622 FAMILY VII. TETTIGOXIIDvE. THE CAMEL CRICKETS. 



Putnam Co., Ind. ; North Madison, Conn. (W. 8. B.) ; Cabin 

 John Run, Md. and Alexandria Co., Va., Sept-, trapped in mo- 

 lasses jar (Daris). This is the species usually known as 

 Ceutliopliilus neglect us Scudder (1894, 07), an examination of the 

 types of both showing them to be the same, the name iiigricunK 

 having a six-page priority in Scudder's 1804 paper. The unique 

 male type of niyricuns from Tyrone, Ky., in the Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station collection at Lexington, Ky., is a small, rather 

 dark, compact-bodied individual, but in the distinctive form of 

 subgenital and supra-anal plates and in the armature of hind 

 femora, it agrees in every respect with the Ithaca, New York type 

 of C. neglect us in the Scudder collection. 



The known range of C. nigricans extends from New England 

 and Ontario west to central Indiana and Kentucky, and south to 

 Orange, Va. R. & H. (1916, 277) state that C. ncglectus, the 

 synonym, is one of the more abundant if not the most abundant 

 species of the genus in the region above mentioned. Morse (1919a) 

 says that it probably occurs throughout New England in wood- 

 lands, and (1919) that the male "can usually be recognized at 

 once by the yellowish color of the under] tarts, and by having the 

 ninth tergum completely hidden by the crescentically thickened 

 parabolic margin of the eighth tergum ; and in the subgenital plate 

 being short, scoop-shaped, with thickened semicircular, nearly 

 horizontal margin." 



Walker (1905, 117) records a single pair of half-grown young 

 of C. neglect it s from Niagara Glen, Out- About Washington, D. C. 

 it is the dominant species of the genus, mating September 24 and 

 eggs laid September 29. West of New York nigricans, as neglectus, 

 has heretofore been recorded only from Jefferson, Ohio (Kostir). 

 It is the C. terrestris of my former work ( 190o, 406), specimens 

 having been so identified for me by Scudder, who confused his 

 tcrrcNtris and ncglcrtux. The young are darker and more macu- 

 late with yellow than the adults.

 bars. Vertex ending in a subdepressed triangle. Fore femora one-fourth
