SUBFAMILY VII. RHAPHIDOPHORINJE. 



these by a median row of large elongate spots of the paler hue; sides of 

 the segments, especially those of abdomen in female, sprinkled with small 

 yellow spots; legs dull yellow, hind femora with the usual narrow oblique 

 dusky lines; tips of all the spines brown. Vertex ending in an obtuse tri- 

 angular cone. Antennas three times or more the length of body, evenly ta- 

 pering. Legs very long and slender. Fore and middle femora subequal, 

 nearly one-half longer than pronotum. Hind femora about as long as body, 

 the upper surface nearly smooth; male with outer lower carina elevated 

 and armed with 7 to 13 unequally spaced spines, which vary much in 

 size; the inner with numerous much smaller teeth; in female both carinse 

 of equal width and armed with a few very small denticles. Hind tibia? 

 straight or in old males feebly curved near base, about one-sixth longer 

 than femora, the inner median subapical spine scarcely longer than the 

 outer, distinctly shorter than basal joint of tarsi. Male with middle of 

 ninth dorsal strongly produced backward and slightly upward, subtruncate 

 (PI. VII, ft); middle of supra-anal plate membranous, transversely oval, 

 deeply concave, its apex either subtriangular and subacute or rounded (PI. 

 VII, a) ; subgenital plate cleft almost to base, its lobes separated by a wide 

 and deep V-shaped notch filled with a membrane; each lobe triangular, 

 thickened at middle, its tip obtuse, rarely slightly prolonged (PI. VI, f.) 

 Ovipositor slender, feebly tapering, about three-fourths the length of hind 

 femora; outer valves with apex obliquely truncate, the tips subacute; inner 

 valves armed with four rather short, broadly triangular teeth, the basal 

 one one-half more distant from the second than the average distance be- 

 tween the others, the terminal hook, short, stout, blunt, decurved (PI. VII,

This camel cricket 

 occurs in small num- 

 bers throughout In- 

 diana. In color and 

 in the armature of 

 hind femora of the 

 males, it varies ex-

er and more northern 



specimens being often much darker than adults from the South, 

 some of the larger northern adults having a pattern very similar 

 tc that of C. latens. In Indiana it occurs for the most part in 

 rather moist woods, but often beneath logs and other debris near 

 the borders of ponds and lakes- 



An examination of the types at Cambridge shows that Oaudell 



(1910, (500) and R. & H. (1016, 270) were right in placing C. c/ran- 



dis Scudder (1894, 38) as a synonym of gracilipes; also that the
