of wing. Folded wings usually not surpassing apices of folded posterior femora.

8. Tegmina coarsely spotted, though contrast not always marked, spots being merged into a rather uniform brown except at apes. In dark specimens with contrasting colouring, spots may become seriallp spaced blotches running diagonally across tegmen.

9. Diagnosis as for male. Bulky insects with tegmina which taper conspicuously in their apical 2/3, and whose apices just surpass or just fa11 short of knees of folded posterior femora (see key to 99, p. 310).

DISTRIBUTIOS. Lying in two series of populations, separated by the Straits of Gibraltar (see Text-fig. 6, p. 301), this species penetrates the High and Riiddle Atlas mountains of Jlorocco, the uplands of Algeria, Tunisia, and eastwards to northern Libya, while in Europe it occupies southern and Eastem Spain, southem Mediter- ranean France, and lower valleys of the Maritime -41~s.

DISCL-SSIOX. This species shuns either high altitude and cold humid conditions, or extreme dq-ness. Consequently although often sympatric with C. barbarus, C. italicus, and C. stdalpiiztrs, it has a more restncted distribution than the first two, and does not enter montane habitats with the last. Usually in a minority,it has been found in swarm proportions, forming up to 90% of the Calliptamus populations present. Typical localities are found on old stabilized dunes, or among untended vineyards.

C. okbaemis ic synonymized in this paper with C. wattenwylialzzts since in the morphology of the male genitalia both are identical. Both species show :

(i) tendency to formation of melanic forms, (ii) shortening of tegmina with altitude, (iii) same variations of epiphallus, femoral markings, and tegminal renation, (iv) same range of size as measured by total length and head width.

DICTRIBCTIOS. As indicated for species, excluding area occupied by subsp. pnZnesti.ite?tsis Rme. (see Text-fig. g, p. 305.). The range of the nominate siibspecies into the Canary islands mentioned by \Yillemse (1936) was based on information supplied by Ramme, who said he had collected material from there. As far as is known C. Plebeiirs is however the only species found on those islands.

DISCUSCION. This speciec cannot take the name C. ictericw (for discussion see p. 332). Although very close to C. siciliae, the species differs in the form of the penis valvec. The species is probably derived from C . barbarus, many of whose upland populations in Spain and France show similar externa1 facies.

DISCUSCIOX. A lectotype has been chosen from Ramme's syntypes, and is now returned to Berlin Museum. The small amount of material may indeed mean that these genitalia are atypical, in which case C. stcbalpilzzu must be sjnonymized with C. siciliae.

See Text-figs. 8 and 9, pp. 304 and 305 respectively. The species inhabits an area where mean annual rainfali is generally less than 25 in. It thus penetrates semi-desert environments more deeply than does C. barbarzu which is lesc xerophilous.

DIAGNOSIS 8. I . Lateral espansions of penis valves broad and auricular, hiding or partly hiding penis valves from view laterally (Test-fig. 16 : p. 317). Zygoma mith unique inflated posterior expansions (Test-fig. 16 : A, g). Dorsal ectophaiiic membrane plate with unique, erect sclerotization on median posterior edge (Text-fig. 16 : C, c).

2. Cercus with lower apical lobe usually undivided (Text-fig. 17: Fi, O. p. 319). Subsp. hissavicus however often has separate median apical lobe.

3. Tegmina with z or 3 branches of Rs. Koticeable concavity in membrane between CUI and CUZ (between CUlb and C U , ~ ) .

4. Melanic forms common. Buff tegmina peppered with darker pigment (like C. italicus in E. Iran), darker highland forms from Turkey and.Afghanistan with coarser spotting.

5. Inner side of posterior femora a pale shade of general body colour ; three separate brown spots (often faint, replaced by deep pink or absent), not extending on to upper side of femur. Lower inner carina and adjacent area pale ruby pink or greyish pink (Test-fig. 17 : P, Q, S, U. p. 319, cf. C. italiczts, Test-fig. 2).

