324 OKTHOPTERA. 



Hab. North America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Saskatchewan to 

 the Eio Grande 4 . — Mexico, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Atoyac, Vera Cruz (coll. L. Bruner). 



This insect, along with M. atlanis and M. bivittatus, enjoys the most extended 

 distribution of all the species of the genus. It has been the most frequently 

 mentioned in entomological literature, and has a very extended synonymy, which 

 may be found in Scudder's paper 4 cited above.

Hab. North America, Gulf coast of Texas 1 , extreme South-western Texas (coll. 

 L. Bruner). 



While no records or specimens of this insect are at hand from Mexican territory, it 

 most assuredly occurs across the Rio Grande in that country.

Hab. North America, Los Angeles and San Diego, California 2 (coll, L. Bruner) 

 Lower California, San Jose del Cabo. — Mexico, Tepic, Jalisco (colls. L. Bruner and 

 Calif. Acad. Nat, Sci.).

 Caloptenus cinereus, Riley, in Kingsley's Stand. Nat. Hist. ii. p. 195 (1884) 3 . 



Hab. North America, numerous localities between the 49th degree of latitude and 

 the Mexican boundary 2 (coll. L. Bruner). 



Since this insect is distributed over the Rocky Mountain region wherever " sage- 

 brush " grows, it most certainly extends along the tablelands into Northern Mexico. 



38. Melanoplus complanatipes, Scudd. 



Melanoplus complanatipes, Scudd. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xx. p. 298, t. 19. fig. 10 (1897) l .

Melanoplus impiger, Scudd. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xx. p, 306, t. 20. figg. 7, 8 (1897) l . 



Hab. North America, Gulf Coast and many other Texas localities 1 (coll. L. Bruner). 



Since this insect occurs in extreme Southern Texas on the Rio Grande, it must be 

 also present in the adjacent Mexican territory.
