genus Amphitornus is that we have three nominal species, which may 

 prove to be geographic races of one, or one of them may be a synonym of 

 another. Of these, ornatus and nanus are vei-y close, nanus more ex- 

 treme in development than ornatus, but whether it will stand as a re- 

 cognizable race remains to be determined. British Columbia is appai'- 

 ently a point of intergradation of races or forms which have been sup- 

 posed to be distinct to the southward, how distinct remains to be ascer- 

 tained. Coloradus (or bicolor) is the Great Plains type; where it passes 

 into the otlier form or forms, if it does, is yet to be established."

This species was found to be common on the dry Bunch-grass flats 

 in the Southern Okanagan Valley in 1919. (This species was previously 

 incorrectly recorded by the writer as Akentetus unicolor McNeill in the 

 Report of the Ontario Entomological ISooiet.v, No. 36, p. 54, 1919).

A few specimens of this species were collected in 1919 on a small 

 patch of alkaline ground close to the Okanagan River near Pairview, on 

 what is now the townsite of Oliver, in the new Land Settlement area in 

 the. Southern Okanagan Valley. Both green and brown specimens were 

 secured. (Tliis species was previously incorrectly recorded by the 



writer, as Orphulella pelidna Burmeister, in the Report of the Ontario 

 Entomological Society, No. 36, p. 54, 1919). Mr. Rehn, to whom these 

 specimens were submitted for determination, says "This is a Great Basin 

 form, here at its northern known limit." It has been recorded from 

 Colorado by Gillette and from Utah by Scudder.

This is a fairly common and evenly distributed species throughout 

 the lightly timbered areas of the interior of the Province from the United 

 States Boundary to at least the 52nd parallel. 



All the females of this species that have as yet been seen from British 

 Columbia are brachypterous.
