This species is very plastic, varying considerably in size, l^oth 

 individually and geographically, and appreciably in the pro- 

 portionate width of the tegmina and in the length and relative 

 depth of the ovipositor. The area in which the species reaches 

 greatest size is southern Georgia and northern Florida, but even 

 in the material from that region there is much individual variation. 

 In consequence of the lack of a sufficient representation of ma- 

 terial from the coast region of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana 

 and the Mississippi valley it seems best to give only a few measure- 

 ments of average pairs and the extreme individuals of the species 

 seen. The depauperate condition of the Uvalde minimum female 

 is remarkable, the other specimens from that locality being dis- 

 tinctly above the average in size. 



The range of this species extends from southern New Jersey, 

 south to southern Florida, in the east extending as high as 1600 

 to 1800 feet elevation (Murphy, North Carolina, and Currahee 

 Mountain, Georgia), west to eastern Oklahoma and west-central 

 Texas (Uvalde), ranging north in the Mississippi valley region 

 as far as Minnesota and central Indiana and Illinois, and south 

 in Texas as far as Victoria. In Arkansas the species ranges as 

 high as 2600 feet (Rich Mountain) and has been captured as high 

 as 1700 feet in Texas (Kerrville).
