626 FAMILY VII. TETTIGONIIM3. THE CAMEL CRICKETS. 



Staten Island, N. Y., July August. Davis states (Ms.) that 

 he has taken specimens "on numerous occasions in the forested 

 parts of Staten Island by baiting tin cans with molasses and 

 fusel oil-" 



Named in honor of W. T. Davis, of New Brighton, Staten Is- 

 hind, N. Y., whose enthusiasm as a naturalist and generosity as a 

 scientist are highly appreciated by all his co-workers. 

 296. CEUTHOPHILUS EEHEBI sp. nov. Rehn & Hebard's Camel Cricket. 



Size medium; form compact, robust. Ground color above pale to dark 

 reddish-brown blotched with fuscous, the blotches varying in intensity, 

 usually most distinct on abdomen, where they are broken by numerous 

 small rounded dull yellow spots; face, fore and middle legs and under sur- 

 face a nearly uniform dull yellow; hind femora with the usual narrow ob- 

 lique dusky stripes; tips of spines and teeth of hind tibiae brown. Vertex 

 ending in a blunt convex cone. Fore femora scarcely one-sixth longer than 

 pronotum, the inner lower carina with two subapical spines; middle femora 

 slightly longer, more slender, both carinas with three slender spines. Hind 

 femora longer than body, of moderate width, gradually tapering, the upper 

 and outer apical half feebly roughened with very minute appressed spines; 

 lower sulcus deep, narrow, its outer carina in male with 9 14 unequal, ir- 

 regularly spaced teeth, the three middle ones usually the longer; inner 

 carina with fewer, shorter teeth; outer carina in female with three or four, 

 inner, with eight or more very short, sharp teeth. Hind tibise distinctly 

 longer than femora, their marginal spines and teeth relatively short and 

 stout; inner median spur one-third longer than outer median one, slightly 

 shorter than metatarsus; terminal spurs of hind tarsus less than half the 

 length of those of C. spinosus. Ninth dorsal of male very short, feebly pro- 

 jecting, its apex rounded (PI. VII, e) ; supra-anal plate tongue-shaped, 

 produced backward between the bases of the cerci, its apex subtruncate 

 and with a slight median notch (PI. VI, ..) Subgenital cordiform, deeply 

 cleft, its lobes each swollen at middle, feebly overlapping within, their tips 

 subangulate but not produced (PI. VI, d.) Ovipositor strongly tapering, 

 the apex of outer valves obliquely truncate, ending in a sharp spine; inner 

 valves with but three slender, irregularly spaced teeth; terminal hook very 

 slender, rather strongly decurved (PI. VII, .) Length of body, $ and 9, 

 14.516.5; of fore femora, 7; of hind femora, $, 1617, $, 14 15; of 

 hind tibiae, $, 17 18, $, 15 16; of ovipositor, 11 12 mm. 



Yaphank and Staten Island, N. Y. (Davis.) This is the species 

 treated by R. & H. (1916, 274) as C. spinosus Scudd. Its known 

 range extends from New York, southwest to Atlanta, Ga. and west 

 to Lexington, Ky. Davis has trapped numerous specimens in 

 molasses jars at various points. I have named it in honor of 

 E. & H., that pair of enthusiastic entomologists who, by their 

 extended field work and numerous writings, have done so much 

 to put the science of Orthopterology on a par with that of other 

 orders of insects-
