One of the females of this series has the tegmina of both 

 sides reduced to very small, slightly crumpled pads about two 

 millimetres in length. 



Melanoplus fasciatiis (F. Walker).^' 



New Buffalo, September 2, 1919, 3 females; July 5, 1920, 5 males, 

 I female, i immature specimen. 



Found in but one locality in the region studied. On Sep- 

 tember 9, 1919, three females were taken in company with 

 Melanoplus kceleri Inridus in an open grove containing white 

 oak, maple, white pine, and other trees, on a sandy ridge near 

 New Buffalo. These specimens were taken among the dead 

 leaves and low herbaceous undergrowth in the grove. On 

 July 5, 1920, six adults and one nymph were found around the 

 margins of this grove and in its more open portions. The 

 individuals were all widely scattered, this series being the result 

 of several hours' collecting. 



Melanoplus zualshii Scudder. 



Warren Woods, July 16, 1920, i male, i female. 

 Three Oaks (Klute"s lakes), September 4, 1920, i male, i immature 

 specimen. 



This species is apparently one of the least common of the 



Locustinae of this region. A single pair was taken near the 



Warren Woods Preserve, at the margin of a beech-maple 



forest, in dry grass among the clumps of raspberry bushes 



and tree seedlings which formed the bordering thicket. Search 



of about an hour's duration revealed only these two specimens. 



In the rank growth of nettles, ironwood, vines, and shrubbery 



in the low forest margin thicket at Klute's lakes a single male 



and one nymph were taken ; a female was seen near the male, 



but it escaped. These three specimens are all that were found 



in about forty-five minutes' collecting.
