3. STEXOBOTHRUS CURTTPEXXIS, Harr. 



Syn. Locusta curtipennis, Harr., Cat. Ins. Mass. 56. 

 Chloealtis curtipennis, Harr., Rep. 3d ed. 184. 

 Stenobothrus longipennis, Scudd., Boat. Jour. Xat. Hist. 1862, vol. vii, 457. 



At various points. 



4. STEXOBOTHRUS MACULIPKXXIS, (No. 86.) 



(EDIPODINI. 



5. TRAGOCEFIIALA VIRIDIFASCIATA, Harr. 



In the Rio Conejos Valley numbers were observed. 



6. TRAGOCEPHALA PACIFICA ?, Tlios. 



Tragocephala pacifica, Thos., Syn. Acrid. X. Am. 161. 



From camps along the Rio Conejos and. Rio Chama, July, 1877. Elevations 7,000 to 

 9, 000 feet ; abundant. 9 probably viridifasciata, but possibly pacified; as the disk of 

 the pronotum is distinctly granulated; the median carina in the foveola of the vertex 

 is distinct, extending into the sulcus of the frontal costa. No. 10, 98-109 inclusive. 



7. TOMONOTUS SULPHUREUS, g . 



Colors very strong (the dark portion of the wings apparently larger in proportion 

 to the yellow than usual?). 63-65; 64 9. 



8. TOMONOTUS TEXKBROSUS, Scudd., $. 



Syn. (Edipoda tenebrosa, S&amp;lt;Midd., Hayden s Geol. Surv. Xeb. 251 



Tomonotus pseudo-neictanus, Thos., Proc. Acad Xat. Sci. Phila. 1870, 80. 



Tomonotus tenebrosus, Thos., Syn. Acrid. X. Am. 107. 



Arphia ganguinaria?, Stal, Receu. Orth. 119. 



Arphia tenebrosa, Scudd., Bui. TJ. S. Geol. Surv. 1876. 



Arphia simplex?, Scudd., Proc. Bo.st. Soc. Xat Hist, xvii, 1874. 5. 



Arphia conspersa?, Scudd., Proc. Bost. Soc. Xat. Hist, xvii, 1874, 5. 



Arphia luteola?, Scudd., Proc. Bost. Soc. Xat. Hist, xvii, 1874, 5. 



There is really but little difference between this species and T. sulphured except the 

 color of the wings, and T. carinata of Scudder appears to form a connecting link. 66. 

 (95-60 & 77-57 9.) (!&amp;lt;?.) 



9. ARPHIA XEGLECTA. 



Syn.CEdipoda ncglerta. Thos.. Proc. Acad. Xat. Sci. Phila. 1870. 276. 



Arphia neglecta, Scudd., Uul. U. S. Geol. Surv. 1871, 40. (Xo. 12.) 



10. ClRCOTETTIX UXDULATA. 



Syn. (Edipoda undulata, Thos., Geul. Surv. Terr. 1871, 46. (Xos. 62 7o.) 



11. MESTOBREGMA PLATTEI, ?. 



Syu. (Edipoda plattei^ Thos., Syn. Acrid. 123 



Tlie specimens being in Color show the wings to be a bright yellow at the base ; the 

 dash-band is very distinct black, and occupying about 3 of the length of the wings. 



12. MESTOBREGMA KIOWA, Thos., &amp;lt;? . 



S&amp;gt;yn.(Edipnda Kiowa, Thos., Geol. Surv. Terr. 1871, 461.

T\vo or three specimens. These specimens enable me to make the following addition 

 to the description as given in my &quot;Synopsis of North American Acrididse.&quot; The median 

 carina of the pronotum may properly be described as somewhat prominent, the wings 

 pale lemon-yellow at the immediate base, the remaining portion of the wings being 

 transparent with dark nerves and nervules. It would probably have been better to 

 have made the specific nameplatteana. (No. 72.) Do. 9 Usually a broad flesh-colored 

 band extends obliquely across the face from the middle of the clypeus upward and 

 backward across the cheek toward the occiput. A black stripe runs obliquely down 

 ward and forward from the lower and hinder margin of each eye to the middle of the 

 lower part of the face, where those from the opposite sides meet. The vertex above this 

 is a dull flesh-color. 88-58. Do. 9, (84-57), (93-59). 



13. SPHARANGEMOX COLLARE, Scudd.
