280 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



The present insect, which is found in greatest numbers in the 

 southern portions of the Canadian Zone, is usually met with in clus- 

 ters of low bushes, such as wild rose, hazel and alder, in the open. 

 Males are least active of the species of the genus, taking wing 

 much less often when disturbed. The females are even more 

 secretive than the males and usually prove very hard to find. We 

 have never seen this sex take wing. 



The distribution of this insect is known to extend from Halifax, 

 Nova Scotia, southward to Chester in northern New Jersey,^** and 

 westward as far as Regina, Saskatchewan and Bozeman, Montana.

1" Saussure and Pictet record the present insect in the Biologia Centrali- 

 Americana from Georgia. The species appears to be correctly determined, 

 but the locality is certainly in error as the insect is not known to occur in 

 the Aijpalachians south of northern Pennsylvania.
