Scudder's name carinata is based upon the form of the present 

 insect having a long pronotum. 



This insect, the genotype of Nomotettix, is typical in Massachu- 

 setts; 18 south of that State individuals show a tendency toward 

 N. c. compressus, which in the series recorded above is strongest in 

 the specimens from New Jersey. 19 The specimens from Go Home 

 Bay, Ontario, are very similar to those from Lyme, Connecticut, 

 neither of which series is perfectly typical. 



We have found the species in the undergrowth of the pine barrens 

 of New Jersey, but have never taken it in numbers, possibly because 

 no examinations of this region have been made in June, during 

 which month N. c. compressus reaches its greatest abundance on 

 the barren serpentine outcrops near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

18 We have a typical series of this insect from numerous Massachusetts localities 

 (see above); other previously recorded material before us from New Haven, 

 Connecticut, and Atsion, New Jersey, shows tendencies toward N. e. compressus 

 Morse. 



19 In fact, although the series recorded above from Stafford's Forge, New Jersey, 

 certainly belongs here, as the majority of the specimens show much the closer 

 affinity to the present insect, there are two females in the series which are inter- 

 mediates individually closer to N. c. compressus Morse.
