not represent the extreme condition of the northern form as found 

 in New Jersey; however, we have Asheville, N. C, specimens 

 which would doubtless agree with Saussure's original material, and 

 these are decidedly the northern form. 



We find that none of the synonyms of damnified were based on the 

 southern race, and in consequence a new name is necessary to desig- 

 nate this distinctly differentiated form. Scudder used the previously 

 unpublished Acridium appendicidatum Uhler MSS. for specimens 

 of the form here described, but as it was unaccompanied by a descrip- 

 tion that name must date from Provancher, who referred a specimen 

 said to be from Canada to it. Scudder examined this individual and 

 assigned it to damnified.

Head with the frontal costa subequal in width, not expanded between 

 the antennal bases, non-sulcate; eyes ovate, less elongate than in 

 true damnified ; antennae very slightly shorter than twice the greatest 

 dorsal length of the pronotum, subfiliform. Pronotum with the
