404 REPORT OF STATE GEOLOGIST. 



The anterior femora are but little longer than the pronotum; the 

 lower front margin armed with from one to four spines. Hind 

 femora of the male of average width but rather slender and taper- 

 ing; the inner surface of the upper portion of the apical half with 

 numerous raised points; the lower outer carina prominent, with the 

 inferior sulcus rather narrow and very deep, the sides meeting at an 

 angle above. The spines of the outer carina are usually arranged 

 in three sets, the basal set containing two to four equidistant grad- 

 uated spines, the distal one largest; the middle set contains but a 

 single strong spine equal in size to the one before it and separated 

 from it as well as from the first one of the apical set, by a space 

 almost twice as great as between the members of the basal set; the 

 apical set of four small, sub-equal spines. The inner carina is armed 

 with about 16 small sub-equal spines. The female has the inner 

 carina also armed in like manner with still smaller spines. Hind 

 tibiae of male straight, a little longer than the femora; distinctly 

 longer in the female. Cerci gradually tapering from a rather stout 

 base, about as long as the breadth of the hind femora. Ovipositor 

 about two-thirds the length of hind femora. 



Measurements: Length of body, male, 14 mm., of female, 16 mm.; 

 of pronotum, male and female, 5 mm.; of fore femora, male, 6.5 mm., 

 female, 6 mm.; of hind femora, male, 15 mm., of female, 13.5 mm.; 

 of hind tibiae, male and female, 16 mm.; of ovipositor, 9 mm. 



This species may be readily known from the next, its closest ally, 

 by the more slender hind femora of the male, the narrower inferior 

 sulcus of these femora, and by the different armature of their lower 

 outer carina. 



In central Indiana, UatcMeyi is the most common species of Ceu- 

 tJiophiliLS. It is usually found from July to November in small col- 

 onies of three to six or more, beneath rails and logs in rather dry 

 situations. It is especially fond of low, open second bottom woods, 

 with a loamy or sandy soil. The young have been taken in similar 

 places in December and February, but evidently the larger number 

 of eggs do not hatch until spring. It has not, as yet, been taken in 

 either the northern or southern third of the State, but probably oc- 

 curs throughout as it has been recorded from New York, IMinncsota 

 and Iowa.
