Undoubtedly other species occur in Indiana, especially in the southern 

 half of the state, but having had to rely almost wholly upon my own col- 

 lecting, which has been done in Putnam, Vigo, Montgomery, Wabash, 

 Marshall and Fulton counties, the eastern and southern parts of the state 

 are wholly unrepresented in the list. Three persons, Prof. E. E. Slick, of 

 Michigan City; Prof. W. P. Hay, formerly of Irvington, and Mr. W. A. 

 Riley, of Greencastle, have sent me small collections from their respective 

 localities which have aided me much in recording the distribution of cer- 

 tain species. 



To Mr. S. H. Scudder, of Cambridge, Mass., I am indebted for the loan 

 of typical specimens of the genus Ceulhophilus for comparison ; and to Prof. 

 Lawrence Bruner, of Lincoln, Nebraska, for aid in identifying and verifying 

 certain species. Prof. Bruner also furnished me some valuable notes con- 

 cerning the general distribution of a number of the species, which are in- 

 corporated under their respective species in the list below. 



The descriptions of such species of Locustidx as occur in the eastern 

 United States are scattered through many scientific books and papers 

 which are for the most part inaccessible to beginners in entomology. I 

 have thought it best, therefore, to prepare a synopsis of tbe sub-families 

 and of the genera under each sub-family, which are represented in the 

 state. A short description of each species, with such notes concerning its 

 distribution, food, habits, and comparative abundance, as have been gath- 

 ered during my collecting, is also given, together with a synonymy of the 

 species, as far as obtainable from the works at hand. 



The following is a bibliography of authors and works to which reference 

 is made in this synonymy:
