638 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Nov., 



vidua! of the same sex from Sulphur Springs, taken September 14, 1004, 

 represent this species. 



These records are the first with exact data from the State. 



Microcentrum retinerve (Burmeister). 



An interesting series of this species, consisting of seventeen males 

 and one female, taken at Sulphur Springs, September 22-October 8, 

 1004-1005, is in the collection. This series is uniform in size and in 

 all the males the tympanum is washed with two shades of brown 

 proximad of the stridulating rem, which is also unifoimly of the 

 lighter shade of brown. 



These specimens were all captured after dark attracted to light. 

 No exact record of the occurrence of the species in North Carolina 

 has been previously published. 



Neoconooephalus mexicanus (Snussure). 



Two females of this species, one from Raleigh, taken May 13, 100-1, 

 the other from Sulphur Springs secured, September 18, 1004, represent 

 this austral species. These localities are the only ones in the State 

 at which the species has been taken, the previous records being 

 "North Carolina" (Karny) and Brimley's Raleigh information. The 

 Sulphur Springs individual was attracted to light at night and so 

 captured. 



Heooonocephalus palustris (BlatcWey). 



A single male from Raleigh, taken in wet meadows, August 4, 1004, 

 is in the collection. Brimley has recorded it from this locality, which 

 is the only one in the Southern States at which the species has been 

 Becured. 



Neoconocephalus retusus atlanticus (Bruner). 



The material examined in the present connection corroborates the 

 opinion previously expressed by us 17 regarding the relationship of 

 retusus and atlanticus. The series before us consists of six males and 

 one female taken at Sulphur Springs, September 18 to October 6, 

 1004-1005, and four males and two females from Raleigh taken August 

 31 -September 7, 1004. at light, in garden and in grassy places ii\ 

 pine woods. A single immature female taken at Bayville, Ya., 

 August 10, 1008, has also been examined. The Sulphur Springs 

 series shows both color phases and is quite uniform in size, being 

 almost typical atlanticus, as determined by comparison with paratypes. 

 The Raleigh series is all in the green phase and shows little individual
