8 ORTHOPTKUA OF NORTHEASTERN AMERICA. 



The known synonyms of each species of Orthoptera belonging 

 to our fauna are usually mentioned in the notes following the de- 

 scription of that species. A list of these synonyms, arranged 

 alphabetically by both genera and species, with reference to rue 

 species to which each is now accredited and the page of its de- 

 scription, will be found just before the general index of this work. 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. The bibliography near the end of this volume 

 is not a complete list of the works pertaining to the Orthoptera 

 of Northeastern America but contains only the names of those 

 works to which especial reference has been made in the text, and 

 a few additional ones which it was thought might at times be of 

 use to the student of our fauna. In the bibliography the list of 

 papers is arranged alphabetically by authors and each author's 

 works chronologically by years. Where more than one paper by 

 the same author appeared in any one year the letters a, &, c, etc. 

 follow the year. Thus, a citation in the text to Davis (1912a, 124) 

 will be found by reference to the bibliography to refer to page 124 

 of his paper entitled "Three New Species of Belocephalus from 

 Florida," published in the Journal of the New York Entomol- 

 ogical Society, Vol XX, pp. 122-125. After the name of each genus 

 and each species, as recognized in this work, is given the name of 

 the author with year and page number of the work where the 

 genus was founded or the species originally described. Thus, 

 Bcloccplialus xabalis Davis, 1012a, 123, refers to the original de- 

 scription of that species on page 123 of the paper above men- 

 tioned; while BELOCEPHALUS Scudder, 1875, 458, means, as a ref- 

 erence to the bibliography will show, that the genus Belocephalus 

 was founded by Scudder on page 458 of his "Century of Orthop- 

 tera Decade II. Locustaria?," which appeared in the Proceedings 

 of the Boston Society of Natural History, Vol XVII, pp. 454-402. 

 As the joint works of Rehn & Hebard are so numerous and the 

 references to them so man}', the abbreviations K. H. have been, 

 for the most part, used for citation to them throughout the text. 



No attempt has been made to make reference to all the men- 

 tions of each species in the works cited, as such complete synony- 

 my would fill a volume by itself. Special students, who wish a 

 more extended synonymy, are referred to Scudder's "Index to 

 North American Orthoptera," which includes every known ref- 

 erence to each species up to the close of the year 1000. A manu- 

 script continuation of this index has been made by A. N. Caudell 

 which, it is hoped, will soon be published. Another work, indis- 

 pensable to the special student, is Kirby's "Synonymic Catalogue
