REHN AND HEBARD 75 



Color Notes. — General color (in well preserved specimens) light 

 paris green to light oriental green, becoming more biscay green 

 on the caudal limbs. Dorsmn of head occasionally, and of pro- 

 notum and stridulating field of tegmina always, more or less 

 ochraceous-buff; as far as the present material goes always 

 bearing on the prozona a pair of brownish (russet to bone-brown) 

 lines, which become w^eakened on the metazona and there diverge; 

 these lines are rarely present on the occiput. Eyes chocolate. 

 Antennae ochraceous-orange, each joint uni-annulate with bone 

 brown. Abdominal appendages of male washed with honey 

 yellow. Ovipositor weakly washed with kaiser brown or uni- 

 colorous with the body. Tibial spines black tipped. 



Morphological Notes. — The number of spines on the ventro- 

 external margins of the caudal femora varies from one to four. 



Biological Notes. — Dr. J. Chester Bradley, in whose honor we 

 have named the species and who collected the typical material, 

 has supplied us with the following notes on the habits of these 

 insects. "In the eastern half of the Okeefenokee Swamp are 

 extensive so-called prairies. These are really inundated plains 

 grown up with sawgrass, maiden-cane, or in places open shallow 

 lakes covered with a multitude of water plants. The natives of 

 the Okeefenokee told us of diving grasshoppers which lived on 

 these prairies, and in making a trip to the Chase Prairies in 

 September 1913, I found these grasshoppers in great abundance 

 in the grasslike plants growing out of the water or growing 

 along the banks of the old canal. As the boat approached them 

 they jumped from the grass into the water, completely disap- 

 pearing, and so quick were they to do this when alarmed that 

 it was only after some difficulty that we succeeded in catching 

 a series of specimens." 



Distribution. — Extending from southeastern North Carolina 

 (Wilmington) south to northern Florida (Jacksonville and Tal- 

 lahassee), inland as far as the Okeefenokee Swamp, southern 

 Georgia.
