 One male, referred to this species with some doubt.

This is a very widely distributed species, of common occurrence 

 throughout the Southern States from the seashore to a considerable 

 elevation, frequenting, in company with Dissosteira Carolina, roadsides 

 and other spots bare of vegetation. Its coloring varies greatly accord- 

 ing to the tint of the soil of its background, from dull white, through 

 shades of yellowish and reddish brown, to a dull gray. 



Trimerotropis latifasciata Scudder. 



Texas: Amarillo; Clarendon; Quanah; Wichita Falls. 

 Oklahoma: Cache; Mountain Park. 



This seldom-recorded species proves to be plentiful in northwest- 

 ern Texas and Oklahoma, where it is found in abundance, associated 

 with Spharagemon aequale, etc., on roadsides and bare spots, flying up 

 in numbers before the feet of the traveler. It is a conspicuous insect 

 in flight, with its broad, black wing-band, but is not so shy, nor is its 

 flight so prolonged, as that of aequale, which it greatly outnumbers. 



Trimerotropis modesta Bruner. 

 Texas: Clarendon. 

 One male, referred to this species with considerable doubt. 



Trimerotropis saxatilis McNeill. 

 Georgia: Sand Mountain. 



Arkansas: Dardanelle ; Magazine Mountain; Winslow. 

 Indian Territory: Haileyville. 

 Oklahoma: Mountain Park; summit of Mount Sheridan. 



This is one of the most interesting locusts met with on the trip. 

 Though a near relative of vinculata, which is an inhabitant of road- 

 sides and waste places, so closely allied to it as to be confused there- 

 with except by one thoroughly acquainted with both species and their 

 habits, this species is apparently purely saxicolous. Recorded from 

 southern Illinois and northwestern Arkansas by McNeill, in 1903 I 

 found it on Stone Mountain, north central Georgia, and Sand Moun-
