This species has almost without exception been found in salt 

 marshes, usually in Spariina patens, covering the tidal flats. The 

 chiefl}' maeropterous series taken at Virginia Point, Texas, was, 

 however, in high and heavy grasses, where the following field note 

 was made, "A difficult species to capture as individuals are very 

 restless and immediately seek shelter by jumping down low in 

 the bunches of grass where they are very hard to follow." On 

 the coast of New Jersey the species is frequentl}' to be found in 

 great numl)ers on the salt marshes, both in Spariina patent 

 and Panicularia fluitans, where large series could be taken with 

 ease. The present insect is now known from Cape Cod, Mas- 

 sachusetts, to Miami, Florida on the Atlantic coast, and on 

 the Gulf coast from Mrginia Point, Texas, to Everglade, Florida.
