 Howard's Insect Book, under name of marginata, PL 28, fig. 19. 



This is an abundant species in Mississippi and forty-seven speci- 

 mens have been examined, the dates of capture ranging from June 

 to November. The June record is for a female collected at Lake in 

 1916, by W. C. Parker, and the November 4, 1916, record is a female 

 from Agricultural College, collected by J. E. Vaughn. The other 

 localities are Red Banks, luka, Coldwater, Okolona, Webb, Egypt, 

 Walthall, Lexington, Flora, Jackson, Meridian, Stonewall, Ollie, 

 Mount Olive, Ellisville, Laurel, Columbia, Hattiesburg, Moselle, 

 Ovett, Picayune, Anner, Gulfport and Ocean Springs. 



This species is widely distributed, being found from eastern 

 Kansas and Nebraska to Michigan and Massachusetts, and southward 

 along the coast to Florida. 



Its song is monotonous in tone and not loud, considering the size 

 of the insect. It often commences to sing late in the afternoon and 

 continues off and on until dark.
