Two, or possibly three, species of Lupagoderes are also found in 
the same locality and situation, one of them, Lu. sordidus, preferring 
low plants. 
Diamimus subsericeus was taken around the roots of cottonwoods, 
and Peridaxia hispida, rave, under pieces of bark or logs, the former at 
Winslow, the latter at Walnut, Arizona. Lucylius vagans was found 
under ties at Barstow, Cal., Pandeletejus cinereus and Cyphus laulus at 
Peach Springs, Arizona, around the roots of scrubby brush. 
Among the Cleonint were the following species—Lixus pleuralis ; 
Centrocleonus molitor and angularis; Cleonopsts pulvereus ; Cleonus 
JSrontalis, wvirgatus, and quadrilineafus—all of which, with the exception 
of the first two, occurred almost entirely on the ground, at the roots of 
low plants. 
Species of Dorylomus, Bagous. Tychius, Acalles, Zascelis and others 
also frequent these situations: so it will be seen that it will pay collec- 
tors in the Southwest to give considerable attention to this mode of col- 
lecting,—which I found to yield better returns in Rhynachophora, and 
some other groups, than any other way I could devise. 
List of the ORTHOPTERA found on Staten Island. 
By Wm. T. Davis. 
Staten Island offers in its few square miles natural features as di- 
versified as they could well be in so small an area at this part of the 
coast. The expanse of salt meadow, the moderately high hills in the 
interior, many of which are still wooded, and the sand dunes and barren 
ground along the Kills and at Tottenville, are each inhabited by species 
of Orthoplera that very rarely or never leave them. 
Anaxipha exigua seems to be confined to the salt meadows and 
only one specimen of Conocephalus exiliscanorus has been taken at a 
distance from the salt water creeks near which it makes his home. 
Paroxya atlantica is particularly numerous on these meadows and the 
species of X7phidium and Slenobothrus are also found plentifully in the 
same situation. Drssosteira collare and Psinidia marmorala have only 
been found on the sand dunes and barren ground along the Kills, and 
Melanoplus collinus is also most plentiful in the same localities. Ch/e- 
altis conspersa occupies the hills and particularly the edges of pastures 
and in waste places. 
With the exception of Perzplanefa americana, which has been re- 
ported inhabiting green houses, all the species have been captnred by 
me. The month when the first imago has been observed on the Island, 
is indicated, in nearly every case, after the specific name, from which 
time until frost they are usually to be met with,
