SUBFAMILY V. GRYLLINJE. 679 



As I have no Indiana female, I have adopted Hebard's conclu- 

 sions. Those from Yigo County were taken from the sandy bed 

 of the old canal five miles north of Torre Haute. 



Of his types Walker (lor. cit.) wrote: "This is a well marked 

 species, easily distinguished from Y. fasciatus by its much smaller 

 size, grayish coloration, more distinct dark markings and longer 

 ovipositor. It occurs only on sandy soil where the vegetation is 

 somewhat scanty. The pale colors render it very inconspicuous 

 against the sand. The chirp of the male is a feeble continuous 

 trill, more high pitched and much shorter than that of fasciatus." 



N. yriscus has been recorded only from central eastern On- 

 tario, Maine, Massachusetts and the Indiana localities above giv- 

 en. A single long-winged female was taken by Walker- It is 

 closely allied to fasciatus, its xerophytic habitats having pro- 

 duced slight color and structural changes which are probably 

 sufficient to retain its specific standing.

"Differs from 2V. griseus only in its darker coloration, more obscure 

 color pattern and much shorter ovipositor, the latter being but little over 

 three-fourths the length of caudal femur." (Hebarcl.) Length of body,

Hart's unique female type was taken Dec. 2G, at College Sta- 

 tion, Tex. It is placed as a southern race of {/rise us by Hebard 

 (11)13, 437). R. & H. (1910, 288) have recorded a single female 

 from Macon, Ga., and a male from Winslow, Ark. 



322. NEMOBIUS MACULATUS Blatchley, 1900, 52. Larger Spotted Ground 



Cricket. 



Size medium for the genus; form robust. Dark brown with a yellow- 

 ish suffusion, more or less dotted with piceous, especially on occiput, 

 cheeks, disk of pronotum and hind femora; occiput with a narrow median 

 yellowish line and another about the eyes; maxillary palpi reddish-brown, 

 apical half of terminal segment fuscous; tegmina of male with dorsal field 

 translucent brown, the discoidal vein narrowly ivory-white; lateral field 

 and upper two-thirds of lateral lobes in both sexes dark brown. Head 

 rather large, as wide as pronotum. Disk of pronotum about two-fifths 

 wider than long, feebly narrowing from base to apex, its front margin and 

 lateral lobes sparingly beset with stiff black bristles. Tegmina of female 

 less than half as long as hind femora, covering one-third of abdomen, 

 their tips both of dorsal and costal fields obliquely subtruncate and meeting 

 at an angle, the longitudinal veins prominent, cross veinlets feeble; those 

 of male covering two-thirds of abdomen, their tips broadly obliquely 

 rounded. Ovipositor straight, the apical sixth tapering evenly to the acute 

 tip, finely and sharply serrulate above (Fig. 227.) Length of body, $,
