the latter three of the above records to be equivalent to the west- 

 ern edge of the pine barrens. 



Trimerotropis citrina Scudder. 



Lehigh Gap, Lehigh Co., Pa. July 20, 1902. J. A. G. Rehn. 



This species has been recorded east of the Mississippi but 

 once before, that record being from Maryland (McNeill, Proc. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus., xxiii, p. 427). The collection of the Acad- 

 emy also contains one specimen from Roan Station, Tennessee, 

 taken September 3, 1901, by Mr. Lancaster Thomas. 



In describing this species McNeill (vide supra) says "pro- 

 cess of the metazone decidedly obtuse angulate, with the mar- 

 gins straight and the tip rounded." 



The specimens above mentioned agree in every particular 

 except this one, the posterior process of the metazone being 

 rectangulate, with the tip angulate and not rounded. 



Schistocerca damnifica (Saussure). 



Manumuskin, Cumberland Co., N. J. April 28, 1902. E. 

 Daecke. Clementon, Camden Co., N. J. April 21, 1902. E. 

 Daecke. Clementon, Camden Co., N. J. May 12 and 14, 1901. 

 H. L,. Viereck and J. A. G. Rehn. Clementon, Camden Co., 

 N. J. May 6 and 22, 1899. H. L. Viereck. Westville, Glou- 

 cester Co., N. J. May 18. Dr. H. Skinner. Between head 

 of Batsto River and Speedwell, Burlington Co., N. J. June 18, 

 1901. J. A. G. Rehn. 



Schistocerca alutacea (Harris). 



Acridium rubiginosum Scudder, Boston Journ. Nat. Hist., vii, p. 467, 

 1862. 



The above synonymy is established after an examination of 

 the sixty-seven available local specimens. The striped phase 

 (alutacea s. st.) and the reddish form with the mottled tegmina 

 (rubiginosum Scudder) are connected by a series of seventeen 

 specimens, which show indisputable evidence of intergradatiou. 

 In many reddish specimens the dorsal line is well marked, in 

 others present on the pronotum alone, and in some green speci- 

 mens the tegmina are distinctly mottled. The structural differ- 

 ences ascribed to the two forms are not of any value, specimens 

 typical of either one of the forms, according to these slight
