longipes Caudell, the latter, however, paid no attention to them. The 

 faet that the.se female crickets were attracted to the .stridulation of males 

 of another o-enus and species and that careful search during two summers 

 entirely failed to discover any males is interesting. The absence of 

 males makes it ditficult, if not imi)ossil)le, to determine the species of 

 these female crickets.

Conocephalus fasciatus Detieer, 177.'i. The JSlender Meadow Grass- 

 hojjper. 



Geer, de Karel. Mem. Hist. Ins., Ill, p. 458 (1773). 



Very few specimens of the species in this subfamily have been col- 

 lected in British Columbia during the past few years and it i.s hard to 

 say, until long series have been obtained, whether this species is at all 

 common in the Province or whether it is entirely replaced by Conoce- 

 phalus fasciatus vicinus Morse.

Scudderia furcata Brunner, 1878. The Forked-tailed Bush-Katydid. 



Brunner, von Wattenwyl, Carl. Monogr. Phaner., p. 239 (1878). 



This is the only species of Scudderia that has been recorded from 

 Britisli Columbia. It is fairly common in the apple orchards throughout 

 the Okanagan Valley, but has not been recorded to the north of the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway.

Family 7. GEYLLIDAE 

 (The Crickets) 

 We may define tlie British Columbia Gryllidae as.- Orthoptera with 

 slender, usually long antennae. Auditory organs on the fore tibiae, and 

 stridulatory organs on the wing covers of the males. The.y differ from 

 till' Tettigoniidae in having but three segments to the tai-si. and an awl- 

 likc (jr needle-like ovipositor. They are mainly nocturnal.
