It seems probable to us that the present species is the one referred 

 to as 0. zapoteca (Saussure) by Scudder, 46 his specimens having been 

 from Corpus Christi Bay, Texas; Mexico; Venis Mecas, Mexico; 

 San Mateo del Mar, Tehuantepec, Mexico; Guatemala, and Realejo, 

 Nicaragua. Our material runs to this species in his key and the 

 three exact localities given by him with which we are familiar, or 

 can locate, are in the maritime region frequented by this species. 

 The use of Saussure's name, however, does not appear warranted, as, 

 while the description is brief, it appears to apply more satisfactorily 

 to one of the peculiarly Mexican forms of the genus. 



The habitats frequented by the species were all quite similar; at 

 Key West individuals being common in Salicornia and other halo- 

 phytes growing on almost bare coral rock in the mangrove region 

 at the east end of the island, on Big Pine Key the species was taken 

 among mangroves, while on Key Vaca and Boot Key it occurred 

 under much the same conditions as at Key West. At Corpus 

 Christi and Point Isabel the species frequented saline adobe flats 

 with low halophytic vegetation. 



Orphulella speciosa (Scudder).

At Fredericksburg this northern type was fairly abundant and 

 widely distributed, especially in short grasses on the uplands bor- 

 dering the valley of the Rappahannock. These are portions of the 

 rounded escarpment of the Piedmont region, and it seems probable 

 that in Virginia this species does not occur on the coastal plain. The 

 present form is more distinctly a species of short-grass areas than 

 0. pelidna.
