1919] Morse— New Records of Orthoptera in New England 17 



laid eggs after capture. An immature female was taken at the 

 same place and time. 



Amblycorypha floridana carinata Rehn and Hebard. Half a 

 dozen examples of this northern race of a southern katydid are 

 recorded by Rehn and Hebard from Nantucket and Woods Hole, 

 Mass. 



Scudderia curvicauda boreaUs Rehn and Hebard. This is a 

 diminutive boreal race of our common Curve-tailed Bush-Katydid. 

 I took a very few examples at Orono in central, and Cherryfield 

 and Whitney ville in eastern Maine, August 5 to 30, 1913. These 

 were found among shrubbery on cold, heath-grown bogs. 



Conccephalus spartince Fox. This brightly-colored little long- 

 horned grasshopper is locally abundant on saltmarshes along the 

 New England coast. Fox described it from Woods Hole, Mass. 

 I took it years ago at Stamford and Niantic, Conn.; at Faneuil 

 Station, Mass., before the construction of the Charles River Basin 

 and the freshening of the marsh at that point; and more recently 

 at Rowley, Mass., and York Beach and Pine Point near Old Or- 

 chard, Me. It is in the Scudder collection from Cape Cod. It 

 thus agrees closely in extent of distribution in New England with 

 the Seaside Locust, Trimerotropis maritima. 



Conocephalus saltans Scudder. Locally common on the sandy 

 moors of Nantucket, Mass., among bunchgrass (Andropogon 

 scoparius), wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria), and huckleberry 

 bushes. The presence of this flightless grasshopper on Nantucket 

 is of especial significance in its bearing on the geological conditions 

 which resulted in the dispersal and present distribution of the 

 characteristic plants and animals of the sandy coast-plain of New 

 Jersey northeastward. 



Diestrammena marmorata DeHaan. This Asiatic cave- or camel- 

 cricket has established itself from time to time in greenhouses and 

 cellars nearly all over the world. It has been sent me from Kenne- 

 bunk, Me., and Springfield, Mass., and I have taken it in numbers 

 at Danvers, Mass., a locality first called to my attention by the late 

 Rev. H. W. Winkley. 



Ceutkophilus gracilipes var. stygius Scudder. A male, taken 

 at Beverly, Mass., is in the collection of the Boston Society of 

 Natural History.
