ORTHOPTEEA OF INDIANA. 459 



Agitator is said to bo common in the middle and southeastern 

 States, where it inhabits grapevines and dense shrubbery. The eggs 

 of the female are there deposited in twigs of the white elm, Ulmus 

 americana L., and the insects are vei-y active at night, running and 

 jumping al)out on tlie trunks of various trees. 



LXIII. Orocharis Uhler (1864). 



The members of this genus have the body flattened and rather 

 slender; the head sliort, slightly narrower than the T)ronotum, the 

 front depressed and prolonged between the eyes in the form of a 

 short beak; ocelli present, arranged in a triangle on the short frontal 

 beak; the maxillary palpi with the third segment longest, cylindrical; 

 tlie apical one a little longer than the one preceding, enlarged grad- 

 ually from the base, obliquely truncate. Pronotum wider than long, 

 though narrower than the tegmina, the front and hind nuirgins trun- 

 cate and ciliate. Tegmina longer than the abdomen, their texture 

 more membranous than in the preceding genus; strongly reticulated 

 and tapering posteriorly; inner wings a little longer than the teg- 

 mina. Hind femora rather sliort and slender. 



Three nominal species occur in the United States; of these one 

 has been taken in Indiana.