6. Posterior tibiae some shade of pale rubv; intense on outer side. Infusions of melanic pigment gives mauve appearance.

7. Hind wings with pale ruby flush in whole of anal fan. 9. For differentiation froni C. ifnliciis see p. 314. If median femoral spot well developed, then

posterior spot subequal, Text-fig. 17 : S. p. 319 ; in C. balrdia median spot always larger. Other colour characters as for male.

Similar t o C. teniricercis but with greater estension north east- wards (as subsp. hissnricz~s), see Text-figs. 8 and 9, pp. 304, 305. Does not enter Negev desert in Israel or N. Turkey.

DICCLXCIOS. For synonymy of JIetromenrs see introduction, p. 300. Subsp. nngzcstrts, defined partly on the narrowness of fastigium verticis in the male, cannot be separated on this character (see Text-fig. 17 : A-C. p. 319 showing range of variability from one locality). I t seems to be an upland form of the species with many facies of a montane form (see p. 304).

'' Okbnensis " \vas created to differentiate long-winged forms of the species. An examination of Test-figure IS, p. 321, which show-a tegminaljfemoral relationships in Sorth African material, indicates that the species tends to produce shorter winged forms in Cyrenaica and Libya. It is interesting to note that the epiphalli of series from the Alpes JIaritimes and Libya resemble each other quite closely, intermediate forms in the Eastern Pyrenees having smalier lateral fenestrae and a larger median fenestra, the lower median fenestra often being occluded (cf. Test-figs. 14 : H and E. p. 313). In epiphaliic characters therefore, material from Libya and south-eastern France, forms two groups of populations relatively isolated from their neighbours to the west, but apparently similar to each other. The ratio of male femur length to head width shows a rise eastwards in K. Africa from Jlorocco to Libya, i.e. Ait Bou Guem- mez 2-97, hlascara 3.0S, Boghari 3.23, Slonta 3 2 3 . The Atlas mountain ratio is similar to that for populations in the Alpes Alaritimes foothills, i.e. Méounes 2-97, St. Maximin 2.91. Females show similar trends, populations in the Atlas mountains showing a ratio value of 3.18-3'39, montane forms of C. tarunicus, e.g. from Afghani- stan, Senna (1800 m.) having similar ratios, i.e. 3.29.

I . Penis valves, cingular valve, and lateral accessory processes of penis valves like thoseof C. waffenuyZinnzis (see diagnosis of that species, p. 311 and Test-fig. 13 : A. p. 320). Cingular rami diverge dorsally. Ectophallic membrane plate (Text-fig. 13 : A, c, and F. p. 311) with laminar median posterior tip, only slightly thickened and rugosely sculptured. Ectophallic plate much longer than wide.

2 . Cercus with upper and louer apical lobes almost equal in size and length (like Test-ng. 24 : J. p. 336). median apical lobe being more or less obliterated (especially in montane forms).

3. Tegmina moderately to well developed, Rs possessing 3 or 4 branches (3 brancnes in montane forms from south of species range).

Ko evidence .of estreme " marginellus " variety, pronotum usually a pale form of type D (Text-fig. 19. p. 322) mith more uniform colouring, or as type H. Tegniina with discrete brown spots, never reduced to mere peppering as in C. coelesjriensis nor developed into bold transverse bands.

5 . Dorsal spots of posterior femora never extend across upper inner carina on to inner face of femur (Text-fig. 20 : J. p. 324). Inner area pale buff except in montane forms where it may be almost completely filled with a suffuse brown pigment. Lower inner carina often pigmented with pale orange pigment, though often this is absent.

6. Posterior tibiae deeply to lightly pigmented with orange-red on their inner and ventral surfaces, often with a pale zone about 5 mm. from their prosimal end.

7. Hind wings boldly suffused with pink, this colour fading apically. Folded wings with apices surpassing knees of folded posterior fernora. Wings shorter in montane forms, so that ming apices leve1 with, or just short of, knees of folded femora, e.g. in XE. Afghanistan.

