 A common species in Ontario and has similar haunts to those of 

 Tettix granulatus. The edges of roads cut through swampy woodlands 

 are favoflrite resorts, but it is frequently found in other wet places. Like 

 Tettix granulatus, it is also often found in deep woods, when these are of 

 a more or less damp character. 



The short-winged form is more often seen than the long-winged form, 

 but both are quite common. On April 12, 1895, I found a $ pennata- 

 hibernating in a beetle-boring in a log. The hole was completely con- 

 cealed by the bark. 



My specimens were taken between the beginning of April and June 

 21, and again in August and September.

This species is rather common on the borders of woods in summer, 

 the males hopping about on the dead leaves, with which their colour 

 closely harmonizes, and the females squatting on logs and old fences 

 upon which they deposit their eggs. Mr. C. T. Hills gave me a short 

 stick of dead, though sound, sumac, upon the end of which he found a 

 female in the act of boring. The hole was 16 mm. deep, but no eggs had 

 been deposited. 



It first appears in the imago state late in June, or early in July, and 

 continues through the summer till September. In the earlier part of the
