Notes on Some of the Species Mentioned in the Previous 



Papers. 



Truxalis brevicornis (L.) (C. E., XXIII. , 75 ; XXVI., 221.) 



This well-marked species occurs sparingly about the borders of 

 marshes in Lake County, so that its range includes the whole State. 

 Chl(Ealtis conspersa Harris. (C. E., XXIII., 75 ; XXVI., 222.) 



The males of this species, which before had been rarely met with, 

 were found in numbers in low, rather dry woods along the borders of 

 streams in Montgomery County, in July, 1895. A female was taken at 

 dusk on the evening of July 21, in the act of ovipositing in the end of a 

 partly decayed oak log. Three eggs were found in the bottom of the 

 cavity in which the abdomen was inserted. 



Hippiscus tuberculatus (Pal. d. Beauv.) (C. E., XXIII., 81.) 



This is the H. phoenicoptera of my first paper. In Indiana it has 

 been found only in the driftless limestone area of the southern half of the 

 State, being especially common in Monroe and Franklin counties. Adults 

 have been taken as early as April 20th, and as late as August 15th. It 

 frequents timothy meadows, upland pastures, and roadsides, and when in 

 flight is very conspicuous owing to its large size and bright red inner 

 wings. In suitable localities, the young of this species, as well as those of 

 Arphia sidphurea (Fab.) and Chortophaga viridifasciata (DeGeer) are, 

 on bright days in midwinter, often to be seen toge^ther in numbers jump- 

 ing vigorously about. If their ])resence at such a season comes to the 

 attention of a newspaper reporter, the press of the entire State is apt to 

 teem with notices of a coming grasshopper plague, of which the young- 

 sters are said to be the advance guard. 



Spharagemon wvomingensis (Thos.) (C. E., XXXVI., 218.) 



The Spharagemon oculatum Morse, of my third paper has since 

 been determined by Prof. Morse to be identical with the species 

 described by Thomas under the above name. It occurs in sandy locali- 

 ties in the northern part of Indiana, being especially conmion in the 

 immediate vicinity of Lake Michigan. It reaches maturity about July 

 loth, and may be taken until mid-October. 



Trimerotropis maritima (Harris.) (C. E., XXVI., 218.) 



Since my former mention of this species it has been found to be very 

 common along the south shore of Lake Michigan, in Lake, Porter, and
