reference to the insect now known as Anaxiplius exi^uns. The latter 

 insect is the one described by Say, and Kirby's refererice on page 19 

 should be quoted in synonymy under it. 



Gryllus, \AX\x\.--Nigra^ Harr., is listed as a distinct sj^ec'e?, is si)elled 

 ;//^^r, and has iieglectits, Scudd., and Jiigerrimus, Walk., as syr.onyms. 

 I should retain the original spelling, and place it as a variety of 

 Peiinsy/vanicns, Burm. Luctuosns^ Serv., is listed as distinct. I beh'eve 

 it to be a macropterous form of abbt eriaiiis, Serv. Auiericafiiis, Bla'.ch., 

 listed as distinct, is a synonym of Pennsylvanictis, var. nigra, Harr.§ 

 Liiieaticeps. Stal. here listed as distinct, had probably better have been left 

 in the synonymy under assimilis. Acheta iiiarginata, Thomas, Trans. III. 

 Agric. Soc, V, p. 443 (1865), is not mentioned in the Catalogue so far as 

 I can find. It is not a member of the genus Gryllns. 



Cyrtoxiph.a, Brunn. — Giiridlac/ii, Sauss., occurs in the United Stales 

 as far north as the District of Columbia. Variegaitis, Bruner, Publ- 

 Nebr. Acad. Sc, iii, p. 32 (1893), is sufficiently well characterized to 

 warrant recording, but I can tnid no reference to it in the Catalogue. It 

 is a synonym of Nemobius caroliinis. 



Orocharis Uhler. — Uhleri, McNeill, is a synonym of HapiiJius 

 agitator, Uhl. 



Tafalisca, Walk. — T. iiirida, W\alk., should have the United States 

 included in its habitat, as it has been recorded from our fauna, and speci- 

 mens from Florida are in the collection of the National Museum. 



A few species, such as Conocephalus Caiidellianus, Davis, apparently 

 described in time for recording, do not appear in the Catalogue. These 

 will doubtless appear in the Sup])lement promised in the introduction to 

 volume first. 



§Blatchley's name could not stand in any case, being- preoccupied by Gryllus 

 Americanus, Drury, HI. Nat. Hist., i, p. 121, pi. 49, fig-. 2 (1837). That this first- 

 established name applies at the present time to an insect of a different family, 

 does not prohibit its preoccupying- a later name of the same combination and 

 spelling-.
