SUBFAMILY VII. TRIGOXIDIIX/E. 733 



March 15 16." (Hcbard.) A large series may perhaps show 

 that this is but a color form of i>i(Iic<iri<i due to its peculiar 

 habitat. 



345. AXAXIPIIA IMITATOR (Saussure), 1878, 487. 



Elongate-oblong. Dull smoky brown; sides of body with a solid dark 

 brown stripe as described in key; lower face with a wide, V-shaped choc- 

 olate-brown mark, often also a narrow reddish-brown oblong one between 

 the antennse; occiput and pronotum with dusky blotches. Pronotum dis- 

 tinctly widening from apex to base, the latter in male nearly twice the 

 width of former; tegmina surpassing abdomen 2 3 mm., exceeded by 

 wings 4 5 mm. in both sexes. Hind femora and tegmina reaching tip of 

 ovipositor in female. Basal joint of hind tarsi more than twice the length 

 of the other two united. Ovipositor stout, feebly curved, very acute. 

 Length of body, $, 5.36.2, $, 4.7 5.4; of tegmina, $, 55.4, 5, 4.4 

 4.7; of wings, $, 7.7 8. G, $, 7.47.8; of hind femora, $ and 9, 4.35; 

 of ovipositor, 2 2.5 mm. (Fig. 245, &. e.) 



Miami, Fla., March 15 16 (Hebard.) A Cuban species taken 

 in numbers by Hebard (1915b), "on the narrow border of sloping 

 ground between the jungle of BrickelFs Hammock and the red 

 mangrove swamp. There, on the ground among a litter of the 

 dried leaves of the species of Avild coffee, Psi/cliotria un<l<it<t Jacq., 

 individuals were found jumping and flying nimbly about. They 

 never flew more than a foot or two from the ground, in flight 

 suggesting numerous species of small tropical roaches. At 11 

 A. M. on a cloudy day with temperature 70, the few specimens 

 heard stridulating emitted a trilling note, not loud but penetrat- 

 ing, the trills lasting one to two seconds, with the normal interval 

 between a little less than one second. This song was not nearly as 

 tinkling as that of Cyrtoj-iitltu <iudl<i<-lii, but still pleasant to 

 the ear." 



II. FALCICULA Kehn, 1903f, 258. (Gr., "sickle" + "little.") 

 Very small bush crickets closely allied to Ana.rl^lm. but hav- 

 ing the terminal joint of palpi triangular with apex squarely 

 truncate; stridulating organ of male much smaller, confined to 

 the basal fourth of the tegmen, the stridulating vein short, trans- 

 verse; cross veiulets of female tegmen wanting; hind femora very 

 short and stout; subgenital plate of male conical, scoop-shaped; 

 cerci elongate, tapering, reaching the tips of hind femora. One 

 species is known. 

 34C. FALCICULA HEBARDI Rehn, 1903f, 258. Hebard's Bush Cricket. 



Oblong, compact, robust. Uniform pale yellowish-brown; pronotum 

 often with a very narrow pale median line. Antenna 1 about twice the length 

 of body; pronctum nearly one-half wider than long, both it and head with 

 numerous stout-erect bristles; tegmina slightly surpassing abdomen, male,
