2O ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Ja^-, '08 



other determined species, bruneri, has been taken in late July 

 and early August, and at least one of the specimens was taken 

 in the house at night. It would seem from the above dates 

 that fuscostriatus and mexicamis may possibly overwinter to 

 some extent in the adult state, or possibly as large nymphs, the 

 latter idea being supported somewhat by the fact that I have 

 occasionally taken large Conocephali nymphs quite late in the 

 season. A single unknown Conocephalus was brought me 

 to-day, December 7, 1907, by my little boy. 



Our four Orchelimums all seem to have about the same 

 seasonal range, mid August to late October, but while nigripcs 

 is found here exclusively in the marshes, and vulgare on the 

 uplands, glaberrimum and nitidinn are found about equally in 

 both situations. 



Of the five Xiphidii, fasciatum is found on the uplands in 

 grassy fields from mid- July till early November, cnsifcntm in 

 the same situations and in marshes, from mid-August till early 

 November, saltans in the uplands from late September till 

 early December, and strictum in long grass in both lowlands 

 and uplands from mid-August to late September. Our fifth 

 species, gossypii, has been taken in both marshes and uplands, 

 but mostly at dusk on the flowering stems of the ornamental 

 grass, Eulalia japonic a varicgata, in my garden. 



Subfamily STENOPELMATINAE 



Our only species, Ceuthopilus uhleri, has been taken under 

 stones in woods from mid-September to late February. 



Family GRYLLIDAE 

 Subfamily GRYLLOTALPINAE 



Of our two species, Gryllotalpa borealis has been found 

 mainly in burrows near water when digging for any purpose 

 in such situations, my only recorded dates being in April and 

 May. Ellipcs iniintta has been taken on damp, loamy soil not 

 far from a stream, in late April and in June. 



Subfamily MYRMECOPIIILINAE 



Myrmecophila pcrgandei has been taken in ants' nests under 

 logs or under bark from late October till late March, but not 

 yet in an ants' nest under a stone.
