with about the same number of much smaller subequal teeth; female with 

 a number of small, inconspicuous spinules on each carina. Hind tibiae 

 slightly longer than femora, the basal third in adult males distinctly ar- 

 cuate or bowed. Male supra-anal plate with basal portion corneous, widely 

 forked, the interval between the forks membranous, the apex truncate; 

 subgenital plate wide, deeply cleft, the interval membranous, the outer 

 angle of each lobe thickened, broadly rounded, projected obliquely outward 

 (PI. VI, 6.) Ovipositor two-thirds as long as hind femora, gently tapering, 

 the tips of outer valves slightly upturned; inner valves armed as in key 

 and PI. VII, ;', the terminal hook decurved. Length of body, $ , 14 15.5,

Frequent throughout southern Indiana, June 28 Sept. 7; 

 not as vet taken, though doubtless occurs in the northern coun- 

 ties. It is found beneath logs and stones in both dry and moist 

 situations. The known range of this stone cricket is northern, 

 extending from Nova Scotia and New England west to Minnesota 

 and Colorado and south to Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas. 

 Some of the southern and western records are, however, doubtful. 



Piers (1918, 326) calls it "an ungainly insect with a cringing 

 attitude," and records specimens taken by Gooderham at Truro 

 and Grauville Ferry, N. S. in August. Walker found it in Quebec 

 associated with terrestris under flat stones ^it the bottom of a 

 wooded hill and also at Niagara Glen, Out. Morse (1919a) calls 

 it "Our commonest camel-cricket, probably found throughout New 

 England; gregarious under stones, logs and in cellars." Lugger 

 says it is the most abundant species in Minnesota and Bruner re- 

 ports it as occurring rather commonly in eastern and middle 

 Nebraska. The most definite southeastern record which can be 

 found is that of Smith (1910, 180) from Morris Plains and Ft- 

 Lee, N. Jer. 



The C. hitfln-icnla and C. Ijicolor Scudder (1894, 37, 72) are in 

 my opinion synonyms of imtcitlatux. The former is represented in 

 the Cambridge collection by only two females. At Lexington, 

 Ky., there are however a nymph and two adult males and two fe- 

 ir.ales labelled by Scudder as latcbricolu. The males have the 

 concave ninth dorsal and bowed hind tibiae of inacuJatus. The 

 sabgenital differs slightly in the form of the apical notch, it being- 

 more U-shaped and with a shorter intervening membrane than in 

 typical maciilatits. Two or three of the spines of the outer carina^
