All three of the males were taken at night among the shrub- 

 iDer}' along the margin of a second growth woods, and in a 

 grassy field of second growth scrub on a cleared portion of 

 the Galien River flood-plain, in the vicinity of bushes and 

 shrubs, rather close to the ground, in company with Neocono- 

 cephalus ensiger. Both species were stridulating ; the song of 

 nebrascensis is lower and somewhat softer than that of ensiger, 

 each note being several times as long as the short, sharp ones 

 of that species ; when one is close to the insect there is plainly 

 audible a kind of clear, resonant humming which is altogether 

 lacking in the song of ensiger. Nebrascensis was much less 

 common than ensiger in this vicinity. 



The immature female is placed here with much doubt ; Rehn 

 was unwilling to name -it, and wrote that "the lateral outline 

 of the pronotum is not as in an allotypic female."

This is the most common species of the genus in this region. 

 It is found in fields of second growth scrub, in shrubbery 

 along roadsides and in the margins of woods, in thickets of
