 56 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Thompson, Ct., and Readville, Sherburn and Newtonville, Mass., by 

 Morse; and Iowa side of Mississippi, opposite Watertown, 111., by Mc- 

 Neill. Bruner also reports it as " occurring in the timbered parts of the 

 eastern half of Nebraska," a fact which McNeill seems to have over- 

 looked. 



It was noted for the first time in Indiana on July 13th, 1894, when a 

 single male was secured from open ground near the side of a tamarack 

 swamp, just north of Kewanna, Fulton Co. On the following day it was 

 found in small numbers in a boggy meadow between two spurs of another 

 tamarack swamp, just west of Lear's Lake, in the same county. The males 

 were very wild, taking to flight when a person was a dozen yards or more 

 away. They used the wings only in escaping, flying swiftly and 

 noiselessly for 50 to 100 feet and alighting on the stems of tall grass. 

 The only way in which I could effect their capture was by running after 

 them and swooping them with the net as they arose or before they had 

 time to arrange their legs for the upward impetus at the beginning of a 

 new flight. But two females were seen. They were much darker and 

 more bulky and lubberly than the males, and being in a more open 

 place, where the grass was shorter, were easily taken. The species 

 probably occurs in the vicinity of tamarack swamps and peat bogs 

 throughout the northern half of Indiana, though it was not noted about 

 several which have been visited in the last three years.

 This handsome little Acridian has been mentioned by numerous 

 other writers under the names given above, but it is not thought best to 

 give the full synonymy in this connection. The species evidently occurs
