penetrate into their depths, where T. granulatus frequently occurs. The 

 short-winged form is generally found in drier places than the long-winged 

 form. In fact, I do not remember ever to have taken the former in boggy 

 places at DeGrassi Pt., although the long-winged form is quite common 

 in such spots. On the other hand, in a certain dry, sandy pasture at De- 

 Grassi Pt., triangularis is quite numerous, whereas the long-winged 

 variety is scarcely ever met with. 



My Toronto specimens were taken between April 20th and June 17th, 

 and again in September ; while those captured at Lake Simcoe were 

 captured between August 15th and September 25th, and also a few on 

 May 2nd, 1896. • 



2. Tettix granulatus, Kirby. 



Acrydium granulatuvi, Kirby; Faun. Bor. Am. Ins., 1837, 251. 



Tettix gra?itilata, Kirby; Scudd., Mat. Mon., 1862, 474. 



Tetrix ornata, Harr.; Ins. Inj., 1862, 186. 



Tettix granulatus, Kirby; Fernald, Orth. N. E., 1S88, 46. 

 Though less common than the preceding species, this form is 

 frequently met with, and, as a rule, is found in more thickly wooded 

 places, often a considerable distance from any clearing. It is also com- 

 mon on the boggy margins of slow streams, and a favourite haunt at Lake 

 Simcoe is the swampier parts of the shore where a large amount of 

 decayed wood collects. It is not often found in damper portions of other- 

 wise dry pastures, where T. ornatus frequently abounds. It is common 

 both at Toronto and Lake Simcoe, and also in the Muskoka district, and 

 probably ranges a long distance northward and westward in Ontario, as I 

 have taken it at Winnipeg, Man. I have captured full-grown specimens 

 in every month from April till September, but mostly in April, May and 

 August. 



3. Paratettix cucullatus, Burm. 



Tetrix cucullata, Burm., 1838, Handbuch, II., 658. 



Tettix cucullatus, Scudd.; Fernald, Orth. N. E., 47, 1S88. 



Paratettix cucullatus, Morse; Psyche, Vol. VII., 163, 1894. 

 This species is somewhat local, though sometimes very abundant 

 where it occurs. I have found it on the sandy margins of streams near 

 Toronto, and it is but seldom seen away from such situations. I have 

 never seen it at Lake Simcoe. My specimens, with one exception, were 

 taken in the months of May and June, most of them in the latter. The 

 exception referred to was a male taken on a wet clay bank, on February 

 1 8th, 1897, which was an unusually warm, spring-like day for the season.
