NO. 2176. NOTES ON VIRGINIA ORTHOPTERA—FOX. 215 



ENCOPTOLOPHUS SORDIDUS (Burmeister). 



Monterey, August 17 to September 1, 1914; Meadowdale, August 

 19, 1914; Hot Springs, September 7, 1914. 



One of the most abundant grasshoppers in the drier timothy and 

 blue-grass pastures of the high, intermontane valleys and mountain 

 slopes of Higliland and Bath Counties. The writer has not taken it 

 outside of the mountains, but Morse ^ records it from Roanoke and 

 Rehn informs me that it occurs as far east as Fredericksburg, 



CAMNULA PELLUCroA (Scudder). 



Monterey, 4,000 feet on Sounding Knob, September 1, 1 male. 



This is the first record of the occurrence of this common northern 

 species south of northern Pennsylvania. The specimen was taken 

 close to an open oak grove at the edge of a closely grazed sheep 

 pasture. 2 



PARDALOPHORA APICULATA (Harris).8 



Charlottesville, March 23 (nymph), April 12 to April 19 (male 

 adults and nymphs), April 22 to May 1 (male and female adults and 

 nymphs). May 11 to June 28, July 14 to November 26 (nymphs), 

 1914, February 22 to April 8 (nymphs), November 25 (nymph). 1915. 



Rock Fish Gap (Afton), May 30. 



Woodstock, June 10; Fishersville, June 12. 



Bells Valley, April 15, 1 male. 



Monterey, August 17 (1 nymph). 



Not infrequent at Charlottesville in old pastures and woodland 

 clearings overrun with Andrepegon and the other dry herbage. It 

 will doubtless prove to be of frequent occurrence in similar situations 

 throughout the mountain and valley sections, but so far the data from 

 these sections are incomplete. 



PARDALOPHORA PHOENICOPTERA (Burmeister). 



Tappahannock, June 4 to August 2 (adults), October 24 (nymphs); 

 Dunnsville, April 24 (nymphs). Mount Landing, April 28 (nymphs); 

 Lloyds, April 28 (nymphs); Sharps, May 15 (nymph), June 22. 



Charlottesville, December 5, 1913 (nymphs), March 23 to May 18 

 (nymphs), May 25 to June 2 (male adults, nj^mphs), June 4 to July 

 21, October 21 to October 31 (nymphs), 1914, February 22 to April 8 

 (nymphs), 1915. 



Jarman Gap, July 30, August 1, 1 male, 1 female. 



Occasional to frequent, but more or less sporadic, in Andropogon 

 and other coarse grasses in old fields, pastures, and woodland clearings. 



1 Publ. No. 18, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1904, p. 34. 

 * Specific determination confirmed by Mr. Rehn. 



3 = Hippiscus tuberculatus of most authors (see Rehn and Hebard, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., vol. 

 62, 1910, p. 630, footnote). Both this and the next species have usually been included in the genus Hippiscus.