Probably this species has evolved quite recently, after geographical ceparation from C. watte.tzuyZin.tzzrs, from which it is derived. Its southernmost populations resemble C. wnttenzeylinnus very closely in all but the phallic characters. The high passes, dividing the Amu Darya river systems from the Kabul River sj-ctem to the south, offer a barrier t o its espansion into southern Xfghanistan.

DISTRIBCTIOS. Present in northern China (Test-fig. 7, p. 302) , it estends into BIanchuria, northern Mongolia, north-western Kazakhctan, and into the south- eactern edge of the Siberian plateau.

DISCUSSIOS. Closely related to C. ifalicris (see p. 292 on probable origins), it is adapted to the \vide range of climatic conditions offered by the contrast between northern China and southern Siberia. Its reported distribution in the blediterranean region mas based on confusion with C. stibalpiniis. C. nbbreviatzis siciline has now been raised to species status, while it is clear that synonymy of C. icterictis with C. rzbbveviatiis by Tarbinsky (1930) was based on misleading euidence.

Calliptamus barbarus (Costa, 1836)

Synonymy under subspecies.

DIAGSOSIS s. I. Penis valves strongly sclerotized (Text-fig. ?j : A, D and F. p. 339), thickened and rugose or rather sniootherand elongate, wider dorsally (shown in T.S., Test-fig. 10 : E, m. p. 307). and often splayed out to give a spatulate outer margin to each (Test-fig. 2 j : J. p. 339). Lateral appendices of penis valves (Test-fig. 2j : D, 1) blunt, sclerotized, but never expanded in such a \va?- as to hide penis valves when viewed from a lateral aspect (Test-fig. 13 : D, f) . Cingular valve not usually heavily sclerotized, never overlapping penis valves so as to hide them from above (Test-fig. 2 j : D. m). Dorsal ectophallic plate with simple laminar, iipcurved, slightly thickened, posterior median lobe. Epiphallus very variable.

2. Cercus ve- variable (Test-fig. 24 : III-V and \-II-XVI. p. 336) . Lobes distinct, except in montane or boreal forms, where median and lower lobes merge (Text-fig. 24 : VIII. XI. XIV). Median lobe equal to, shorter than, or longer than lower apical lobe (if shorter then like C . sub- alpinns, Test-fig. 24 : XVIII).

3. Folded tegmina with apices surpassing (4 branches of Rs), leve1 with, or not reaching knees of folded posterior femora. JIay be short and functionless for flight.

4. Colour polymorphisni (see pp. 301-306) ver?- marked, especially in south and south-east of geographical distribution. " MnvgiiLeZlrts " form produced frequently. S o melanic forms. j. Posterior femora v e n variable, inner side L-aqing from pale dull yello\\- to orange or

bright crimson, with al1 possibie iritermediate shades. Iiiner femoral spots showing al1 degrees betweeii complete separatioii to complete fusion (Test-fig. 2 : B-D and E.'-H). Boreal forms often retain only median spots (formed by reduction of solid ovoid iiiner femoral spot found in southern populations). Fusion of spots initially betmeeii anterior pair of spots. Escessive deposi- tion of melanins leads to estension of inner femoral spot across lower inner carina, \\-here mised with red pigment a violet effect is produced (really a darlz ruby-red containing no blue element).

Median inner femoral spot usually larger than other two, though in southern France often paralleling C. ifalicrrs very closely (Test-fig. 2 : E and H. p. 293). 6. Posterior tibiae pale dull yellow, to orange, to ruby-red. Black pigment produces dark

ruby colour, or dull pink. dependiiig on intensity of red component. 7. Hind wings usually strongly flushed with pink in at least basa1 half. Extreme montane

forms often have colourless wings. S. Tegmina usually coarsely spotted, but spot pattern ver?. variable. In “ nzarginellzis ”

variety wing may be uniform brown ; with pronotum t?lpe H (Text-fig. 19, p. 322) tegminal blotches almost disappear. Blotchec may va- in intensity, being sharply defined in semi-desert and yellow-legged forms (e.g. old f . pallidipes). Ksually parallels C. ifaliciis very closely where their ranges cross. Spot positionc not fised in relation to wing veins ; may be orientated at random or in roughly parallel bands across tegmen.

