This species is one of the most ubiquitous locusts of the eastern 

 half of the continent, inhabiting a great variety of environments, 

 chiefly campestral and on soil containing a moderate amount of mois- 

 ture. It is one of the few species which has apparently extended its 

 range down the Mississippi River along the levees, being common on 

 the higher ground near the river and on embankments along canals.

Oklahoma: Snyder.

 when on the wing or when at rest. 



Encoptolophus COStalis Scudder. 



Texas: Amarillo; Clarendon; Myra ; Quanah. 



Locally common among the mesquite grass, varying much in

 form bears a strong resemblance to Phlibostroma quadrimaculatiim.
