Three of the species described by Scudder in 1892, H. compactus, 

 variegatus b3 and suturalis, are inseparable from H. rugosus; though 

 particularly based upon color pattern, not even sufficient color 

 differences exist to enable one to choose various color forms such as 

 are to be found in numerous other species of Orthoptera, where, how- 

 ever, names for these cannot be used owing to their multiplicity, inter- 

 gradations and lack of specific importance. Other characters given 

 to separate these "species" by Scudder are without exception worth- 

 less, this is due to their variability or to the fact that they are based 

 upon differences which are so slight as to be unappreciable. 



The specimen described, in 1901, by the same author as H. citrinus, 

 is merely a very dark specimen of the present species, no other 

 characters are given nor do any exist to further distinguish the 

 specimen. 



Morse has described a single male from Clarendon, Texas, as H. 

 immaculatus. This insect is but a very pale individual of the present 

 species. The normal tegminal marking of H. rugosus is absent, the 



53 This name has already been correctly svnonymized by Blatchley, Orth. of 

 Indiana, p. 270, (1903).
