284 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERa) 



Measurements (in millimeters) of extremes — Continued 



In the series before us the specimens from the Pine Barrens of 

 New Jersey have in almost every case the lateral angles of the 

 pronotum outlined in yellowish. This coloration is only found 

 in a few other specimens of the present series. 



This species is common and widely distributed through the 

 undergrowth of the woods in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, 

 in this region S. texensis is common but is found only in marshes, 

 swamps or bogs. 



At Reega, New Jersey, a typical pine barren locality, adults 

 were found, in 1914, to appear about the middle of July, reaching 

 their greatest abundance by the first of August and being repre- 

 sented almost entirely by females toward the end of that month. 

 The species was heard there in the daytime giving at long inter- 

 vals a brief note "zzikk" much as has been observed in S. pis- 

 tillata; at night it was often to be heard giving single or a succes- 

 sion of rather resonant and loud stridulations. 



East of the Appalachians, the present race is found from Frye- 

 burg, Maine, and Brandon, Vermont, to southernmost New 

 Jersey and Pennsylvania. Further west it is widely distributed 

 from a narrow area of intergradation with *S. c. horealis, south- 

 ward to the much broader area of intergradation with S. c. lati- 

 cauda, indications of which are first found in material from the 

 latitude of southern Kentucky.
