folk and Tappahannoek, Ya., tlie single male from the latter place 

 having been taken in company "with numerous examples of fur- 

 catn in an . I n<1r(>/>(></on thicket close to the margins of woods." 

 He has also taken both it and furrata at Macon, Ga., and states 

 that some of the specimens "were intermediates, possibly hybrids." 



III. SYMMETKOPLEURA Brunner, 1878, 245. (Gr., "equal" -4- 



"side.") 



Slender-bodied species of medium size resembling Scudderia 

 but having the fastigium between the eyes, silicate and very nar- 

 row ; eyes oblong-oval ; disk of pronotum flat, two-thirds longer 

 than wide, its sides just visibly divergent toward base, lateral 

 carina? obtuse, front margin truncate, hind one broadly rounded; 

 lateral lobes perpendicular, longer than deep, their hind margin 

 obliquely broadly rounded into the lower one; tegmina propor- 

 tionally shorter than in &cnd<lcri(i, their texture coarser, the 

 reticulation much finer and more close, without the prominent 

 cross veins of tfenddcria, the costal field visibly narrowing from 

 middle to apex. Male with last dorsal segment not prolonged 

 into a decurved spine; supra-anal plate triangular, deflexed be- 

 tween the cerci, the latter slender, tapering, surpassing the short, 

 broad subgenital plate, their tips incurved. To this genus Kirby 

 (1006, 446) accredits five species, two from Africa, two from 

 South America, the other from Carolina. 



217. SYMMETROPLEURA MODESTA Brunner, 1878, 246. Modest Bush Cricket. 

 Pale green, fading in great part to pale clay-yellow; pronotuni often 

 tinged with reddish-brown, especially along the lateral carina?, spines of 

 tibiae and femora white. Tegmina four times longer than their greatest 

 width, the anal or sutural margin behind the flattened dorsal field 

 straight. Ovipositor one-third longer than pronotum, abruptly upcurved 

 near base, the upturned portion feebly tapering, apex rounded, the mar- 

 gins of apical half crenulate-dentate. Other structural characters as given 

 above. Length of body, $, 15 16, 9, 18 20; of pronotum, $, 4 4.5, 9, 

 3.84.5; of tegmina, $, 25 26, $, 25; of hind femora, $, 1718.5, 9. 

 16.5 17.5; of ovipositor, 5 mm. Width of tegmina, $ and 9,6; of ovi- 

 positor, 2 mm. 



Dunedin, Fla., June 10; one male taken at porch light (W. 8. 

 B.). Bosky Dell, 111.; one female (Field Museum). This seems 

 to be a very scarce species whose range is confined to the Austral 

 Life Zone. Brunner's type, a single male, was from "Carolina." 

 Scndder (1808, 287) records a female from North Carolina. Davis 

 has received it from Mississippi and R. & H. (1007) mention the 

 capture of a male from floating water hyacinth near Palatka, Fla.. 

 Aug. 18. It is also recorded by them (1016, 255) as having been
