NEW ENGLAND RECORDS FOR ERITETTIX CARINATUS 

 SCUDDER AND CONOCEPHALUS TRIOPS LINN. 



BY W. E. BRITTON, NEW HAVEN, CONN. 



The following species of Orthoptera, from the collection of the Connecticut 

 Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, the writer believes have not 

 hitherto been reported from Connecticut. Mr. A. P. Morse of Wellesley, Mass. 

 has recently examined the doubtful material which the collection contained in this 

 order, and I am indebted to him for making the determinations. 



Eritettix carinatus Scudder. 



Two adults : one taken by my assistant, Mr. B. H. Walden, at Southington 

 June 30, 1903, in a dry field of grass and weeds. The other was taken at New Haven, 

 June 16, 1902, by Mr. E. J. S. Moore, a temporary field assistant. Mr. Moore also 

 took half grown specimens on October 31, 1902, at Mt. Carmel, nine miles north 

 of New Haven, and on October 30, and November 2, 1902, at Maltby Park, in the 

 town of Orange about three miles west of New Haven. Mr. Morse states {in Lift.) 

 that this is the first New England record for the species. 



Co?wcephalus triops Linn. 



A single specimen taken by Mr. Walden in dry open fields near the Experi- 

 ment Station at New Haven, October 3, 1902. This is the first undoubtedly native 

 example to be recorded.

This is distinctly the best account of the orthopterous fauna of a single state, 

 prepared by a state ofiicial, and issued by the state, that has yet appeared, and 

 forms an excellent example for others to follow. A similar work from each of the
