TEN NEW SPECIES OF ORTHOPTERA FROM NEBRASKA- 

 NOTES ON HABITS, WING VARIATION, ETC. 



BY LAWRENCE BRUNER, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. 



A trifle more than two years ago the writer first entertained the idea 

 of preparing a synopsis of the Orthoptera of Nebraska, with the intention 

 of publishing it as a special bulletin from the Agricultural Experiment 

 Station. With that end in view, work was immediately begun ; and in 

 the course of a few months the greater portion of the manuscript was 

 ready for the printer. At this time other matters that were considered 

 of more immediate importance came up at the Station, and that of the 

 Orthoptera was laid aside. It has now been lying nearly two years.

 eighteen years within the State, my collection contains 241 species that 

 have been taken within its boundary. Among these there are about 

 two dozen species that appear to be new to the science of entomology. 

 From among these apparently new things, the following are selected for 

 publication at this time :
