Not Oedipoda phoenicoptera Germ. 



I have seen the type of Oe. obliterata 

 in the Halle Museum or what may be 

 regarded as the same, a $ from South 

 Carolina, Zimmermann, labelled "oblit- 

 erata" in Burmeister's handwriting. I 

 have also seen in the Jardin des Plantes 

 a specimen marked as Blanchard's Oe. 

 pulchripennis Ms. As stated above, 

 under H. phoenicopterus, I have also 

 seen the type of that species at the 

 Halle Museum, and have been able to 

 correct my former error regarding this 

 species. A pair of specimens of H. 

 tubcrculatiis together with one of a dis- 

 tinct genus were seen by me in the 

 Hunterian Museum at Glasgow marked 



Gr. obscurus Fabr. which is Dissos- 

 teira saucia, an Old World species. 



This is a northern species, common 

 in the spring in all the northern states 

 and throughout Canada as far north as 

 the arctic region. I have seen many 



specimens from the upper McKenzie, 

 and Great Slave Lake, collected by 

 Kennicott, and others collected by Rich- 

 ardson's party are in the British Mu- 

 seum which also reports it from Hudson 

 Bay. North of our boundaries it is 

 found from Nova Scotia (Jones) on the 

 east to the Red River of the North 



(Scudder, Dawson), and Calgarry, 

 Alberta (Bean in Henshavv's collection) , 

 and in our own country occurs as far 

 west as Dakota and Montana (Thomas) 

 the Big Horn Mountains and Ft. Mc- 

 Kinney in Wyoming and the Black 

 Hills of S. Dakota (Brunei- in litt.), 

 and is stated to be found on the west 

 coast of North America by Walker ; if 

 so, this is probably north of our boun- 

 dary. In the United States it is found 

 in the east as far south as the middle 

 states, — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and 

 the District of Columbia (Walker, Os- 

 ten Sacken, Bruner, Coll. Am. ent. 

 soc.) in some abundance, and is re- 

 ported also from South Carolina (Zim- 

 mermann) and Florida (Saussure, 

 Walker), where it must be rare ; and in 

 the west, in Missouri and at Topeka, 

 Kansas (Bruner in litt.), in Nebraska 

 (Thomas), Lincoln, all eastern Ne- 

 braska and Holt County and other parts 

 of the Sand Hill region north of Platte 

 River, Nebr. (Bruner in litt.), Missouri 

 (Saussure, Austin), and Colorado
