Extract

Whilst we were examining a large number of Acridoidea in connection with current morphological studies, an interesting specimen of Eyprepocnemis plorans ornatipes (Walker) came to our notice. The specimen, a female with three compound eyes, was discovered among many normal examples of the same species kindly provided for study from stock reared under artificial conditions at the Anti-Locust Research Centre, London, England.
