NORTH AMERICAN ACRIDIID^E. 25 



Austral and Transition zones. Widely, rather than generally 

 distributed. It is seemingly most at home in the damper portions 

 of upland fields on sandy loam, under which conditions it is some- 

 times locally abundant in the Northern States. In the South it was 

 found on the same kind of soil, chiefly at low elevations, the young 

 at this season of the year decidedly outnumbering the adults.

Austral and Transition zones of the Southeastern States, some- 

 times occurring in adjoining portions of Canadian zone. Generally 

 distributed; plentiful, sometimes abundant locally, preferring rather 

 moist soils and sandy loam. This is one of the characteristic 

 species of the Southeastern States, and is very common in the adult 

 stage during the summer. The relative proportion of the long- 

 winged and short-winged forms varies very much in different 

 localities, a series of 152 specimens from Waycross, Ga., containing 

 equal numbers ; but the usual proportion of long- winged examples 

 is much lower, ranging from 5 to 20 per cent. 



Neotettix bolteri Hanc. 



Florida: Fort Barrancas, Aug. 3; Tallahassee, Aug. 8, (juv.); Warrington,

Thus far known only from Florida, but will very likely be 

 found to occur in the Lower Austral zone of the adjoining States.
