a great amount of variation in the rugosity of the pronotum, the char- 

 acter of the median carina of the pronotum, and a slight amount of 

 color variation, the latter chiefly in the intensity of the pair of spots 

 posterior to the humeral angles. 

 Neotettix bolteri Hancock. 



A single specimen of what appears to be this species was taken in 

 Leon county, March 22, 190-4, in swampy ground at the edge of a small 

 lake. 



Neotettix femoratus (Scudder). 



A variable and interesting series of specimens from Thomas ville, 

 taken in late June, early July, September and October, 1903, and 

 April 9 and 10, 1904, are referable to this species. While a great 

 amount of variation is exhibited by the specimens examined, they 

 appear, after comparison with the tj-pe, to represent Scudder's species. 

 Three individuals belong to a type with the posterior portion of the 

 pronotum elongate. 



This species, during the summer, was found moderately plentiful.

Paratettix texanus Hancock. 



Three Thomasville specimens, two males, one female, are contained 

 in the series examined. They were taken on marshy meadow or sandy 

 beach at Linton's Pond on March 21, April 10, 1904. This species has 

 been recorded from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and South 

 Carolina. Its status appears to be more likely that of a mere subspecies 

 of P. cucullatus. 



Tettigidea spicata Morse. 



This species is represented by a series of seventeen specimens taken 

 at two localities in Thomas county. At one point about two miles 

 west of Thomasville, in wet pine woods, it was taken on December 14, 

 1903, April 9, 1904; while on February 29, March 29 and April 1 it 

 was taken in bayou country along the Ocklockonee river. A form 

 with the pronotum elongate is represented by four specimens, two of 

 each sex. 



Tettigidea lateralis (Say). 



This species was very abundant in moist localities in Thomas and 

 Leon counties. In bottom land as well as on sandy stretches and 

 moist meadow this interesting little locust was noted. Specimens 

 examined were taken in the months of February, March, April, July, 

 August and September. The series examined, over one hundred and 

 thirty in number, exhibits a considerable amount of variation in size 

 and in the angulation of the anterior margin of the pronotum.
