A male and female of this curious little flightless European 
Katydid were captured on Nantucket by Professor H. T. Fernald 
of Amherst, Mass., September 5 to 10, 1907. They were sent to 
me for identification and duly recorded by Professor Fernald 
(Psyche, vol. 14, p. 120, 1907). In September, 1913, while 
visiting the island I found a male in the collection of the 
Maria Mitchell Scientific Association. These are all the New 
England specimens known to exist. 
This species was undoubtedly introduced into this New Eng- 
land locality with shrubs, trees, or other plants from nurserymen, 
but whether it has established itself completely and is still living 
on the island remains to be learned. I did not find it in 1913 but 
the time spent was very limited and the weather unfavorable. 
It is widely distributed in Europe and not uncommon in Eng- 
land, living on trees, brambles, etc. It is said to come out into 
view after wind or in sunshine. The eggs are laid in crevices in 
the bark of trees, the young hatch in May, and the adults appear
