localities between those given above, when the intervening territory 

 is carefully investigated. 



This insect was found occasional everywhere in the thick grasses 

 and weeds along the edge of the woods at the Idle Hour Club, a few 

 miles outside of Macon. Vigorous and long-continued search for 

 adults resulted in the taking of a single mature male, still soft from 

 its last* moult, and a considerable series of immature examples. 

 These latter could be readily distinguished from other Locustid 

 young by their striking whitish antennae annulate with dark brown; 

 these colors have greatly faded in the dried specimens.

The specimens recorded above from Atlantic Beach are very large, 

 their length measuring as follows: males, 18.8 to 21.4 mm.; females, 

 27. to 30.6 mm. Specimens of this species from southern Florida 

 show that an extreme reduction in size southward is to be found in 

 this insect. 74 



The species was found at Atlantic Beach to be moderately numerous 

 in marshy land on the edge of a "hammock," where high saw-grass 

 and reeds mingled with much low green marsh vegetation and occa- 

 sional cypress shoots. It is known from the above localities south- 

 ward to Lakeland and Homestead, Florida.

The present singularly striking insect is distinguished by its 

 compact and abbreviate form, with short pronotum, the dorsum of 

 which is distinctly convex in longitudinal aspect, and by its dis- 

 tinctive coloration; this latter is due to a peculiar metallic sheen 

 which suffuses the entire insect and is particularly striking in life. 



All of the immature specimens before us have the median carina
