17. cupreus, Edw. Very rare, known only from Mt. Shasta and Oregon. 
18. snowi, Edw. Occur.s in Colorado, Ilritish America and Alberta, at high 
altitudes. In Colorado the food jilant is Oxyria digyna. 
19. rubidus, Edw. Elies in Utah, Nebraska, Oregon, Nevada and Montana. 
The var. sirius, Edw., is said to range from ^Montana to Arizona and to Ft. INIcCleod,

A NEW LOCUSTID FROM NAN'FUCKET. 
BY H. T. FERN.YLD, PH. D., .YMHEKST, SIAS.S. 
Five days of collecting on Nantucket Island from the fifth to the tenth of last 
September brought to light several interesting insects, among them being a nymjih 
of Dissosteira Carolina in which the front ami rear margins of the pronotum are 
turned upward giving the plate much the appearance of a riding saddle. One day 
while collecting back of the town near the old cemetery 1 also noticed a green locustid, 
entirely brachypterous, which nevertheless had its well developed ovipositor so 
firmly wedged into a somewhat weathered board forming one rail of a fence that it 
required some force to extract it. (_)n another day while collecting within a mile of 
this place a brachypterous male and a partly brachypterous female were captured 
and placed in my boxes. 
Recently through the kindness of Prof. A. P. [Morse of Wellesley I learn that 
though the partly winged specimen last named is an immature Scaddcria the other 
two are Lcptophye.s punclati.'f.nma Bose, which he states has never before been reported 
from this country though well known in Europe. There can be no doubt of the 
correct determination of these insects as Prof. [Morse comjiared them with European 
specimens in the Scudder collection. The specimens arc now in Prof. Morse’s col- 
lection. 
How this species reached Nantucket and how long it has occurred there can 
probably only be topics for sjieculation, but as little attention was paid to the Orthop- 
tera in collecting it would seem probable that it is at least fairly common there.
