72 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



habits of monticola is that, at Jones' Knob, it occurred in the 

 undergrowth of the deciduous forest immediately below the 

 spruce belt. 



Distribution. — The more elevated areas of the southern Appa- 

 lachian region, the known localities being almost entirely above an 

 elevation of three thousand feet, the highest record being from 

 six thousand feet. The most northern locality known is Shaver's 

 Mountain near Durbin, West Virginia and the most southern, 

 Clayton, Rabun County, Georgia. 



Remarks. — As we have said above this insect and davisi may 

 prove to be forms of the same species, one possibly being the 

 equivalent of the other in a more restricted and pecuhar (monti- 

 cola) or a more extended and varied (davisi) environment. We 

 have already commented upon this under davisi.
