Aphleboderrhis pubescens Walk. (Fam. Aradidae). 



I have a single female specimen in my collection taken by Mr. O. 

 Dietz at Brownsville, Tex., in June, 1901. I believe this is the first 

 record of its appearance in the United States. 



Corizus viridicatus Uhl. 



Mr. Otto Heidemann has a specimen of this well-known western 

 form taken in the vicinity of Washington, D. C. 



Acanthocerus lobatus Burm. 



Mr. Christian E. Olsen has presented me with a specimen of this 

 species taken in New Mexico. I have carefully compared it with 

 Cuban specimens and feel no doubt of its true identity. It must have 

 reached New Mexico by way of Mexico but it has apparently escaped 

 attention as yet from that country. 



Heteroscelis lepida Stal. 



I have a single male specimen of this pretty little species taken at 

 Brownsville, Tex., in June, 1901, by Mr. O. Dietz. It is an addition 

 to the fauna of the United States. 



MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 



A Cricket New to Long Island, N. Y. — The country bordering 

 Orient Bay near East Marion, Long Island, N. Y., is sandy in places 

 with some pitch pines and tangle of catbriers that make protected 

 retreats for insects and other wild creatures. Here on August 2, 

 1913, Mr. George P. Engelhardt and I collected a number of insects. 

 In the course of our operations I turned over a log lying on the sand 

 bordering the upbeach, and was surprised to see a little cricket that 

 was evidently new to the known fauna of Long Island jump with 

 much agility to a place of concealment. After a long hunt this cricket 

 was captured and meanwhile Mr. Engelhardt had secured another. 

 These insects proved to be well-grown nymphs of Cyclopfilum squa- 

 mosum Scudder. 



In this Journal, Vol. XVII, p. 187, December, 1909, Cycloptilum 

 squamosum was reported from Lakehurst, N. J., where three males 

 and three females were captured by the writer and Mr. Charles E. 

 Sleight on October 3, 1909. The insect was originally described by
