37. Syrbula leucocerca Stael. Barber Co. and Topeka (Cragin) ; Mc- 



Plierson Co. (Rundstrom). 



This is probably but a variety of the next species from which it differs 

 only in color. The malrs of both species are indistinguishable, and there 

 a i- e intermediate specimens to be found, in which the colors are not those 

 of typical specimens of either species. Saussure has described a third 

 species Oxycrtryphus montezuma from Mexico (Rev. et Mag. Zool., 

 Vol. XIII (1861), p. 316) which Dr. Stael says also belongs t,o this genus. 

 From the description. I should judge that this species may also be but a 

 variety of admiraiilis, or rather the reverse, since Saussure's description 

 has priority. 



38. Syrbula admirabiiis Uhier.-- This locust is represented by speci- 

 mens from Barber Co. (Cragin) ; Topeka (Mrs. Cragin) ; McPherson Co. 

 (litindstroin), and Labette Co. (Newlon). 



Dr. Newlon 's specimen was incorrectly labeled Tragocephala viridi- 

 f'lsciata. This latter insect belongs to the OEdipodini the subfamily or 

 group to which the colored winged locusts belong, while Syrbula admira- 

 biiis is a member of the Trux'ilini group, or those with cone-like heads. 



39. Chrysochraon viridis Scudd. Topeka (Mrs. Cragin) ; Barber Co. 

 (Cragin). 



Both the brown and green varieties are represented in the collection. 



40. stenobothrus coioradus Thos. The collection contains but a single 

 specimen, a female, from Barber Co. (Cragin). 



This species docs not properly belong in this genus, but has been placed 

 there by Dr. Thomas, and has remained there ever since. It was first de- 

 scribed (Geol. Survey Terr., 1871, p. 465) as St. bicolor, a name which 

 was already used in the genus, and was accordingly changed to the present 

 name. 



41. sK'iiobothms requaiis Scudd. McPherson Co. (Rundstrom) ; To- 

 peka (Miss Becker, Mrs. Cragin, Prof. Cragin); Labette Co. (Newlon); 

 Shawnee Co. (Cragin); Reno Co. (L. A. and' H. P. O'Hara); Barber Co. 

 (Cragin). 



Dr. Newlon's specimen was labeled Chloealtis conspersa. As will be 

 noticed by reference to the specimens, this species occurs in two colors, 

 and is also very variable in size and general appearance. 



42. Steiiobothrus maciilipennls Scudd. Barber Co. (Cragin). 



43. Arphia tenebrosa Scudd. There are several larvae of this species 

 in the material collected in Barber Co. (Cragin). 



44. Arphia carinata Scudd. Topeka (Miss Becker. Mrs. Cragin) J 

 Shawnee Co., Barber Co. (Cragin) ; McPherson Co. (Rundstrom). 



45. Arphia simplex Scudd. Labette Co. (Newlon) ; Topeka (Cragin). 



46. Chimarocephala viridifasciata De Geer. The collection contains 

 specimens of this much described locust, from Labette Co. (Newlon), and 

 from Topeka (Cragin). 



There are examples of variety virginiuna and also of infuscata. both of 

 which occur throughout its entire range, which extends from Manitoba to 

 Central America, The farther northward we go, the fewer mottlings do
