ORTHOPTERA OF INDIANA. 425 



shorter and straighter ovipositor, fewer hairs on head and pronotum 

 and finer cross-veinlets of female tegmina. The serrulations of the 

 ovipositor are sharper than in fasciatus. The two also differ in color, 

 the ground of maculatus being lighter and the piceous more gen- 

 erally sprinkled where in fasciatus it is in lengthwise bars. Macu- 

 latus has, as yet, been taken in small numbers only in Marion and 

 Vigo counties. It is found in low open woods, usually in the vicinity 

 of or beneath logs.

Head rather full and convex, projecting above the surface of the 

 pronotum, black, with bristly hairs; antennas dark brown, the mar- 

 gins O'f its segments paler; palpi varying irregularly from pallid to 

 dusky, the terminal joint nearly twice as long as the third, and about 

 three times longer than the fourth. Pronotum black, broader than 

 long, slightly broader behind than in front, the anterior half or more 

 with a distinct median furrow, the whole surface with scattered black 

 bristles. Tegmina narrow, nearly as long as the abdomen, pitch black 

 in color; wings very long, the tip of the closed tegmina lying midway 

 between the tip of the wings and the front of the head. Legs brown- 

 ish yellow, more or less infuscated, especially above, the hind femora 

 rather slender, the tibial spines slightly paler at tip. Cerci slender, 

 dusky, about as long as the hind tibiae; ovipositor very much as in 

 N. carolinus; dark brown, similarly armed at tip. 



Measurements: Length of body, male, 6.5 mm., female, 6.75 mm.; 

 of antennae, male, 13 mm., female, 14 mm.; of tegmina, male, 4 mm., 

 female, 4.4 mm.; of hind femora, male, 5 mm.; of hind tibia-, male, 

 3.75 mm., female, 3 mm.; of ovipositor, 3 mm. 



I have not seen the females from Indiana and the above descrip- 

 tion is therefore copied in part from Scudder. Two males distinct 

 from any others found in the State were taken October 9, 1893, from 

 the sandy bed of the old canal north of Terre Haute, Indiana. They 

 were sent to Mr. Scudder, who pronounced them the short winged 

 form of N. cuhensis. In life they were shining black with a bright 

 yellow line separating the dorsal and lateral fields of the tegmina. 

 The general range of cuhcnsis is southward; it having been recorded 

 from a number of the Gulf States as well as Cuba and Brazil, South 

 America. Scudder records two females as having been taken in 

 Illinois.
