Provincetou, Mass.; North Haven, Conn. (Morse) ; Gravenhurst 

 and Severn River, Ont. (Walker). A handsome mottled species 

 of limited distribution, recorded definitely only along or within 

 a few miles of the coast in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New 

 Jersey, and from several points in Ontario and Michigan. 



Harris (1802, 170) calls it: "One of our prettiest species 

 found in the open places contiguous to or within pitch-pine woods, 

 flying over the scanty grass and reindeer moss which grow in 

 these situations. It appears in the perfect state from the middle 

 of July to the middle of October." Morse (1897, 80) says: "Like 

 the species of Kpliaragcnwii it is a wide-awake and rather shy lo- 

 cust, best secured by marking down and approaching cautiously, 

 capturing it with a swift sweep of the net as soon as within strik- 

 ing distance. Its stridulation and flight are very similar to those 

 of N. bolli." 



At Douglas Lake, Mich., Vestal (1914, 107) found it rather 

 numerous in July and August in an open forest among the under- 

 growth of bracken fern and blueberry, and states: "It appears 

 to be associated with lichen surfaces in rather open situations, 

 somewhat after the manner of Triiiicrotmpix sa;ratilc McN., the 

 markings giving it much of the general appearance of the lichens 

 upon which it rests." 



123a. SCIRTETICA MARMORATA piCTA (Scudder), 1877b, 31. Southern Mar- 

 bled Locust. 



Differs from marmorata by the characters given in key and by having 

 the wings broader, their greatest width contained 1.5 to 1.7 times in great- 

 est length, instead of 1.8 to 1.9 times as in marmorata; fuscous wing- 

 band broader, usually as broad as the width of the yellow disk and con- 

 tinued around nearly to anal angle. Disk of pronotum never with an x- 

 shaped pale mark. Tegmina usually darker, the pale spots smaller, more 

 numerous and more generally distributed, the dark cross-bars between 

 the pale ones not as well defined. Median carina of pronotum lower, es- 

 pecially so in female, the prozonal portion less sinuous and more evenl v 

 compressed, the disk of prozona less constricted. Length of body, $ ,

This is a common sand-frequenting species in Florida, and has 

 been taken by me at all collecting stations above Ft. Myers and 

 Miami, and by others from numerous localities both inland and 

 near the coast throughout the State. About Dunedin it occurs 

 in both nymph and adult stages during the entire winter, fre- 

 quenting bare sandy places in open woods, sandy paths and road-
