SUBFAMILY I. TRYXALINJE. 233 



usually along' the coast line but sometimes inland (Fayetteville, 

 N. Car., and Stonewall, Miss.) for 8~> or more miles. In Florida 

 it has been recorded from numerous points along the Atlantic 

 Coast from Jacksonville to Key AVest, along the Gulf Coast from 

 Pensacola to Fort Myers, and inland from Gainesville, Lakeland 

 and Lalielle. At Dunedin one or two pairs have been taken on 

 several occasions on Hog Island, where it was found among dense 

 dumps of a tall grass. One brown female, collected Oct. 23, has 

 a broad median, dark brown stripe extending from tip of vertex 

 back to middle of dorsal field of tegmina, this bordered each side 

 by a slightly narrower stripe of dull clay-yellow. 



Fox (1017, 211) says of it: "This species, in spite of its usual 

 occurrence within the range of tidal influence, is not a true mari- 

 time form. Its favorite haunts are the low, damp or marshy 

 tracts forming the border zones of tidal marshes where fresh 

 water prevails, and where the species shows a marked preference 

 for the somewhat restricted areas occupied by the marsh spike- 

 grass, DisticJilis spicata (L.), but also occurs in somewhat smaller 

 numbers in the more extensive areas of Scirpus americanus Pers. 

 and Spartina patens (Ait.) and much less frequently in the tall 

 reeds, Spartina cynosuroides (L.). In true salt marsh namely, 

 that occupied by the smooth marsh-grass, 8. glabra Muhl. it does 

 not normally occur. Occasionally it is taken in inland localities; 

 thus, at Tappahannock two adults were observed in a grassy fresh 

 water bog fully four miles from the river." 



The Clinoceplialus pulchcr R. & H. (1005, 36), described from 

 Miami, Fla., is conceded bv its authors (1010, 172) to be a syn-

Tribe IV. CHORTHIPPI. 



As represented in the eastern States this tribe embraces Tryxa- 

 lime, of rather small size, having the vertex with median carina 

 absent or very faint, foveolre always present, large and visible 

 from above (Fig. 84, c) ; face more nearly vertical than in the 

 preceding tribes; antenna? filiform, sometimes flattened toward 

 base, never strongly tapering; median carina of pronotum low but 

 distinct, cut in or behind the middle by the principal sulcus; inter- 

 calary vein of tegmina present but not strong. 



KEY TO EASTERN GENERA OF CHORTHIPPI. 



a. Lateral carinse of pronotum present and almost equally distinct on 

 both prozona and metazona; inner apical spurs of hind tibiae sub- 

 equal in length; broadest part of male tegmina lying beyond the 

 middle. I. CHORTHIPPTJS.
