THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 289 



Measurements: AEale— Length of body, 20 mm.; of pronotum, 5 

 mm,; of tegmina, 20 to 24 mm.j of hind femora, 16 mm. Female — 

 Length of body, 21 mm.; of pronotum, 6 mm.; of tegmina, 2x mm.; of 

 hind femora, 17 mm.; of ovipositor, g mm. 



A number of males and one female have been collected at Lakehurst, 

 N. J., where it is far more common than vulgar e. I have also collected 

 the species at Tom's River, N. J. One female, from Ocean Co., N. J., 

 was received from Prof. J. B. Smith. 



In September, 1903, three male specimens of a large Conocephalus 

 were collected at Lakehurst, N. J. I was first attracted to the spot in the 

 abandoned cranberry bog by hearing the insect stridulate. The song was 

 a slow zip-zip-zip, repeated many times, and nuich re.sembling the-stridu- 

 lation of Coiiocephalus exiliscanoriis, of the salt meadows. However, 

 when the first specimen was captured its resemblance to C. robustus was 

 noted, and those to whom the specimens have been shown have suggested 

 that it was robustus. The song, however, is very different, the fastigium 

 is shorter, and bordered with a narrow black line on the lower surface 

 extending from the tip to base, or nearly so. This species, which seems 

 to be" new, I take pleasure in naiuiing after i\Ir. Andrew N. Caudell, to 

 whom I am indebted for making comparisons with specimens in the 

 National Museum. 



Cofiocephalus Caudelliauiis, sp. nov. — A robust species, either green 

 or brown, the brown specimens having the tegmina flecked with black. 

 Fastigium obtuse, its sides with a faint yellow line, beneath which there is 

 a black line extending from the apex to the base of the antenna, or nearly 

 so. The lower basal tooth blunt but distinct. Anterior and middle 

 femora unarmed beneath ; posterior femora armed beneath on both carinse 

 with numerous spines 



Measurements: Male — Length of body, 1:^ mm.; of fastigium beyond 

 the eyes, 2.5 mm.; of pronotum, 8 mm.; of tegmina, 44 mm.; of hind 

 femora, 24 mm. 



Another interesting insect from Lakehurst, N. J., is what Mr. Caudell 

 assures me is Conocephalus Nebrascensis, Bruner, a species usually reported 

 from the upper Mississippi Valley and further west. Eleven specimens 

 were collected in various cranberry bogs on the 20th of September, 1903, 

 and many others were heard.
