AN INTRODUCTION TO ENTOMOLOGY 



them it does not live on the ground. The antennae are very long 

 (Fig. 261); the ovipositor is one half as long as 

 the hind femora; the hind femora of the male 

 are longer than the tegmina; and the stridu- 

 lating area of the tegmina is large. The length of 

 the body is 5-8 mm. 



There are two forms of this species: in one, 

 the hind wings are wanting and only the tympana 

 on the outer face of the fore tibise are present ; in 

 the other, long hind wings are present and there 

 is a tympanum on each face of the fore tibiae. 

 This species is found from southern New 

 England west to Minnesota and Nebraska and 

 south to Florida and Texas. 



Falctcula hebdrdi. — This is a smaller species 

 than the preceding, the body measuring only 4-5 

 mm. in length. It is uniform pale yellowish brown 

 in color. The hind wings are wanting. The 

 stridulating area is small, confined to the basal 

 fourth of the tegmina. The fore tibiae are without 

 visible t^Tnpana. Its range extends from New 

 Jersey south and southwest to Florida and Texas. 

 Cyrtoxipha colmnbidna. — This is a small, pale 

 green fading to brownish yellow, cricket; it is 

 found on shrubs and small trees, usually near 

 water. The wings are always present and pro- 

 longed in the form of a tail or queue. Tjonpana 

 are present on both faces of the fore tibiae. The 

 tegmina extend 2-3 mm. beyond the end of the 

 abdomen. The length of the body to apices of 

 Fig. 26i.--^jwA:i^/m ^gjyjnina is 8.^ mm. Its range extends from 

 extgua. (From Lug- Washington. D. C, to Florida and Texas. 



Phylloscyrtus pulchellus. — This cricket differs 

 from the three preceding species in having the last segment of the 

 maxillary palpi spoon-shaped. The head and the thorax are bright 

 crimson-red; the margin of the thorax is pale yellow; the abdomen 

 is black, and the tegmina are chestnut-brown. The length of the 

 body is 6-7 mm. This species is found throughout the United States 

 east of the Mississippi River, except in the northern portions. 



Subfamily ENEOPTERIN^ 

 The Larger Brown Bush-Crickets 



These crickets resemble those of the preceding subfamily in the 

 heart-shaped form of the next to the last segment of the tarsi ; but 

 differ in having teeth between the spines of the tibise, and in the 

 ovipositor being spear-shaped.
