ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF OECANTHINAE (ORTHOPTERA : GRYLLIDAE) OF THE WORLD
THOMASJ. WALKER Department of Entomology, University of Florida, Gainesville
The most recent listing of the Oecanthinae of the world is in Volume 2 of Kirby's Syno.nymic Catalogtie of Orthopte~a(1906, p. 72-76). Since then the number of described species has doubled and studies of the spe- cies in Africa (Chopard 1932), the United States (T. Walker 1962a, 1963), and Latin America (T. Walker 1967) have revealed new synonymies. The list below sumniarizes present knowledge of oecanthine taxonomy, nornen- clature, and geographic distribution. Keys to the species of Oecanthinae in specific areas are in the studies listed above and in Tarbinsky (1932, USSR), Chopard (1936, Ceylon), and Chopard (1951, Australia). Little has been published on the biology of Oecanthinae with the exception of Oecaizthlts pellzlcens of Europe (Chopard 1938, M.-C. Busnel 1954, M.-C. and R.-G. Busnel 1954) and various U. S. species (Fulton 1915, 1925, 1926a, 1926b; T. Walker 1957, 1962a, 196213, 1963). The following conventions are used in the checkl~st: After the word Type, a single asterisk ( ) means that the condition and place of deposit of the type specimen were confirmed by correspondence. A double asterisk (' ') means that I have examined the type specimen. Data concerning the present status of the type specimen are separated by a semi-colon from data on the place and date of collection and the collector. Abbreviations are used for the following museums: Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ANSP) ; British Nuseum (Nat. Hist.), Lon- don, England (BM); Universitetets Zoologiske Museum, Copenhagen, Den- mark (Copenhngen) ; Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Genhve, Switzerland (Gmzi.ce) ; Museum Nattonal d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (Paris) ; Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden (Stocliholnz) ; Universi- ty of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan (UMMZ); United States National hlluseum, Washington, D. C. (IISNM). Immediately after each synonym and its reference, a reference to sub- stantiate the synonymy is given.

Furthermore, I am indebted to the many 274 TIrc Flo~idnEi~tomologixt Vol. 49, No. 3 curators who furnished detailed informati011 about the oecanthine type- in their museums. SIJAIMARY The type-locality, identity and location of the type-specimen, and dis- tribution are given for the 47 species of Oecrciithirs, 6 of Snbeu, and I1 of .Veo.r.abecc. Synonyins and subspecies are listed, and unresolved nonien- clatural problems are noted. Eleven incorrectly used names and nomina dubia are treated.
