Sawyer Dunes specimens were taken among a thick growth 

 of herbage on the moist sandy flats around the margins of one 

 of the dune ponds. The first adult specimen was taken June 

 30 ; adults were still common September 9. 



Mclanoplus gracilis (Bruner). 



Warren Woods, September 3, 1919, 2 females. 



New Buffalo, September 2, 1919, 7 males, 5 females ; September 9, 



1920, 5 males. 

 Three Oaks (Klute's lakes), September 4, 1920, 7 males, 4 females, 



I immature female. 

 Lakeside, July 13, 1920, i female. 



Rather common in rank herbage and weed thickets, usually 

 on low, moist ground. At New Buffalo it was common around 

 the margins of the lizard's tail marsh, among the trampled 

 vegetation of grasses and sedges, and among the weeds and 

 low bushes on' its borders ; but thorough beating of the vege- 

 tation in the w^etter portions failed to reveal any specimens 

 there. Others were taken in a thicket of tall weeds, low bushes, 

 and grapevines, and at Lakeside from a luxuriant growth of 

 ironweed and nettles along the roadside. On September 4, in 

 the low forest margin thicket at Klute's lakes, among the rank 

 herbaceous growth of ironweed, nettles, vines, and low shrub- 

 bery, it was more numerous than in any other locality where 

 collecting was done ; nymphs were even more common than 

 adults on this date. 



Mclanophis znridipcs Scudder. 



Warren Woods, June 23 to July 2, 1919. 17 males, 9 females; July

 New Buffalo, September 9. 1920, i male, i female. 



This species is closely restricted to open woods and forest 

 margin habitats. It was taken in the open, grassy margins of 

 the Warren Woods in considerable numbers in the early part 

 of the season. Other specimens were found among forest
