specimens inkeu near Dunedin being a uniform pitchy black, while 

 several of them have a large white saddle-shaped blotch across 

 1 lie middle of the pronotum. Others are grayish-white with a pair 

 of velvety black spots in front of humeral angles and another 

 larger pair behind them. That the intermediate form, hitherto 

 known as <in-mitns, has a similar love for moist surroundings is 

 shown by K. & H., who state that in North Carolina and Georgia 

 "it was widelv distributed and sometimes abundant in the under-

growth of the long-leaf pine woods, particularly where the ground 

 is low. sandy and water-soaked. It has also been found abundant 

 in low spois covered with short green grasses in the midst of saw 

 palmetlo tlals."

 Crested Grouse Locust. 



This northern form or race differs from crintaiiis in having the ver 

 projecting a shorter distance in front of eyes, its median carina le;s promi- 

 nent and when viewed from the side, the angular excavation of the frontal 

 costa above* the bases of the antennse more shallow. Antennae one-fourth 

 shorter than in r/-/'.s7///v; eyes slightly more prominent. Pronotum more 

 rugose-scabrous and with front margin less projecting over the head. 

 Length of body, $, 8.5; of pronotum, 8; of hind femora, 5 G.ii mm. 



A comparison of Hancock's type of A . Nimiifrnns taken at St. 

 Anthony 1'ark, Minn., and a cotype of N. l)orr<ili$ E. ?>f. Walker 

 (1009, ITo) shows them to be the same as surmised by Hancock 

 i 1 ( .)18). the only evident difference being the slightly wider vertex 

 of the former. Y. ho real is was described from two females taken 

 on the shore of Diamond Lake, Temagami hisirict, Out., Sept. 7, 

 11HIS. and has not been recorded elsewhere. They were found in 

 company with Acri/diiun <t<-<i<li<-i<in (Scudder), on a strip of dry. 

 sandy soil along Hie border of a sphagnum bog, and separated 

 from the hike proper by a narrow ridge a few feet in height cov- 

 ered with scrub pine and blueberries. Outside of Minnesota the 

 only record for A. n'uiiiifrons under that name is by Smith (1010, 

 ITS) from Lakehurst. X. J. 



In addition to yontotettir crixhilux Scudder and its races, de-

 However, the exact locality at which they were taken is a matter
