The New Jersey Records of Hesperotettix brevipen- 

 nis (Thomas). Orthoptera. 



By JAMES A. G. REHN. 



In 1874, Thomas described this species from "material taken 

 in New Jersey in August and communicated * from Prof. 

 Uhler through Prof. Glover." Three years later Uhler recorded 

 specimens of the species as Hesperotettix virldls, a western 

 form with which he had either confused it or considered it 

 synonymous. In this paper the discoverer of the species men- 

 tioned "cranberry fields of Atlantic County" and we can assume 

 this to be the original and consequently type locality.
