303. CEUTHOPHILUS TERBESTRIS Scudder, 1894, 46. Woodland Stone Cricket. 



Size small for the genus. Dark reddish-brown, mottled with small 

 pale spots, especially on the abdomen, where the spots have a tendency to 

 arrange themselves in longitudinal rows; dorsum of pronotum rarely with 

 a median pale stripe bordered by darker fuscous blotches; legs paler; outer 

 face of hind femora with the usual dark narrow oblique bars, the apex 

 fuscous. Head short; vertex flattened vertically, ending in a blunt cone; 

 antennse twice as long as body. Fore femora one-third longer than pro- 

 notum, armed within with a single subapical spine. Hind femora of male 

 shorter than hind tibiae, rather slender, their lower carina? each armed with 

 20 to 30 small, unequal, unevenly spaced teeth, male, with fewer, much 

 smaller ones, female Supra-anal plate of male short, concave, its margin 

 very broadly rounded; subgenital plate as in key and PI. VI, h. Inner

Not known from Indiana, though it may occur in the north- 

 ern counties. Scudder, in his original description, confused f. 

 terrestris and iicyJectiis (nigricans), a part of the series used as 

 his types of terrestris being of the latter species as first pointed 

 out by Walker (1905, 118). The locality records as given by 

 him are therefore in part unreliable, but the general range is 

 northern, extending from Newfoundland, New England and Nova 

 Scotia, north and west to Nipigon, Ont., Michigan and Minnesota, 

 and south at least to the Catskill Mts- and Ithaca, N. Y. 



Morse (1919a) says it is "a common species in cool moist 

 woodlands and forests in Vermont and New Hampshire." Gooder- 

 haui has taken it at Truro, N. S. in July and August. Hebard 

 (1915a) has recorded it from Humber Mouth and other points in 

 Newfoundland. Walker (1905, 118) mentions it from several 

 places in Ontario but says it is nowhere common in that Prov- 

 ince, though he found it in considerable numbers on the Isle 

 d'Orleans, Quebec, beneath flat stones at the foot of a wooded 

 hill. Rehn (1901d, 209) records the taking by Hebard of 19 

 from beneath flat stones in an old Indian graveyard at Kewee- 

 naw Bay, Mich. "They were good jumpers, but the majority re- 

 lied on their protective coloration and remained motionless when 

 the stone underneath which they were was turned over."
