Nov., 1914.] Orthopterous Fauna of Ohio. 371 



Ischnoptera (Temnopteryx) deropeltiformis Brunn. 



One cf , taken by Mr. F. W. Cowles at Sugar Grove, Fairfield 

 County. 



Ischnoptera johnsoni Rehn. (I. intricata Blatch.) 



One 9 , taken at Castalia, Erie County, by Miss Blanche Howe. 



Family MANTIDAE. 



(?) Paratenodera (Tenodera) sinensis Sauss. 



This species was introduced in Cincinnati about 1905 by Miss 

 Annette Braun, the egg-masses having been brought from Phila- 

 delphia. Specimens were seen each summer for several years 

 afterward. It has not been seen for the past three summers 

 and may have died out. 



Stagmomantis Carolina Linn. 



Numerous specimens of this common southern species have 

 been taken in the southern part of the state. 1 9 was taken by 

 Mr. M. M. McLeish, in Franldin County, just east of Columbus. 



Family PHASMIDAE. 



(?) Diapheromera velii Walsh. 



Scudder, in his paper on the genus Diapheromera (Psyche, 

 vol. IX, (1901), pp. 187-189), records this species as present 

 in Ohio. Until Scudder's material can be examined, however, 

 it would seem to be doubtful whether he did not have at hand 

 specimens of the later-described Manomera blatchleyi Caudell, 

 9 s of which, according to Caudell, are scarcely separable from 

 those of D. velii. 



(?) Manomera (Bacunculus) blatchleyi Caud. 



Numerous specimens, all 9 s, agreeing with the descriptions 

 of the 9 of both Manomera blatchle3d and Diapheromera velii, 

 have been taken by the writer at Cedar Point in the past three 

 summers. Since no cf s were taken, certain identification is hardly 

 possible, but as D. \'elii is a species of distincth^ southern range, 

 it is very probable that they belong to M. blatchleyi. 



Family GRYLLIDAE. 



EUipes minutus Scudd. 



The specimens referred by Mead to Tridactylus apicalis 

 Say belong to this species. They were collected in Columbus. 

 The writer has also taken this species at Cedar Point, Erie County, 

 and at Sugar Grove, Fairfield County. 



Myrmecophila pergandei Brun. 



This interesting myrmecophilous species was taken b}'' Mr. 

 Dury in thick woodland, near Cincinnati. It was found in 

 ant-nests which had been exposed by overturning logs and stones.
