quently it may occur along the grassy borders of open woodland. I have 
taken it in areas occupied by blue grass (Poa pratense), timothy (Phleuwm 
pratense), ved-top (Tridens flava) and bunch-grass (Andropogon scopa- 
rius and furcatus). I have the following records: July 28, 2 nymphs in 
dense patch of Bromus on Purdue Experimental Grounds (3); July 26, 
hymphs fairly frequent in timothy stubble on Purdue Experimental 
grounds (3); August 1, adults, especially males, frequent and nymphs 
common in grassy roadside patch (timothy-blue grass) on upland slope 
(4) north of Lafayette; also in dry blue grass and l’oa compressa in field 
at “the tank” (5); August 20, several males in open field dominated by 
Tridens flava along outer margin of the Wabash bottoms below West 
Lafayette (6); August 24, frequently within the borders of dry open 
woodland on the top of the bluffs at the head of a ravine (8S) about half- 
way between West Lafayette and the mouth of Indian Creek, chiefly in 
dry blue-grass, and associated with Arphia «anthoptera, Spharagemon 
bolli, Encoptolophus sordidus and Melanoplus luridus; August 30, fre- 
quent in roadside and fence-row grasses, especially in a patch of T'ridens 
fara and Andropogon furcatus about a half mile southeast of Battle 
Ground (9); September 1, of Common occurrence in grassy uplands at 
head of “Happy Hollow” (5) occurring in blue grass, wire-grass (Poa 
compressa) and Andropogon furcatus and scoparius ; October 4, appears to 
be getting scarce now on the Station grounds (8); October 26, a single 
female seen in dense patch of Poa compressa in locality 5; October 381, a 
dead female found on cement sidewalk on Experimental Station grounds 
(3). 
Orphulella speciosa (Seudder). Apparently very rare, only four speci- 
mens having been seen or taken throughout the entire season. These 
occurred in dry, open, grassy tracts on untilled land. 
July 22, two females taken in timothy stubble in waste lot on Purdue 
Mxperimental Grounds (3); in both of these the tegmina are longer than 
the abdomen and their tips reach the tips of the hind femora. One female 
has the discoidal area of the tegmina occupied in part by a double row of 
cells, a character of its congener pelidna; the specimen, however, is un- 
questionably speciosa, August 1, a male taken in Poa compressa in a field 
at “the tank” (5). September 1, a male taken in patch of Andropogon on 
upland at the head of Happy Hollow (5). 
Dichromorpha viridis (Scudder). Appears to be only moderately fre- 
quent and is largely restricted to damp situations within or along the
