THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 333 



THE ORTHOPTERA OF WESTERN CANADA. 



BY THE EDITOR. 



(Continued from page 300.) 

 Subfamily Acridiinge. 



64. Hypochlora alba (Dodge). 



MAN.— (Bruner^)* 



65. Bradynotes expleta Scudd.? 



B. C. — Mount Chdara, 7,000 ft., Aug. 15. (Fletcher.) 



This specimen is in bad condition, and I place it doubtfully 

 here. It is, however, a true Bradynotes, and the first of this 

 genus to be recorded from Canada. 



66. Podisma tiuda (Walk.). 



ALTA. — Banff, 2 $'s, i ?. (Sanson.) Also recorded from 



Laggan by Walker, 

 B. C — Sandon. (Walker.) Also recorded as P. polita Scudd., 



from the Kitchener Glacier on Mt. Kokanee by Caudell*. Mr. 



Caudell has kindly sent me for study the single female upon 



which this record is based, and it seems to differ in no way 



from P. nuda. 



This species has been hitherto known as Asemoplus nudus, 

 but it is generically distinct from a single female Asemoplus in 

 my collection, which Dr. Scudder considered was probably the 

 female of A. montanus (Bruner), the type of the genus. 



I placed P. nuda in Asemoplus on Dr, Scudder's authority, 

 but before submitting my specimens to him I had determined 

 the species with very little doubt as Bradynotes hispida (Bruner). 

 Some years later my attention was again called to the agreement 

 between my species and the description and figures of B. hispida 

 in Scudder's Revision of Melanopli. Prof. Morse then kindly 

 compared co-types of P. fiuda in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology with the two specimens (females) 6i B. hispida there, 

 and found them very closely related if not identical. He also 

 stated that my P. nuda did not belong to Asemoplus. Mr. 

 Caudell, in a letter to whom I expressed my belief that 

 " Asemoplus nudus'" was not generically distinct from Podisma,
