• Two wing forms, macropterous and micropterous, occur in the cricket Pteronemobius taprobanensis WALKER. They differ from one another in certain physiological traits. The micropterous form began to lay eggs much earlier than the macropterous and the latter deposited most of their eggs after dealation. If, however, the hind wings of the macropterous form was artificially removed immediately after emergence, the deposition of eggs was accelerated. The total number of eggs produced was significantly greater in the micropterous form than in the macropterous. These differences were related to the different rates of ovarian development in virgin females of the different forms, so that the maturation of ovaries was affected by the development and existence of hind wings but not by copulation. The macropterous adults survived in starvation significantly longer than the micropterous ones.
