Frequent throughout Indiana, May 5 Aug. 22. Hibernates 

 in the nymph stage beneath half buried logs and other debris, the 

 males reaching maturity about May 1st, when they are often 

 gregarious beneath loose bark and under chunks and rubbish in 

 open woods. The females mature a few weeks later, and in In- 

 diana are found in July with ootheca protruding. Ranges from 

 Maine to Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas, south to North Caro- 

 lina, Kentucky and Alabama. Frequents the borders of open 

 woods and cultivated fields, being less of a forest-loving species 

 than uhleriana. The males are frequently taken at light, but 

 the females probably range but a short distance from their orig- 

 inal hatching place. 



In "The Orthoptera of Indiana" this species was placed as a 

 synonym of uhleriana, the females of that species being then un- 

 known as such. /. borealis Brunner (18B5, 133) is the male of 

 rirginica, he having described both sexes in the same work as dis- 

 tinct species of different genera. His type of virginica was from 

 Draper's Valley, Va., and that of Itorcalis from "Amerique du 

 Nord."

Male. Size medium, form rather slender. Uniform pale brownish-yel- 

 low, the pronotum and legs sometimes darker; cerci usually dark brown. 

 Pronotum subelliptical, widest slightly behind the middle, the oblique im- 

 pressions of disc weakly defined, and apical angles more broadly rounded 

 than the hind ones. Tegmina slightly narrower than in uhleriana. Cerci 

 slender, 11-jointed, none of the segments with inner apical angles pro- 

 longed. Styles slender, awl-shaped, the right one slightly the stouter and 

 borne in a cup-shaped elevation or knob placed just beneath the apical 

 margin of subgenital plate. Female Larger than in uhleriana. Head and 

 pronotum usually pale reddish-brown and apical halves of abdominal seg- 

 ments darker brown; tegmina reddish-brown, the sides paler; legs and 

 under surface brownish-yellow. Tegmina and wings as in virginica, but
