A LIST OF THE ORTHOPTERA OF NEW ENGLAND. 



BY SAMUEL H. SCUDDER, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



In my "Materials for a monograph 

 of the North American Orthoptera," 

 piibhshed in 1S62, I added to the title : 

 " inclnding a Catalogue of the known 

 New England species." Seventy-eight 

 species were thus included, against 

 thirty-nine in the series given in 

 Harris's Insects injurious to Vegetation 

 published in the same year but which 

 (hd not [iretend to completeness. No 

 subsequent enlarged list covering the 

 whole ground has since been issued, for 

 Fernald's Orthoptera of New England 

 does not add a single species. Morse, 

 however, has given us a list of the prin- 

 cipal family, the Acridiidae. 



The present list gives ninety-eight 

 species and includes the names of all 

 known to occur in any part of New 

 England and their distribution and 

 abundance therein, as far as yet known. 

 Species which are accidental visitors 

 or which have plainly been introduced 

 by accident are prefixed by an asterisk ; 

 excepting only that tliose which have 

 been long introduced and are now 

 thoroughly established in New England 

 are not distinguished in this way. The 

 Gryllidae need revision. 



I add at the end a list of the species 



recorded in 1862 and their correspond- 

 ing names in the present list ; three 

 quarters of them have been changed. 

 The prefixed figures refer to the pages 

 of the original paper. 



FORFICULIDAE. 



*ForJiciila pcrcheroni (jWY. Known 

 in New England only by a specimen in 

 the Harris collection, marked by him 

 as taken May 30, presumably in the 

 vicinity of Boston. Probably an acci- 

 dental seaport importation from the 

 West Indies or South America. 



Labia tnhior (Linn.). Widely- 

 spread ; it has been taken in every one 

 of the states excepting Rhode Island ; 

 from eastern Massachusetts I have seen 

 specimens from alaout Boston, Cam- 

 bridge, Medford (Sanborn) and Bev- 

 erly (Burgess). Fernald reports it at 

 Amherst, Mass., flying to light. 



BLATTIDAE. 



Blattinae. 



Iscliiioptcra pcniisylvanica (De 

 Geer ). The only new England speci- 

 men I have seen was taken in Win- 

 throp, Mass. I have specimens, how-
