81. Velvet-striped Locust, Eritettix simplex Scudder. 

 Rare. Walden records it from several points in southern Con- 



necticvit on light dry soil with but little vegetation, such as aban- 

 doned fields and dry pastures. Adults are recorded on Oct. 31 

 and from May 25 to June 30. They apparently hibernate. 



82. Bicolored Locust, Dichromorpha viridis Scudder. 

 Common in southern New England (except southeastern Mass.) 



from late July onward, often locally abundant in Connecticut. 

 Most plentiful in damp pastures and mowing-lands in dense suc- 

 culent grass. It has decidedly increased in numbers in the vicinity 

 of Boston within the last twenty-five years, apparently spreading 

 northeastward. 



83. Pasture Locust, Orphulella speciosa Scudder. 

 Found throughout the Transition and Austral areas of New 

 England from Grand Lake Stream, Orono, and Norway, Me., 

 southward, including Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard. Common 

 locally, abundant southward. Generally distributed on dry 

 soils. Adults appear early in July and are common until October. 



84. Spotte<i- winged Locust, Orphulella pelidna Burmeister. 

 Widely distributed over southeastern third of New England 

 on sandy soils. Abundant southward, especially coastwise, but 

 unknown as yet from north of Massachusetts. Adults begin to 

 appear a little later than the preceding species. 



85. Saltmarsh Locust, Orphulella olivacea Morse. 

 Locally plentiful on saltmarshes on the Connecticut shore. 

 Known from New Haven, Stratford, Stamford, and Greenwich, 

 from August 11 to 28. Continued collecting coastwise will prob- 

 ably greatly extend dates of capture and New England distri- 

 bution record. 



86. Sprinkled Locust, Chlcealtis conspersa Harris. 

 Locally common throughout New England from late June on- 

 ward, particularly in July in bushy pastures and along the edges 

 of woodlands. Eggs are laid in wood-stumps, boards, rails, etc. 



87. Meadow Locust, Chorthippus curtipennis Harris. 

 Common, often abundant locally, throughout New England. 

 In damp places, meadows, saltmarshes, brooksides, ditch borders,