9. Very often difficult to separate from sympatric C. italiczrs, C. siibalpinirs, and C . uialten- vyZiaizirs (see p. 318, 9 diagnosis for italicus). Tegmina are not as abruptly tapered in their apical 2 /3 as those of szrbdpinrrs and wnfieitw]tlialzzrs in such localities. Yellow or orange-legged females possessing a single large inner femoral spot fiiling inner inter-carinal area can oniy belong to C. barbarus or C . tenuicercis. If orange-legged, then presence of orange colouring just posterior to black inter-carinai spot is diagnostic of C. barbarus. Female characters other than colour very uniform throughout genus. Maie material necessary for accurate determination.

~IEASCREJIENTS. See under subspecies.

DICTRIBUTIOS. \Vide geographicai range (Text-fig. 23, p. 333) ; occupying more southerly areas than C. italiccus (see Text-fig. 6, p. 301). Does not estend as far north as that species, e.g. in Massif Central of France it only survives in sheltered hoiiows and vdeys, and does not reach northern edge of the massif. In Korth Africa aititudes of 2,ooometresare attained, in Afghanistanmaterial beingcollected from 2,300metres. In southem Europe specimens seldom found above 500 metres (probably too wet). Occupies almost every dry Mediterranean or semi-desert region and steppe of the Palaearctic, including the islands of the Mediterranean.

~ L ~ T E R I A L ESAMISED. See under subspecies. DICCVCSIOS. Sow included in C. barbarus bnrbarzrs are subspecies and species

defined principally on colour characters, e.g. yellow or orange-legged forms include Cnloptesrtis discoidnlis, C. bnrbnrus var. pnllidipes, C. barbnriis i~tonspelliettsis, C. barbariis pallidipes f. snlilzn, C. cephalotes, Caloptemis itnlictis var. deserticola (last two identical) ; ruby-legged forms C. barbarus miniwms, C. barbnriis pnrvzis (both smaii boreal forms). Throughout the entire range of distribution the male genitalia offer uniform facies, except in Israel (see subsp. palaesti.nensis, Test-fig. 25 : J. p. 339). Elsewhere penis valve variation as a whole does not exceed that for any one locality. The folloning is a brief résumé of colour variation of this species throughout its range :

(i) ,Spain and Portugal. Ruby-legged in C. and S. Cpain, and Portugal (pale pink) : femoral spots bold and separate ; te,minal apices leve1 n-ith or surpassing knees of posterior femora. Pale orange-legged in S. and E. Cpain : single black inner femoral spot. IWng length as in firct form. Probably narrow zone of intermediates.

(ii) France. Ríassif Central and Ile d’Oleron series, crnall sized ; ruby-legged with separate inner femoral spots. Provence series similar ; “ ))inrginelltis ” form commoner near coast ; tegmina fa11 short of knees of posterior femora in series above 400 metres. Coastal forms have median femoral spot enlarged ; upland or

boreal forms spots subequal. Delta and dune populations with fused femoral spots (former subcp. monspelliensis).

(iii) Italy. Xorth-south cline. In north like France. Coastal forms tend to have te,smina surpassing knees of folded posterior femora, but in C. Italy may vary in one locality from falling short to surpassing knees of posterior femora. In S. Italy long-winged form predominates, except at higher altitudes, e.g. ZOO-jOO m. near Cocenza, where al1 have tegminal apices falling short of knees of posterior femora. S. Italy all forms orange-legged (gradual cline from N. Italy) ; middle inner femoral spot enlarges (however reversed at high altitudes, e.g. Potenza 850 m., where red- legged with sub-equal spots).

