localities. The species is especially characteristic of the dense thickets 
of tall ragweeds, Ambrosia trifida, which abound in all moist areas and 
are especially frequent about the boggy spots at the foot of the bluffs along 
the outer edge of the stream bottoms. The earliest nymph stages appear to 
be limited entirely to bogs and the surrounding thickets, but as the grass- 
hoppers increase in size they wander from these haunts into the adjoin- 
ing fields and uplands. The adults appeared early in August and _ per- 
sisted to about the middle of October. 
August 9, adults noted in thickets bordering a bog along the outer 
edge of the Wabash bottoms near West Lafayette (6); also in thickets of 
Melilotus alba on the upland (8); August 9, common in bog border vege- 
tation in or near low woods on Burnett Creek (2); August 20, common in 
Homalocenchrus oryzoides bog and adjoining thickets of Ambrosia trifida 
and associated plants at the base of the bluff at outer margin of the 
Wabash bottoms near West Lafayette (6) ; August 30, abundant in similar 
situations and corn fields on the Wabash bottoms near Battle Ground (16) ; 
September 6, abundant in the same kind of environment at the base ot 
the bluffs near Wild Cat Creek (10); September 18, common in thickets 
and grassy tangles along Burnett Creek (2); October 13, common in 
herbaceous thickets surrounding a cat-tail swamp on the upland north- 
west of West Lafayette (14). 
Paroxya hoosieri (Blatchley). Found August 30 in considerable nuim- 
bers in a bog dominated by Homalocenchrus oryzoides and Impatiens at the 
base of a bluff along the outer margin of the Wabash bottoms opposite 
Battle Ground (16); not found elsewhere. 
Scudderia terensis Saussure-Victet. Apparently scarce as only a few 
specimens were secured. 
July 22, a male taken in timothy patch on waste lot on Purdue [Ex- 
perimental Farm (3); July 26, a female taken, location not recorded ; 
September 6, a female, apparently this species, taken in high thicket at 
the base of wooded bluff near Wild Cat Creek (10). 
Scudderia furcata Brunner. Only a few examples found. August 9,

in low woods along Burnett Creek (2); August 12, a male taken in a 
grassy roadside ditch near a small stream between Lafayette and Mont- 
morenci (12); August 20, two males and an equal number of females 
taken in a Homalocenchrus oryzoides bog at outer edge of Wabash bot-
