The previous positive New Mexican records of the species were from 

 Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Gallinas Canyon, Fort Buchanan and Mesilla 

 Park, May to August. 



Gryllus alogus Rehn. 



A series of nine males and six females are contained in the collec- 

 tions examined in this connection. Of this series five males and three 

 females were taken at Alamogordo, July 12 and 13, one male attracted 

 to light, the remainder taken from a dead yucca ; one pair was taken at 

 El Paso, July 11, from a burrow, also inhabited by immature gryllids of 

 other species, at the edge of the mesa; two males and one female from 

 desert hillside and grass prairie at Aden, July 21 ; a single male from 

 Deming, July 19, attracted to light, and a single female from Fort 

 Wingate, May 12, collected by John Woodgate. 



The Fort Wingate individual is quite small, no more than two-thirds 

 the size of the other females, while the coloration of nearly all the speci- 

 mens is uniformly darker than that of the type. The species appears 

 to be closely related to the Californian G. vocalis.
