 < >ne of the most slender bodied species belonging to our fauna, and the 

 only one whose wings are never shorter than the body. Posterior femora 

 reaching to or slightly beyond the tip of tegmina in the female, distinctly 

 shorter in the male. Face, sides of pronotum and abdomen, and basal 

 portion of ovipositor green ; tegmina and apical third of ovipositor light 

 reddish brown ; upper side of abdomen, and stripe on occiput and disk of 

 pronotum darker brown ; legs green, brownish on the knees and tarsi. 



Measurements: Male —Length of body, 13.5 mm.; of tegmina, 17.5 

 mm.; of hind femora, 11.5 mm. ; of pronotum, 3.5 mm. Female — Length 

 of body, 14 mm.; of tegmina, 16 mm.; of hind femora, 13 mm.; of ovi- 

 positor, 8 mm. 



Abundant everywhere in timothy and clover meadows and especially 

 so about small streams in low ground, blue-grass pastures. One of the 

 first of the Locustida- to reach maturity, specimens having been taken in 

 Vigo county as early as July 5th. The note of the male is very faint — a 

 kind of zr r-r-r long drawn out. 



Fasciatum has, perhaps, the widest distribution of any of our American 

 Locustid;e, its range, according to Pedtenbacher, being from British 

 America to Buenos Ayres. S. A. 



The Orchelimum graeile of Harris, usually quoted as a synonym of X.fas- 

 ciatum, has been shown by Bruner (Ent. News, he. tit.) to be a distinct and 

 valid species. 



cc. Wings shorter than the wing covers ; the latter variable in 

 length.
