THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 207 



This species has also been recorded from Sudbury (Scudder), Kenora 

 ("Rat Portage," Walker), Heyden and Searchmont (Williamson). 



19. Melanoplus femur-rubnim, De Geer. 



Common and generally distributed. It was common in fields at Ft. 

 William and on Bear Island, Lake Temagami, and was frequently met 

 with in small numbers in clearings and open swamps in other parts of the 

 Temagami District. It was not observed at Nipigon. 



20. Melanoplus extremus, Walk. 



Fort William and Nipigon, common, the brachypterous form greatly 

 outnumbering the macropterous ; Stony Lake, Heyden (Williamson) ; 

 Algoma, near Lake Kabinakagami (Walker). Elsewhere in Ontario this 

 species is known only from Go Home, Georgian Bay. 



21. Melanoplus angustipennis, Dodge. 



The red legged form {coccineipes) is reported by Scudder from Sud- 

 bury. Mr. Norman Criddle has sent me both forms from Awerne, Man. 



22. Melanoplus fasciatus, Walk. 



Common in open woods at Fort William and Nipigon ; a few taken 

 in the Temagami District. 



On Mt. McKay the macropterous form was observed more frequently 

 than the brachypterous. It was common on the summit and on the talus 

 slope. A single macropterous female was taken from the edge of the 

 heath-bog on Diamond Lake, Temagami District. 



23. Melaiioplus altitudinum, Scudd. 



Fort William, Aug. 27th, two brachypterous females taken in the 

 open scrubby woods on the top of Mt. McKay ; Nipigon, Aug. 28th, one 

 male, brachypterous, taken among the bushes at the edge of a low wood 

 bordering the river ; Aug. 30, one female, macropterous, found clinging to 

 a reed in the river, several rods from the shore. 



Caudell has pointed out the identity of Mel. Ifuroni, Blatchley, with 

 this species, and having seen the specimens in the U. S. National Museum, 

 including one of Blatchley's specimens, I am perfectly satisfied that his 

 opinion is correct. 



Measurements : Length of body, male 21 mm,, female 29-32.5 mm.; 

 pronotum, male 5 mm., female 6.5-7 mm.; tegmen, male 10 mm., female 

 13-14 mm. (brach.), 21 mm. (macr.) ; hind femur, male 12.5 mm., female 

 15-16 mm. 



In the macropterous female the tegmina surpass the hind femora by 

 about 1.5 mm.
