J'SVCHE. 



[April. 1901 



Texas (Aaron), excepting a small fe- 

 male from Las Cruces, N. Mex. (Cock- 

 erell). It is perhaps this species to 

 which Gosse alludes (Lett. Alab., 275) 

 as the larger of two species found in 

 Alabama. It varies somewhat in size, 

 two males before me being respectively 

 go and 125 mm. in length. The species 

 is figured of half natural length in Har- 

 per's Magazine, vol. Ixxxviii. p. 457. 



Diapheromera Carolina sp. nov. 



J. stouter than D. Jenioratti, testaceo- 

 castaneous, glistening, tlie tliorax with a 

 rather broad median bronze-fuscous stripe, 

 not reaching the median segment, and inter- 

 rupted at the posterior end of the mesono- 

 tum, the tore legs greenish, the antennae 

 testaceous ; thorax with excessively fine 

 transverse striation. Mesothorax and meta- 

 thorax (including median segment) of similar 

 length. Seventh and eighth abdominal seg- 

 ments of subequal length, each faintly en- 

 larging from base, the ninth a little shorter, 

 apically inflated and snbglobose, nearly half 

 as broad again at ape.x as at base, the cerci 

 much as in D. femorata^ but stouter, more 

 compressed and without basal tooth. 



Lengtli of body, 67 mm. ; head, 3 mm. ; 

 mesothorax, 13.5 mm. ; fore femora, J0.5 

 mm.; middle femora, 14.5 mm. ; liind femora, 

 19.5 mm. 



I ^. North Carolina (Morrison). 



In most features this species stands 

 nearly intermediate between D. ih-nikms 

 and D.fcmorata.

Originally described from the ''United 

 States," Niagara and the Missouri River 

 being specified. I have seen specimens 

 from Front's Neck, Me., Vermont, vie. 

 Boston, Massachusetts, Prescott, Ont. 

 (Billings), New York, Niagara Falls, 

 Maryland (Uhler), Mrginia, Illinois, 

 Manitoba, Jefterson, Dallas Co. and Den- 

 ison, Iowa (Allen), St. Louis, Mo., 

 Dallas, Tex. (Boll) and Ringgold 

 Barracks, Tex, (Schott). It has also 

 been reported, but perhaps sometimes 

 by mistake for the next species, 

 from Montreal (Caulfield), New 

 Hampshire (Scudder), New Jersey 

 (Say, Smith), Pennsylvania (de Haan), 

 Wisconsin (Walsh and Riley), Min- 

 iresota (Lugger), Kansas and Ne- 

 braska (Bruner), Kentucky (Garraan), 

 Indiana (Blatchley) , South Carolina (de 

 Haan) , Tennessee (de Haan, Saussure), 

 Alabama (Gosse), New Mexico and 

 Mexico ( Haldeman) .
