One of the males from Souris and the female from Bic are 

 macropterous, the others are all brachypterous.

 of quite a different insect from the typical extremus, but differ 

 from the latter only in size.

The series is on the whole of typical size and appearance. 

 The pair from Moncton are small and the series from the sand dunes 

 at Cape Aylesbury are rather small and pale, as is usual in specimens 

 from such stations. The specimens from Father Point were taken 

 with C. pellucida from the "rocky shores of the St. Lawrence River."

 of the hind femora is heavy and conspicuous, the pale streaks in 

 the lateral canthi of the pronotum are indistinct, while those on 

 the tegmina are faint or absent. One of the males from Dundee 

 is very small, measuring as follows: Length of body, 20 mm.;