(iv) Sardinia, Mallorca, Lipari 1s. Orange-legged. Tegminal apicec tend to surpass knees of posterior femora (except in Sardinia).

(v) Greece. Sorth-south cline from red to orange to yellow-legged forms (i.e. further east and drier). NE. Greece series orange-legged ; spots fused or separate ; like W. Turkey. From about Trikkala southwards, wings longer and legs paler orange (see sexual polymorphism, p. 303). Middle spot enlarges. Pelópormisos series all yellow-legged, folded tegminal apices surpassing knees of postenor femora (reversal of trends on Mt. Kelmos, grey-ruby legged at goo-r,ooo m.). Nauplion series show males ranging from orange-legged to yellow-legged. In S. Greece forms with single fused femoral spot predominate.

(vi) Crete, Sporádhes, Cyprus. In Cyprus yellow-legged (escept llt. Troodos, see p. 303) ; single fused inner femoral spot. In both other islands bright orange- legged series ; dark brown " inargiirellzis '' forms ; in Crete many specimens show separate inner femoral spots.

(vii) Turkey. Four main colour types which intergrade : (n) SmaU ruby-legged form ; separate femoral spots, median largest : range

SIY. Turkey and al1 S. Turke- (identical with C. France, Kashmir, and SE. Greece material).

(b) Small yellow-legged ; separate to completely fused femoral spots. C. Turkey (Ankara-.4masya plateau) .

(c) Orange-red legged forms ; larger size than (a) or ( b ) . Very polymorphic (like Crete and Sporádhes material). -3bove 3000 ft. inner femoral spots separate (like (a)). iJ’. and SIY. Turkey.

(d) Large orange-legged form ; yeliow-legged forms present nith al1 grades to orange form. Inner femoral spots always a fused block. Wing apices exceed kneec of posterior femora. SE. Turkey into Syria.

The remaining populations of C. barbarzis can be split into 4 clines : (o) North Africa. Extreme north of Morocco has yellow-legged populations (inner

femoral spots separate to single solid marking.) Transition over narrow zone to orange-legged form ; tegminal apices leve1 with, or surpass, knees of folded femora. I n eastem Algena, Tunisia and Libya, single black inner femoral spot extends below lower inner carina, and darkens orange-red pigment below. I n upland areas, e.g. Chrea, nr. Blida (13,oo m.), replaced by smaller red-legged form vith separate inner femoral spots, this montane form reaching extreme of brachq-pterism in Atlas mountains.

(b) Bulgarian-Caspian cline. Gradual change eastwards from smali red-legged, short-winged form, to a longer-winged, orange-legged form, whose inner femoral spots are completely fused. Transition complete in region of Caspian Sea. Popula- tionc in Kazakhctan and Tien Shan very uniform, inseparable from C. b. deserticola.

(c) Kazakhstan-IYest Pakistan. Almost completely uniform ; orange-legged with fused inner femoral spots. South of high passes of Hindu Iíush, black area extends below lower inner carina [as in N. African material above), producing blackish ruby-red colour. Thus in contrast, material from Lake Balkash region has only orange on lower inner femoral area. I J h g length decreases with altitude up Amu D a n a river system, eventually tegminal apices in ail specimens falling short of knees of folded femora. If in a lowland population, tegminal length varies so that in some, tegminal apices surpass knees of posterior femora, while in others they fall short of knees of posterior femora : long winged type is always found among larger insects. East of Chitrai, Iíashmir populations are red-legged (cf. X. Turkey).

(d) Iranian- Jordan rift valley cline. Orange-legged, semi-desert form found throughout Iran (south of Elburz mountains), Iraq, and Cyria. Black area developed masimally in S. Iraq and SW. Iran. I n Jordan orange-legged form dominant on east side of Jordan valley westwards forrning transition to yellon--1egged members of nominate subspecies and finally yeilow-legged subsp. pnlnestinensis (Text-fig. g, p. 303). Orange-legged form in Segev desert, and at Iskerderim and Yerevan (Turkcy) has transitional and yellow-legged forms sympatric with it.

