628 FAMILY VII. TETTIGOXIID.E. THE CAMEL CRICKETS. 



are more slender, with lower sulcus narrower than in the adults. 

 The number, spacing and size of the spines on the lower margins 

 is variable and unreliable as a specific character. The form of 

 the male subgenital plate as well as that of the armature of the 

 irner valves of ovipositor is similar in the two forms- 



The known range of C. uldcri is southern, extending from New 

 York and New Jersey west to central Indiana and south to Ten- 

 nessee and northeastern Georgia. Wherever found it usually oc- 

 curs in some numbers. At Cabin John Run, Md. Davis trapped 

 1-i males and 34 females in molasses jars. It is recorded from 

 Ohio without comment by Mead; from Tennessee by Bruuner and 

 from numerous stations about Washington, I). C., by McAtee and 

 ( audell. Lugger describes C. blatrJilci/i fully but gives no record 

 for Minnesota and Bnmer records a species as doubtfully iililcri 

 from Nebraska. 

 298. CEUTHOPHILUS SPINOSUS Scudder, 1894, 58. 



Size rather large, form robust; surface of male shining. Reddish 

 brown; under surface, legs and lower third of thoracic segments nearly 

 uniform dull yellow; meso- and inetanotum each with an irregular trans- 

 verse row of small yellow spots; hind femora with the usual narrow oblique 

 dusky bars. Vertex ending in a blunt cone. Hind femora longer than 

 body, its basal three-fourths very stout, upper and outer faces strongly 

 scabrous with numerous short nodules or spines; outer lower carina of 

 basal two-thirds with six to nine teeth, these gradually increasing in size, 

 the three distal ones spinose, much the larger; these followed by four or five 

 smaller subapical teeth; inner carina with numerous small subequal 

 teeth. Hind tibiae distinctly longer than femora, their upper marginal spines 

 very long and slender, inner median spur longer than metatarsus; ter- 

 minal spurs of hind tarsi very long, strongly tapering, three-fourths the 

 length of the fourth segment. Ninth dorsal slightly projecting, feebly con- 

 cave at middle. Supra-anal tongue-shaped, concave, its apex bluntly 

 rounded; subgenital deeply cleft, its lobes thin, their inner margins con- 

 tiguous throughout or slightly overlapping at middle, the tip of each either 

 subtruncate or ending in a very short subspatulate knob. Length of body, 

 $, 13 16; of pronotum, 5 G.8; of fore femora, 7 9; of hind femora, 

 1520; of hind tibiae, 1621 mm. 



Dunedin, Fla., Dec. 9, one male (W. 8. B.) Scudder's unique 

 male type was from Georgia and the Dunedin specimen differs 

 from it only in its larger size, longer and more swollen hind femora 

 and in having the tips of lobes of subgenital plate subtruncate, 

 not ending in very short projections, as there. The two males are 

 the only specimens known, the C. sphiosits Scudd. of K. & H. 

 (191G, 274) being a very different species. The Dunedin speci- 

 men was taken from beneath a chunk on sandy soil in open pine 

 woods, onlv 200 vards from the beach of the bav.
