MORSE: ORTHOPTERA OF NEW ENGLAND. 435 
the anterior ulnar vein strongly approximated to the radial ; in female usually 
slightly but distinctly nearer the radial, the widest part of the ulnar area wider 
than the discoidal area, spurious vein poorly developed or absent. Apex of 
wings rarely with spurious veins between the branches of radial. 
Pelidna. — Foveolae distinct but rather shallow, narrowly triangular. Teg- 
mina extending beyond the hind femora, apex scarcely tapering, sides sub- 
parallel; ulnar area in male usually closely reticulated (sometimes with spm-i- 
ous vein), but little wider than discoidal area; female with ulnar and discoidal 
areas of equal width, the anterior ulnar vein parallel to radial and the ulnar 
area divided by a long spurious vein. Apex of wings usually with well-devel- 
oped spurious veins between branches of radial vein. 
Olivacea. — Foveolae distinct but rather shallow, narrowly triangular. Teg- 
mina extending beyond hind femora, tapering toward apex; ulnar area in male 
expanded distally, much wider than the discoidal and rather closely reticulated, 
the anterior ulnar vein strongly approximated to radial ; in female the anterior 
ulnar vein sub-parallel or somewhat nearer the radial, the ulnar area wider 
than the discoidal, but the spurious longitudinal vein less developed than in 
pelidna. Apex of wings rarely with well-developed spurious veins.

This species varies much in wing-length and almost incredibly 
in color and markings, being, in the latter respect, probably our 
most variable Locust. 
In southern New England it is one of the most abundant and 
wide-spread of all our species, but owing to its small size and 
non-migratory habits has not attracted the attention given to 
the larger and seemingly more destructive species. While 
somewhat local, it is found nearly everywhere on dry, sandy, or
