possibly by coincidence, all the three with the short tegmina are from 

 the CJulf coast or drainage, the previously recorded specimens of this 

 phase also l)eing from that coast at Tampa.'** However, one of the 

 long- winged type is from lironson, Levy County, not far from the Gulf ,- 

 while both types ilescribed first are from Pablo Beach. 



Some specimens are decidedly more l)lackish than others, and color 

 pattern visible in the more Ijrownish specimens is obliterated in the- 

 blackish individuals. 



This species is known to range from Georgia south to Charlotte 

 IIai1)()r, Fla., and west to the Gulf coast of Texas. 



Nemobius ambitiosus Scmlder. 



This sjiecies, probably the most attractive of our forms of the genus, 

 is represented by a series of thirty-five individuals from the following 

 localities: Pablo Beach, A\igust 12, one immature female; San Pablo, 

 August 13, one female; Gainesville, August 16 and 17, seventeen males, 

 sixteen females. At San Pablo and Gainesville the undergrowth in 

 pine woods was its favorite habitat, while at Pablo Beach it was found 

 in palmetto scrub. 



A very perceptible amount of variation in the shade of the base color 

 of the tegmina and of the cephalic markings is noticeable, some in- 

 dividuals having these parts more brownish than others. The yellow 

 line bordering the eye caudo-laterad is also absent or faint in several 

 specimens, the same being true of the medio-longitudinal line on the 

 external face of the caudal femora. In general size there is considerable 

 variation, but the tegmina appear to be of a comparatively uniform 

 length. 



This species ranges from southern Georgia (Thomasville) to Miami, 

 D'ade County, Fla. The localities in addition to the above from which 

 it has been recorded, all in Florida, are Leon County, Fort Reed and 

 Sanford, Orange County; Jacksonville, Duval County; Ormond, 

 \'olusia County; Tampa, Hillsboro County; Charlotte Harbor and 

 Lidian River. 

 Gryllus rubens Scudder. 



The localities at which this species was taken are Jacksonville, 

 August 10, one male; Pablo Beach, August 13, one female; Gainesville, 

 August 16 and 17, two males, one nymph. At Gainesville both the 

 pine woods undergrowth and open field were the situations in which 

 specimens were taken; at Jacksonville a city park, and at Pablo Beach 

 grassland.