Yellow-legged C. temiicercis and C. bavbnviis are often difficult to separate (refer to Test-fig. 3 2 : -4 and B, p. 330). In Turkey both sexes of C. ieitiricercis have separate inner femoral spots, \\-hile C. bnvbnrus often chows fusion (best therefore separated

on male genitalia, see key, p. 306, and Text-figs. I j and 25). In Syria yelloív-legged C. barbarzis has solid inner femoral spot and te,gminal apices which exceed tips of folded posterior femora. Sympatric C. tesiziicercis has separate to partly fused femoral spots, and tegminal apices which are leve1 with knees of posterior femora. In Israel both species have yellow-legged forms with solid inner marking, t u t this form of C . tenuicercis only sjmpatric with orange-legged forms (for separation see p. 328, 9 diagnosis).

The type of C. srzontanzis has been found to have genitalia identical with C. barbarus barbarus, C. ictericzis is synonymized with C. barbarus, as the descnption of the female type (type lost) which came from Cadiz, fitc known orange and yellow legged C. barbarus material from S. Spain. U'nfortunately the specimen was already badly broken when described, and probably faded, the description leading to the report of this species from Korth Africa and elsewhere. C. xattemuylianiis has been the species most often given this name (e.g. Brunner, 1882 ; Finot, 1SS3). C. siibalpinus was also formerly called " ictericrcs ". Grassé SC Hollande (1945) introduced C. ictericzcs chopardi to embrace pink-winged forms of C. subalpinzts, unfortunately choosjng a ruby-legged boreal form of C. barbarus as type. Synonymy of C. ictericzis tvith C. abbreviatzis (see discussion p. 327 under C. abbreviatzrs), led Grassé & Hollande to give C. icterictrs chopnrdi a very \vide range in southern Europe, the geographical range of C. abbreviatzis being added as well. C . barbarus ntinintzis and C. barbarus parvzts are small boreal forms of the nominate subspecies, C. barbarus stanzis being a montane form of C. barbarus cephalotes (for discussion of montane forms, see p. 302). Calopteno+sis pztnctata has genitalia identical with nominate subspecies ; Caloptenzcs discoidalis is a female type (not male as stated in description) of C. barbarlis barbarus (yellow-legged form, but outside geographical range of subsp. pakzestinensis).

C. palaestineitsis survives as a subspecies of C. barbarlis with unique genitalia (Text- fig. zj : J. p. 339). C. palaestiitensis erythrocrzernis is a montane form of it which falls as a sj-nonym.

Loss of the type of C. barbariis has required desi,pation of a neotype ; this has been chosen from material corresponding to the original description and from near the type localitj- in Italy.

KEY TO SUBSPECIES

1. Penis valves elongate, rather thinly sclerotized, with widely divergent dorso-laterally splayed flanges (Test-fig. 25 : J, m. p. 339). Cercus in high montane forms with tendency to weak differentiation of median and lower lobes. Tips of folded tegmina may just surpass knees of folded posterior femora. Posterior tibia1 colour and inner femoral flush, pale yellow to bright red. Inner femoral spots fused or discrete

barbarus paíaestinensis Ramme (p. 33 j) (LEBASOS RAXGES : \vEST O F DEAD SEA-JORDAN VALLEY, generally iii area with

mean annual rainfall 28 in. (700 mm.) or more). -. Penis valves blunt, rather strongly sclerotized. parallel ; slightly spla-ed on dorso-

lateral edges (Test-fig. zj : B. p. 339). Cercus usually with separate lower apical lobes (fused in montane forms). Tips of folded tegmina not reaching, to surpassing, knees of folded posterior femora. Posterior femora dull pale yellow, orange or red internally. Black pigment belom lower inner carina may cause orange-red pigment to assume niauve appearance . . barbarus barbarus (Costa) (p. 333)
