THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 245 



I have taken in Northern Indiana a glaucous-legged $ in copulation 

 with a red-legged ? , and also specimens in which the tibije were dark 

 brown at base, greenish or glaucous in the middle, and red on the apical 

 third. Specimens from New England, Xah^lGd femoratus, by Prof. Morse, 

 differ in no wise from those from Indiana, called bivittatus by as able an 

 authority as Prof. Lawrence Bruner. I am^ therefore, constrained to 

 believe that the two so called species are one and the same, Say's name 

 having the priority. 

 Melanoplus griseus, Thomas. (C. E., XXIV., 30.) 



On September 24th, 1893, I found this locust to be quite common 

 within the depths of a tamarack swamp in Fulton Co. While other 

 AcrididcB were common up to the very border of the tamarack growth, 

 this and two species of grouse locusts were the only ones found within 

 this border. Several pairs were taken in coitu. It was not an active 

 insect — usually, after one or two short leaps, squatting close to the earth, 

 and seemingly depending upon the close similarity of its hues to the 

 grayish lichens about it to avoid detection.

 Other than the Tettigiuiie, the earliest dates at which mature locusts 

 have been taken in Vigo County are as follows : 



Schistocerca america?ia, Drury, April nth, 1893. Blown in by storm.* 

 Chortophaga viridifasciata, De Geer, Apr. 15th, 1894. 

 Arphia sulphurea, Fab., May 5, 1894. 

 Pezotettix viridtihcs, Walsh, May 11, 1894.
