"Type.— No. 8197, U. S. National Museum." 



60. Amblycorypha haustica Sauss. 



Two specimens, females, taken on the prairieon Fairmount, July 20, 1904. 



61. Amblycorypha oblongifolia DeGeer. 



Only two specimens, at Wichita; both females. Taken on the prairie 

 east of Fairmount, September 24. At Fairview, Kan., August 15, 1904, several 

 male specimens were secured after nine p. m. on the Isely farm. While several 

 species of Conocephalus, QEcanthus andMicrocentrum laurifolium were heard at 

 dusk and a little later, this Amblycorypha did not appear until an hour and one- 

 half after sunset. This I noted to be the case on several evenings. New to 

 Kansas. 



62. Microcentrum laurifolium Linn. 



Frequents shrubs, trees, and vines, and is also attracted by light. 

 Common during August and September. 



63. Conocephalus crepitans Scudd. 



Found in tall grass, and especially in cane-fields. Common in Wichita 

 during September. 



64. Conocephalus ensigner Harr. 



Found in tall grass and weeds. I have taken it only after dark, when 

 the males may be easily located by their loud stridulation. First taken at Wich- 

 ita July 20, 1904; later, in August, at Fairview, and at Wichita again in Sep- 

 tember. Only one female secured. This is a common species. New to Kansas. 



65. Conocephalus robustus Scudd. 



First specimen taken July 30, 1904. Very common during latter part 

 of August and September. Found in tall grass, weeds, and cane-fields. The 

 males begin their music a little before sundown. During the latter part of Sep- 

 tember, 1903, they were especially numerous at Wichita. They swarmed in great 

 numbers around the electric lights and covered the walks in the morning. The 

 local papers commented on the "unusual insect hordes." New to Kansas. 



66. Conocephalus nebrascensis Brun. 



This species was taken only at Fairview. Three specimens, all males, 

 were taken on shrubs after dark September 15, 1904. Unlike the other mem- 

 bers of this genus so far observed, this species is found among trees and bushes, 

 rather than out in the fields and on the prairie. Not reported from Kansas. 



67. Orchelimum agile Desur. 



Reaches maturity late in July, and is found upon bushes, small trees, 

 wjeeds, and tall grass. Numerous in Sedgwick county. 



68. Orchelimum glaberrimum Brun. 



Very common in grass and weeds along streets and roadsides. Reaches 

 maturity early in August. Found at Fairview, Clearwater, Hiawatha, Sedgwick, 

 and Wichita. 



69. Orchelimum goesypii Ashm. 



One specimen sent to me by Dwight B. Isely, caught in corn-field Sep- 

 tember 22, 1904, Fairview, Kan. New to Kansas. 



70. Orchelimum longipenni Scudd. 



Only three specimens. Two taken at Hiawatha, Kan., August 19, 

 1904, and one at Clearwater August 30, 1904. Those at Hiawatha found in tall 

 weeds along the streets of the city.
