Mermiria bivittata Serville. 

 Alabama: Cheaha Mountain. 

 Mississippi: (Biloxi, juv. 3, 4) ; (Hattiesburg, juv. 4) ; Nugent (juv. 3, 



4, 5). 



Indian Territory: Caddo; South McAlester; Wilburton. 

 Texas: Amarillo; Bonita; Clarendon; Denison; Quanah; St. Jo; Wichita

 Oklahoma: Cache; Mountain Park; base of Mount Sheridan. 



This is a common, widely distributed, and rather variable species, 

 which inhabits patches of bunch-grass (Andropogon, Chrysopogon, etc.), 

 occurring in either wet or dry situations, but is usually more abundant 

 in the latter (pi. 3, fig. i). The pale submarginal stripe on the teg- 

 mina varies from bright apple-green through greenish white to clear 

 white, and is frequently lacking entirely in the male and either scarcely 

 discernible or very distinct in the female. Unstriped specimens seem 

 to be as widely distributed as striped ones. 



Mermiria neo-mcxicana Thomas. 



Indian Territory: Caddo (juv. 2, 3). 



Texas: Amarillo; Clarendon (juv. 5); Wichita Falls. 



Oklahoma: Cache; Mountain Park; base and summit of Mount Sheridan. 



This species is characteristic of the coarse grasses of the drier 

 parts of the prairie-plains and is often locally abundant. Its habitat 

 is well shown in foreground of plate 8, fig. 2.

Wichita Falls. 

 Oklahoma: Cache; Mountain Park; Shawnee; base and summit of Mount 



Sheridan. 



This is one of the commonest and most generally distributed 

 locusts in the South, occurring most abundantly among grasses in dry 

 stations and waste places. During July immature examples greatly 

 outnumbered adults, and various stages of the young were found 

 throughout August, according to latitude and altitude.
