90 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



of the lateral lobes of the pronotum being more extensive in some 

 few specimens in the second instar preceding matm-ity. In 

 two immature individuals (cf and 9) in the same stage the 

 pronotum and the abdomen bear a median closely placed pair 

 of fuscous lines, such as are frequently seen in A. glaber.

Biological Notes. — From the scanty information available it 

 is seen that the species becomes adult by June and the specimens 

 taken as late as April 9 are in the second instar preceding matur- 

 ity. The immature individuals taken March 16 are in the third 

 instar preceding maturity, while the December 10 and 18 speci- 

 mens are extremely small. We should judge the eggs hatch 

 about December 1 (at Thomasville). The species was taken 

 in damp areas in the pine woods. 



Distribution. — From South Carolina (exact locality not cer- 

 tainly known) south to northeastern Florida (Jacksonville^^), 

 west at least to southwestern Georgia (Thomasville). 



Remarks. — This species is unquestionably a divergent member 

 of the glaher group, the evidence of the immature specimens 

 supporting that found in the adults.
