156 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Quebec, July ist, 1899, through the kindness of Mr. Chagnon, who showed 

 me a short series taken at the same time and place. This is apparently 

 one of two species which I found standing wrongly in the Washington 

 collection, in different drawers, as vionia Strecker, and there were 

 specimens of it from Wellington, B. C, Raleigh, N. C., and Silverton, 

 Colo. I can identify it at present with no known name, and have given 

 it one in my manuscript notes for my own convenience, but will not 

 publish until I have had opportunities for further study. It shows stronger 

 contrasts of colour \\\2iW passer^ having paler ground, and dark shades 

 blacker, and mine have more whitish in the reniform. 



NOTES ON ORTHOPTERA. 



BY A. N. CAUDALL, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Mr. Chas. Schseffer, of the Brooklyn Museum, recently sent Mr. 

 Banks a number of Neuroptera for identification. Among this material 

 was one specimen labelled '■' Mantispa sp. Neuropt," which proves to be 

 a male specimen of Maiitoida juays S. & Z., a little Mantid very like, in 

 general appearance, the members of the Neuropteroid genus Ma7itispa. 

 The locality label was only '' Florida," and, as the species was described 

 from Northern Yucatan, it seemed doubtful if it was really from Florida. 

 The specimen bore an accession label, so Mr. Banks wrote for further 

 information regarding it. Mr. Schsefter replied, assuring him that the 

 specimen was from Florida, probably from Kissimmee, and was from the 

 collection of Charles Palm. 



This is an interesting addition to the list of United States Orthoptera, 

 being the only representative of its subfamily, the Eremiaphalinse, found 

 in the nearctic fauna. 



The genus Parabacillus of Schulthess^ is preoccupied by the genus 

 of the same spelling erected by the writer some years ago.^ 



The genus Lophotettix of Bruner^ is preoccupied by Lophotettis 

 Hancock.^ 



Tettigidea aicstralis Brunei'^ is preoccupied by Tettigidea australis 

 Hancock.*^
