eastern part of United States. Our most western records are 
Iowa and Nebraska. The photographs show the difference 
between the short winged and long winged forms, also the ex- 
treme variations in the lengths of the antenne. 
Melanorhopola uniformis Stal (Plate VIII, Fig. f). 
This species, as we determined it, is quite closely allied to lurida. 
The photograph represents the South Dakota specimen listed in 
our Ohio bulletin. 
Melanorhophola lurida Stal (Plate VIII, Figs. h and q). 
Parshley has erroneously stated the length of the antennze of 
this species in his second paper. The antenne either slightly 
exceed, equal, or fall considerably short of the tip of the abdomen; 
the third segment is also more or less swollen near the apex. The 
lateral margins of the pronotum are either vertical or reflexed more 
or less against the surface of the pronotum. The form of lurida 
and uniformis is also very much confused and not based on speci- 
mens of the same sex. The male of lurida is narrow, but the female 
is as broad or broader than the female of uniformis. The male of 
uniformis is unknown -to us. The Figures f (uniformis) and g 
(lurida) illustrate the short winged females of the two species; 
Figure h is the macropterous male of lurida. The two specimens 
of lurida show almost the extreme variations in the length of the
