Notes on some Florida Orthoptera. 



BY A. N. CAUDELL, Washington, D. C. 

 During the month of March of the present year Dr. Dyar 

 and I traveled in Florida. Our time was so completely taken 

 up in collecting and rearing mosquitoes that we had little time 

 for making general collections of insects. A few Orthoptera, 

 as well as a small number of other insects, were however taken, 

 and the Orthoptera are here noted for the records, a couple of 

 which are new for the State, and a few notes on habitats and 

 variation. There were about one hundred and fifty specimens 

 comprising twenty-seven species as follows : 



Anisolabis azteca Dohrn. 



One pair taken in early March under bark of live oak at 

 Jacksonville. 



Eurycotis floridana Walk. 



Many specimens of this large roach were taken under pal- 

 metto leaves lying on the ground at New Smyrna. One speci- 



f This third undescribed South American locust is contained in a col- 

 lection received some time ago from the museum located at San Paulo, 

 Brazil. Its chief characteristics are given in the synoptic table.
