[There is no introduction to Odonata in Fedchenko’ s work, but there
exists an article in German (giving the localities of the species, and a
full description of Sympycna paedisca, Eversm.), entitled “ Verzeichnis
d e r v o n Fedtschenko in Turkistan gesammelten Odonaten,” bearbeitet
von Prof. Friedr. Brauer, in the Verhandlungen der kaiserlich-
königlichen zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft m Wien. Jahrgang

ORTHOPTERA.
B y H . D e S a u s s u r e .
T h e collection of Orthoptera made by Fedchenko in Turkistan is so
far complete that it enables us to give a pretty clear idea of the character
of the Orthopterous fauna of these hitherto little investigated regions.
The mingling therein of European species with Indian forms is surprising,
as also the comparatively small number of species, the distribution of
which is limited to Turkistan and the neighbouring countries.
The species most common in Western and Central Europe are through
Russia and the Cis-Caucasian steppe distributed as far as Turkistan,
where they apparently attain their extreme limit towards the
east, and constitute the chief and fundamental element of the local
fauna of Orthoptera.
Other species, which appear only in South Russia, and extend as far
as Turkistan (Fischeria brachyptera, etc.), apparently have the steppe
as the centre of their distribution ; from the Caspian Sea, as from a
centre, these forms are distributed over European Russia, Siberia,
Turkistan and Asia Minor.
There are much fewer Indian than European species in the Turkistan
fauna, which may be explained by the difference in climate of India
and Turkistan. The non-European species found in Turkistan are
those exclusively belonging to S. Asia (.Hierodula), which have either
only reached Turkistan, or are distributed further to the West—to the
Caucasus, and Asia Minor.
With these South-Asiatic species others from more distant countries,
particularly from Africa, are mingled. Such forms, for instance,
as Mantis sacra and the genus Oxythespis, proper to Senegal,
extending to Turkistan probably through Central and West Africa and
Arabia, are especially remarkable.
The Orthopterous fauna of Turkistan presents a very strange resemblance
to the European fauna ; it is particularly like the fauna of South
Russia, and contains a large quantity of West-European species. It is
distinguished not so much by forms exclusively peculiar to it, as by the
concurrence of species which are not found together in other countries.
This fauna, together with that of the Caspian, South-Siberian and Aral
steppes, and probably that of Asia Minor, might be called the “ fauna
of the Asiatic steppes.”
The species treated of below by me were chiefly collected by
Fedchenko. Further, I have included the material in my possession
relative to Turkistan Orthoptera, collected by Colonel Kushakevitch,
and forwarded to me by Mr. Moser. In the list given by me are also
included the species described by various authors from the countries
lying near Turkistan, and which it is necessary to regard as belonging
to the same fauna.
