 uate, tegminal sinus small, shallow, lower one broadly concave, the lobe 

 between them short, broadly rounded. Tegmins almost smooth. Outer

Hastings, Fla., Sept. 30 (Horse] ; Mobile and Delchainps, Ala. 

 (Loding]. A southern species, originally described from Georgia 



and ranging from Newbern, 

 N. Car., to southern Florida 

 and Mobile, Ala. In Florida 

 it has been recorded from De 

 Fnniak Springs, Jacksonville, 

 Gainesville, Port Orange, Hast- 

 ings, Homestead and Detroit, 

 April October. At the last 

 -> two localities R. & H. found it 

 "in the low undergrowth of 



pine woods in not the usual very wet situations," while at New- 

 bern, X. Car., it was taken by them "in a wet meadow in company 

 with Clinocephalus c~l<'<i<nix and Mclunoplux dccorus." It seems 

 to be widely scattered and scarce throughout its range, not over 

 half a dozen specimens being recorded from any one locality, ex- 

 cept Homerville, Ga., and Hastings, Fla., where it was found in 

 some numbers in "low, blackish, water-soaked ground covered with 

 low bog plants (sun-dews, pitcher plants, etc.) in pine woods." 



II. TETTIGIDEA Scudder, 1862, 470. (Gr., "grasshopper.") 



Species of robust form, having the head larger and face less 

 oblique than in preceding genera; vertex equal to or much exceed- 

 ing the width of one of the eyes, carinate at middle, the front bor- 

 der more or less rounded, sides concave ; frontal costa strongly 

 advanced in front of eyes, continuous with median carina of ver- 

 tex, in front narrowly snlcate; antenna^ stout, '2'2 jointed; prouo- 

 tnm with front dorsal margin either rounded, angulate, acute or 

 cuspidate, more or less projected forward onto the head; posterior 

 process either attenuate and passing tips of hind femora or acute 

 and shorter; dorsal surface finely granulate and usually more or 

 less rugose lengthwise, its median carina distinct but not promi- 

 nent; lower posterior angle of lateral lobes much smaller than in
