P. 188. Chorthippus coloradensis McNeill is a synonym of 

 C. curtipennis Harris. 18 



P. 1 88. Stenobothrus occipitalis Thomas has long been 

 referred to the genus Cordillacris (Alpha}. It is correctly 

 entered on p. 116. 



P. 188. Stenobothrus olivaceus Morse has long been re- 

 referred to the genus Cor dillacris (= Alpha}. It is correctly 

 p. 119. 



P. 195. Records of Arphia fall ax from Florida are probably 

 mistakes, the locality intended probably being Mexico. 



P. 196. Arphia teporata is a synonym of A. arcta. 



P. 198. Arphia hesperiphila Rehn is a Lactista and a syn- 

 onym of Lactista gibbosa Saussure. 19 It is correctly entered 

 on p. 236. 



P. 198. The Oedipoda differentiate here listed is only a 

 reference under this name by Riley to the common Melanoplus 

 differ entialis. 



P. 204. Hippiscus sierra Rehn belongs to the genus 

 Xanthippus if that genus is to be used. In the writer's opin- 

 ion the characters used for the differentiation of Sticthippus 

 Cratypedes, Xanthippus and Pardolophora, while useful in 

 separating species, are not of generic value. The retention of 

 these groups as subgenera is not to be encouraged as the ten- 

 dency is, at least in Orthoptera, to either suppress subgenera 

 or raise them to generic rank. 



P. 205. The generic name Cratypedes was first put into 

 print by Scudder 20 but was used in an invalid manner, having 

 included only an undescribed species. The next writer to use 

 the name was Thomas 21 who validated it by describing under it 

 a new species, C. putnami. Thus the genus is creditable to 

 Thomas but it is a synonym of Xanthippus Saussure and both 

 of these genera, in the reviewer's opinion as stated above, 

 should be sunk under Hippiscus Saussure.
