Orphulella pratorum Scinldor. 



The speciiueus from the locahties given for this species have been 

 compared with material from New Jersey, ^Maryland, Georjjia, Florida 

 and Alabama, all of which is considered by the authors to belong to this 

 species. The Florida series here studied presents the usual color 

 forms found in the species and was collected in a variety of habitats, 

 ranging from dry pine woods undergrowth to open marsh. The 

 localities represented are Pablo Beach, August 11-13, eight males, 

 four females; Gainesville, August 16 and 17, six males, four females; 

 Palatka, August 19, one female; Cedar Keys, August 15, two males. 

 Nymphs were taken at Pablo Beach and Gainesville, and an adult 

 male was taken during a train stop at Fairfax, S. C. August 10. 



Orpliulella pelidna (Burmeister). 7 



The specimens here referred doubtfull}' to Burmeister's species 

 have been carefully compared with the available determined material 

 of this poorly understood species, and while they differ in a number of 

 features from the other specimens, it can be positively asserted that 

 they are not the allied olivacea or extremely large specimens of the 

 species we consider to be Scudder's pratorimi. 



In size these specimens exceed any other North American individuals 

 of the genus seen by us, particularly in the female sex. The fastigium 

 is shaped much as in Nebraska specimens considered pelidna, but the 

 tegmina and wings are very long, slender and not as broad as in pra- 

 torum. The largest male measures, length of body 20 mm; length of 

 pronotum 4; length of tegmen 18.2; length of caudal femur 12.5; the 

 largest female, length of body 27.5; length of pronotum 5; length of 

 tegmen 23; length of caudal femur 17. 



Aside from one male taken at Pablo Beach, August 12, the series of 

 eleven males and twelve females were taken at Cedar Keys, August 15. 



Dichromorpha viridis (Scudder). 



This widely distriljuted species is represented by a series of twenty 

 specimens, eight of which are in the brown phase. Jacksonville is 

 represented by three males and six females, taken August 11, on a 

 weedy lot in the middle of the city ; Pablo Beach by three males, four 

 females and two nymphs, taken August 11, 12 and 13, all in marsh 

 except one male and a nymph from palmetto scrub and another 

 nymph from grass ; Gainesville is represented by two males and one 

 female. August 16, in pine woods undergrowth and meadows.
