rale (ENT. NEWS, xiii, p. 315) and the Riverton individuals 

 as X. saltans. 



Xiphidion fasciatum (DeGeer). 



Atsion, Oct. 8, 1903 (Hebard). Taunton, Sept. 6, 1902 

 (Stone). Medford, Sept. 5, 1902 (Stone). Near West Creek, 

 Sept. 6, 1903 (Rehn). 



Xiphidion saltans Scudder. 



Atsion, Oct. 8, 1903 (Hebard). 



These specimens agree very well with the descriptions of 

 saltans, except for the fact that the body measurements of the 

 female are slightly larger, while the ovipositor is about one 

 and a half mm. shorter. The structure of the male cerci and 

 the coloration fully agree with the figures and descriptions. 



Xiphidion strictum Scudder. 



Atsion, Oct 8, 1903 (Hebard). Both forms of the species 

 and both sexes of each other are represented in the series from 

 this locality. The cerci of the male of the long-winged type 

 are somewhat different from those found in the short-winged 

 male, which is typical when compared with determined Ne- 

 braska material. 



GRYUJD.'E. 

 Tridactylus terminalis Scudder. 



Lavallette, Ocean Co., May 20, 1903 (Viereck). 



Nemobius fasciatus (DeGeer). 



Medford, Sept. 7, 1902 (Stone). Atsion, Oct. 8, 1903 

 (Hebard). 



Nemobius carolinus Scudder. 



Atsion, Oct. 8, 1903 (Hebard). Near West Creek, Sept. 6, 

 1903 (Rehn). 



Gryllus luctuosus Serville. 



Atsion, Oct. 8, 1903 (Hebard). Riverton, Sept. 10, 1899. 



One female in the Atsion series (9) might be mistaken for 

 G. finuus, as it is of extremely large size, but all the structural 

 characters are those of liiftimtus, except the number of tibial 

 spurs which appears to be of little or no taxonomic value.
