384 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERa) 



a flash-lamp, the males while stridulating, and both sexes while 

 feeding on the seeds of Scirpus and tall marsh grasses. 



The species is known from Long Island, New York, to the 

 extremity of southern New Jersey; nowhere has it been found more 

 than a few miles from the sea coast. As we have stated, the type 

 locality for the species is extremely questionable, the type having 

 been taken very possibly in the vicinity of New York City and 

 incorrectly labelled.
