36 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



In forty-two specimens from Lakehurst, New Jersey, we find 

 thirty-two with the external margin of the caudal femora with 

 one or more spines and ten without spines. 



. The red or reddish coloration of the head is almost invariably 

 well marked in northern (i. e., New Jersey) specimens, but in 

 material from the southern portion of the range of the species 

 this is not as decidedly indicated, being often of a paler shade, 

 although occasionally individuals are just as highly, or rather 

 deeply, colored as New Jersey specimens. 



Distribution. — -As shown by material before us, the range of 

 this species extends over the greater portion of the Coastal Plain 

 of the eastern United States from north-central New Jersey 

 (Old Bridge, Helmetta and Jamesburg) south to southern Florida, 

 inland at least as far as the western edge of the Pine Barren 

 region in New Jersey, in North Carolina as far as Raleigh and in 

 Georgia extending at least as far inland as Macon. Westward 

 along the Gulf Coast we know the species ranges at least as far 

 asj^southern Mississippi. Redtenbacher has also recorded it 

 from Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and "Rocky Mountains, Colo- 

 rado," the last certainly in error and the others possibly so. 

 Ashmead has recorded glaherrimum from Utica, Mississippi and 

 Allard credits it to Thompsons Mills, Georgia, but in the former 

 case there may be some confusion with long-winged vulgare, and 

 in the latter we find from the material this to be the case, so it 

 seems most advisable to base our summary of the geographic
