The name Pterophylla has been revived by AV. F. Kirby, 114 and an 

 examination of the original place of publication of the name 115 shows 

 that it was proposed by AV. Kirby for five species, one of which was 

 Locusta camellifolia. of Fabricius. 116 AV. F. Kirby has selected this 

 species as the type of the genus. 



The names camellifolia and perspicillata, one based on the female 

 sex and the other on the male sex, were proposed by Fabricius on the 

 same page, the former having line priority. In consequence it is 

 necessary to use the name standing first. 



Pterophylla camellifolia intermedia (Caudell). 

 Cyrtophyllus intermedins of Caudell. 



Examination of the types and a single male before us from South 

 Carolina leads us to believe that Caudell's intermedins is the southern 

 race of camellifolia. The specimen from South Carolina is nearly 

 intermediate in character between the two conditions, the ventral 

 fork of the cercus not being as short, and the mesal production not as 

 decided, as in the types of this race. In this specimen the tegmina 

 are long and the enlargement of the distal portion of the subgenital 

 plate is greater than in camellifolia s.s. (greatest width 2.6 mm.). 



In the heavily forested areas bordering the rivers of the southeastern 

 United States we have at night often heard a species of the present 

 genus. The song was much quicker and sharper than that of the 



113 Although all of the specimens from this State here recorded are females, 

 we have before us previously recorded males from Raleigh, which show the 

 material from this region, at least from above the fall line, to be typical camelli- 

 folia.
