West Indian material before us and study of the literature has 

 shown that Orocharis saulcyi (Guerin) is a synonym of Orocharis 

 gryllodes (Pallas) ; 181 that West Indian form is known in the United 

 States only from extreme southern Florida. 



The present species was in part correctly recorded by Saussure, 

 but material from the southern States was referred by him'to gryllodes. 

 We have now sufficient material before us to determine that saltator 

 and, in part, gryllodes of Saussure 182 (but not of Pallas) are conspecific. 



It is true that material of the present species from the southern 

 Tinted States often shows a somewhat heavier development with 

 pronotum proportionately more ample, and in such specimens the 

 mediastine vein of the tegmina frequently bears a greater number 

 of branches. These features are, however, by no means constant,

"Bgee Saussure, Mtiang. Orth., II. p. 75."), (1878). That author has evidently 

 also placed West Indian specimens of the group to which vaginalis belongs (which 

 group probably merits generic distinction) under this name. The present species 

 never develops a green phase as described by that author.
