488 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [June, 



Albuquerque, New Mex. Occasional trills from this grass plot indi- 

 cated the presence of the insects in the afternoon, specimens could 

 doubtless have been taken there with ease after nightfall. The 

 series before us suggests that the species is far more plentiful in 

 the region discussed during June than later in the season. The 

 same conditions which govern the distribution of .V. cubensis mor- 

 monius are applicable to the present species as well. 



Synonymy. — In 1896, Scudder incorrectly recorded the series of 

 specimens of the present insect from the state of Vera Cruz, Mex., 

 as N. toltecus, in the same paper in which he described neomexicanus. 

 That year that name was again used by him for the same specimens 

 in his key in Psyche. 



Saussure, in 1897, finding that a species which he was describing 

 for the Biologia was the same as the present insect, corrected the 

 name in the text, but accidentally left his name Nemobius denticulatus 

 as the name for the figure. 



Specimens Examined. — 121: 61 males, 59 females, and 1 nymph.
