Falcicula hebardi Rehn. 



This interesting species is represented by a series of fifteen males, ten 

 females and four immature individuals. The months represented are 

 March, April and July. The immature individuals are considerably 

 darker and more wine-colored than the adults, and are longitudinally 

 striped with dark brown which gives them a rather peculiar appearance. 



This species, although restricted to colonies among the wire-grass 

 of the pine woods, may be taken in numbers at the right time of year. 

 Although very active and resembling the wire-grass closely in color, 

 they are easy to capture with the aid of a net. I noticed them to jump 

 from clump to clump of the grass, clinging to the topmost blades. 

 Both sexes are equally agile. (M. H.) 

 Hapithus brevipennis Saussure. 



This species, which was described from Georgia and Louisiana, is 

 represented by three adult males, two adult females and three imma- 

 ture individuals from Thomasville. The months represented are July, 

 August and October. The males have the stripe on the margin of the 

 dorsal field much more richly colored than in the females. 

 Orocharis gryllodes (Pallas). 



This beautiful species is represented by a series of four male and seven 

 female specimens, taken at Thomasville in December, 1903. One 

 female individual is uniformly colored as in the males, but the others 

 are sprinkled with umber. This species is easily separated from 0. 

 saltator by the broader and subequal pronotum and the greater number 

 of rami of the mediastine vein. 



All of these specimens were taken from under sign boards on oak 

 trees, where they were evidently hibernating. On one occasion several 

 specimens were taken from under the same sign. (M. H.)
