THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY: 187 



MICROCENTRUM Scudd. 



M. rhombifolium Saus. Staten Island VIII to frost; Dennisville IX, Tuck- 

 erton VIII, IX (Ds) ; Delair, Lucaston IX (Dke); Stafford's Forge 

 VIII, IX (div); Malaga IX (G G). This name replaces "laurifolium" 

 Linn, of the last edition. Common at New Brunswick IX and X, and 

 occurs throughout the State. This is the species whose eggs are 

 sent in so frequently and which are shown at Fig. 80. 



M. retinerve Burm. Mt. Holly VIII, 18 (Haim) ; Manumuskin X (Dke); 

 Bayside X, 21, Cape May IX, 23 (Coll). This is the more southern 

 form, and the remarks under this species in the last edition refer to 

 the preceding. 



PTEROPHYLLA Kirby. 



P. perspicillata Linn. Replaces "Cyrtophyllus concavus" Harr. of the pre- 

 vious list for the common katydid, which occurs throughout the State 

 from late July until frost. Mr. Davis has noted July 22, 28, 29 for 

 three separate years as the date of the first katydid call. The species 

 is much more abundant in the northern than in the southern portion 

 of the State, and its loud song forms a distinct feature of the August 

 nights in some wooded regions.
