Family ACRIDIID^ 

 Subfamily TETTIGINAE 



Tctti.v arcnosits, Paratctti.r ciicullatns, and Tcttigidea later- 

 alls overwinter in the adult form and Ncotctti.v bolirari in the 

 nymphal stages. Tcttigidea latcralis occurs throughout the 

 whole year, but I have not yet got sufficient data as to the 

 others. In late fall and early spring all the forms occur in 

 drier situations than during the hotter portions of the year. 



Subfamily TRYXALINAE 



Amblytropidia occidcntalis overwinters in the adult form, 

 having been taken in or close to woods from October to May. 



Eritctti.v uaricitla overwinters in the nymphal stages, the 

 nymphs being rather common in late fall, while the adults have 

 only been taken in April and May in broom straw near water. 



Our other species all apparently overwinter in the egg 1 state 

 and their seasonal range is about the same, viz. : from July 

 to November. Of our four species Orphulella pclidna is very 

 common in grassy places in and near pine woods, Dichromor- 

 pha I'iridis and Syrbula odniirabilis are liable to occur in long 

 grass almost anywhere except in the marshes, and Try.valis 

 brcricornis is strictly confined to grassy marshes. 



Subfamily OEDIPODINAE 



Arpliia snlphnrca and Chortopliaga viridifasciata over- 

 winter as nymphs, and all the others in the egg stage. 



The two Arphias, Spharagenwn bolli, and Chortophaga viri- 

 difasciata occur in grassy places in or near woods, the latter 

 form ranging more or less commonly throughout the whole 

 season from April to November. Arplua snlpliurca has been 

 taken from April to August and A. .rantJioptcra from Septem- 

 ber to December, while S. bolli ranges from August to Novem- 

 ber. 



Our two Hippisci occur in grassy fields, phenicopterus oc- 

 curring from late May to the end of July, and ntgosns, which 

 seems to prefer longer grass than its congener from early 

 August to late November.
