622 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [NOV., 



specimens from the following localities: Raleigh, April 7, May 19 

 and 26 and July 8 and 18, 1904, three males and three females; Sul- 

 phur Springs, April 24 to June 12, 1904, six males, nine females. 



The majority of the specimens show a tendency to approach P. 

 texanus, or rather P. cucullatus texanus as we believe it should be, 

 but they are certainly more closely related to specimens from Penn- 

 sylvania than others from Texas. The data with the Raleigh and 

 Sulphur Springs specimens is to the effect that they were secured on 

 damp, low ground near water. 



Aorydium hancocki (Morse). 



Three female specimens taken at Sulphur Springs, April, 1906, 

 May 7 and September 28, 1904, belong to this species. An individual 

 of the same sex from White Top, Va., elevation, 5,678 feet, in the 

 Academy collection is inseparable. All four specimens are of the long- 

 winged type, and in all but one Sulphur Springs individual is the 

 pronotum variegated with velvety-black in addition to the paired 

 post-humeral trigonal patches on the same, which are present in all 

 the specimens. 



The previous North Carolina records are those of Morse, viz., Ashe- 

 ville, Linville, Pineola, Roan Mountain 5,500 feet, and Roan Valley, 

 while the White Top record is the first one from the State of Virginia. 



Aorydium ornatum (Say). 



A single short-winged female of this species was taken at Sulphur 

 Springs, May 9, 1904. Morse has recorded it from a number of locali- 

 ties in the State. 



Acrydium obscurum (Hancock). 



The collection contains an extensive series of this species: eight 

 males and ten females from Raleigh taken April 7 to May 19, 1904, 

 and sixteen males and nineteen females taken at Sulphur Springs, 

 May 1 to 15, 1904. All the specimens in this series are long-winged 

 and numerous shades of ochraceous, rusty-red and deep brown are 

 to be found in it, while a considerable number of individuals possess 

 the paired velvety-black post-humeral trigonal markings. 



Morse has recorded this species from Asheville, Pineola, Roan 

 Mountain and Tunis, N. C. 



Neotettix femoratus (Scudder). 



The statement made by Hancock 8 on Scudder's authority regarding 

 the whereabouts of the type of this species is incorrect. The type is 



8 Tettigidce of N. Amer., p. 96.
