The system of Tournefort was for a long time adopted on the continent, but was ultimately displaced by that of Carl von Linne, or Linnaeus (q.v.; 1707-1778).
The cockroaches, grasshoppers, crickets and other insects that are included in this order were first placed by C. Linne (1735) among the Coleoptera (beetles), and were later removed by him to the Hemiptera (bugs, &c.).
Erichson and other writers added to the Orthoptera a number of families which Linne had included in his order Neuroptera.
In science Linnaeus, or Karl von Linne (1707-1778), was the name of greatest genius in the whole century; but he wrote almost entirely in Latin.
The spot which has most frequently exhibited changes in appearance is near the centre of the visible disk, marked on Beer and Madler's map as Linne.
