482 FAMILY VII. TETTIGOXIID.E. THE KATYDIDS. 



tinct, but the means merge, so as to be practically indistinguish- 

 able unless one wishes to juggle with words and names. 



The range of typical carinata is given by K. & H. as extending 

 from southern Massachusetts west to New Jersey and Pennsyl- 

 vania, and south over southeastern Virginia to eastern North 

 Carolina and north-central Georgia, while Davis has it from Agri- 

 cultural College and Lucedale, Miss. Fox (1917) states that in 

 Virginia carinatn inhabits similar situations as does oblongifolia, 

 but is more frequent in tidewater areas. 



219. AMBLYCOBYPHA UHLERI Stal, 1876, 57. Uhler's Katydid. 



Size small for the genus. Above gress-green fading to pale greenish- 

 yellow, shrilling organ of male brown or blackish, the cross-vein green; 

 beneath greenish-yellow fading to dull clay-yellow. Antenna? pale red- 

 dish-brown, surpassing the tips of tegmina. Pronotuni strongly narrowed 

 in front, lateral carinse distinct on basal two-thirds, rounded into lateral 

 lobes in front of middle; hind margin broadly rounded, lateral lobes 

 deeper than long, their hind margin broadly rounded. Tegmina oblong- 

 elliptical, not reaching tips of hind femora. Wings protruding beyond 

 tegmina 3 5 mm. Metasternal lobe each side longer than broad, its 

 hind margin rounded. Male with cerci strongly tapering, thickly clothed 

 with bristling hairs; tegmina longer and narrower than in female. Ovi- 

 positor broad, of equal width throughout, slightly longer than pronotum. 

 not strongly curved, the apical half rather strongly serrate on both mar- 

 gins (Fig. 157, /.) Length of body, $, 1415, 9, 1617.5; of pronotum, 

 $, 4.8 6, 9, 5.57; of tegmina, $, 2327, 9, 20 28; of hind femora, 

 $, 21 27, 9, 22.5 28; of ovipositor, 7.5 10. Width of tegmina, $,

This, our smallest species of the genus, is much less common 

 in Indiana than either oblongifoUa or rot uncli folia, not having 

 been taken north of Vigo Co., where it frequents the tall sedges 

 and willows bordering the large ponds in the Wabash River bot- 

 toms. In southern Indiana it was once found plentiful, Septem- 

 ber 3 4, near Wyandotte Cave, Crawford Co., where a number 

 were secured on grass and herbs. In Posey, Warrick and Harri- 

 son counties, single specimens have been taken by sweeping wil- 

 lows in late September. The young sometimes feed upon the 

 leaves of the black and scarlet oaks, Qucrcus rrliithifi Lam., and 

 (>. coccinca Wang, and the perfect insect is often found on or be- 

 neath these trees. 



In Florida -1. itlileri is also scarce, occurring for the most part 

 on bushes and other undergrowth in open pine woods. A single 

 male, taken at light at Dunedin, Oct. 14, is at hand, and is larger, 

 with longer tegmina than any of those from Indiana. It probably 

 occurs throughout the State, having been recorded in small num-
