SUBFAMILY VIII. KXKOI'TKKIX.K. 71i 



Aii adventive sjiecies found between 1!M0 and 1!IO.~> in the 

 greenhouses of the Botanic Garden at Cambridge, Mass., where 

 they did some damage by eating the tender green leaves of many 

 kinds of plants, especially ferns. They were thought to have come 

 originally from Jamaica. From the descriptions 1 judge this to 

 be very close to, if not identical with, the Apitliix iniiinJiconiin 

 Sauss. (1874, 491) described from Surinam. 



350. HAPITHUS BREVIPEXXIS Saussure, 1897, 2G8. Short-winged Bush 

 Cricket. 



Elongate-oblong, rather slender. Pale reddish-brown; males with 

 margin of dorsal field of tegmina yellow, bordered below with a fuscous 

 line. Apical half of terminal joint of palpi much enlarged its apex ob- 

 liquely truncate. Tegmina reaching middle of abdomen, their tips broadly 

 rounded; those of female much less reticulate than in agitator. Hind fe- 

 mora relatively slender, three-fourths the length of body. Ovipositor 

 straight, very slender, its tip not upturned. Length of body, , 11 1G, 

 $, 15 19; of tegmina, $ and 9, 6 9; of hind femora, $, 11 13.5, 9, 

 12.5 15; of ovipositor, 9 11 mm. 



This handsome bush cricket is known only from Georgia. 

 Florida and Louisiana, and appears to be scarce wherever found. 

 In Florida it has been definitely recorded from Atlantic lieach, 

 Gainesville, Live Oak, La Grange and Cocoanut Grove. It oc- 

 curs for the most part among the tangled undergrowth of rather 

 dry open oak and pine woods, the adults being found from July 

 to October. 



II. OROCHARIS Uhler, 1804, 544. 



Elongate, rather slender crickets having the body subde- 

 pressed ; head short, narrower than base of prouotum ; vertex 

 flattened, strongly declivent, prolonged to form a short beak be- 

 tween the antenna?; maxillary palpi slender, third joint longest, 

 cylindrical, fifth slightly longer than fourth, enlarged gradually 

 from base, its apex obliquely truncate; antennre setaceous, three 

 times the length of body, the basal joint very stout; pronotum 

 subquadrate, wider than long, front margin truncate, ciliate, hind 

 one usually feebly bisinuate; tegmina surpassing abdomen 4 

 mm., exceeded by wings 2 4 mm., gradually tapering beyond the 

 middle, the marginal area closely enveloping the abdomen; sub- 

 apical spectrum large, enclosing in front a curved vein which 

 parallels the boundary vein of the area; fore and middle legs 

 stout, basal joint of their tarsi short, dilated, apical joint very 

 slender, nearly as long as the other two united; hind femora slen- 

 der, not reaching tips of tegmina; ovipositor straight, very slen- 

 der, the tip crenate beneath.
