M. femur-rubrum De Geer, 



General Range. — Canadian Provinces to the Gulf States, west 

 to British Columbia, Utah and New Mexico, most abundant east 

 of the Rockj^ Mountains. • 



Local Distribution. — The most abundant species throughout, 

 except in the Pine Barrens where it is rather local, occurring almost 

 exclusively in cultivated areas and old fields (Rehn). 



Ecological Distribution. — Adapted to a wide range of environ- 

 mental conditions, but, partial to more or less humid surroundings; 

 largely avoids extremely dry areas, such as bare sand, or open plant 

 formations on dry soils. Its stronghold is in the low, marshy grass- 

 lands in the river valleys and along the edges of the salt marshes, 

 but it is also abundant, though perhaps slightly less so, in all upland 

 districts which are under cultivation and which have a nearly con- 

 tinuous cover of grasses. 



Locality Records. — It is needless to give a list of localities, 

 since it would include about every place in which Orthoptera have 

 been collected. 



M. minor Scudd. 



General Range. — Largely boreal, from the Canadian Provinces 

 to southern New Jersey, Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and 

 Colorado. 



Local Distribution. — Frequent locally in the Piedmont Plateau, 

 doubtless also in the Appalachian Region; rare in the Coastal 

 Plain. 



Ecological Distribution. — Typical of relativelj^ dry ground 

 covered with coarse grasses and low scrub in the vicinity of woodlands.
