Orphulella speciosa Scudder. 

 Alabama: Cheaha Mountain. 



A series of 9 males and 1 3 females was secured among the xero- 

 phytic vegetation of the summit of Cheaha Mountain. This is the 

 most southern point from which the species is recorded in the Kast. 

 The specimens taken vary from Northern examples in being larger 

 and having longer wings. 



Orphulella decora McNeill. 



Arkansas: Magazine Mountain; Winslow. 



Indian Territory: Haileyville; Howe; Wilburton. 



Texas: Denison. 



Oklahoma: Cache; Shawnee; summit of Mount Sheridan. 



Though local, this species is not uncommon in the denser growths 

 of grass in the damper parts of fields in the territory inhabited by it, 

 while picturata prefers the shorter growths of drier soils. In structure 

 there is a close parallelism between this species (or form) and the spec- 

 imens of speciosa from Cheaha Mountain, when compared with Northern 

 examples si speciosa. 



Dichromorpha viridis Scudder. 



Mississippi: Hattiesburg. 



Arkansas: Ashdown; Blue Mountain Station; Dardanelle; DeQueen; Eagle- 

 ton; Fayetteville ; Magazine Mountain; Mena; Ola; Rich Mountain; 

 Rich Mountain Station; Winslow. 



Indian Territory: Howe. 



Texas: Denison. 



Oklahoma: Shawnee. 



A widely distributed species of the humid part of the Austral 

 zones, somewhat local in habitat, occurring usually among dense 

 herbage in moist places, either fields, the edges of forests, the more 

 open woodlands, or the vicinity of springs and streams. 



Clinocephaltis elegans Morse. 



Mississippi: Biloxi (juv. 2, 3, 4, 5) ; Gulfport (juv. 5) ; Nugent (juv. 4, 5). 

 Louisiana: Milneburg. 



Common in the grass of swampy stations in woodland along the 

 Gulf shore, and extending as far north as the vicinity of New York. 



Chloealtis conspersa Harris. 



Arkansas: Magazine Mountain, 2,600 feet. 



A single male of this boreal species was secured in a rank growth 

 of bunch-grass (Andropogoii) in the border of a cultivated field sur- 

 rounded by woodland, a station exactly like its preferred haunts in 

 New England. This species deposits its eggs in decayed wood, hence 

 its preference for the neighborhood of woodland, fence-rows, etc.
