SCUDDER. NORTH AMERICAN CEUTHOPHILI. 23 



Short, Proctor's, Little Lithographic, and Sugar Bowl caves, and a 

 cave under Gardiner's Knob, all near Glasgow Junction ; also a 

 cave near Baker's Furnace, and John and Fred's Cave on the east 

 bank of Dismal Creek ; further in Carter County caves, viz. Gray 

 Tom's, Zwingle's, Bat, Van Meter's, Grayson Springs, and Burchell's 

 caves ; and finally in Nickajack Cave, Tenn. Blatchley also reports it 

 from Wyandotte Cave, Ind., on the authority of Cope, but it is not so 

 given by Cope in the references quoted ; and Walker, of course in 

 error, from the " west coast of America " ! I have also seen specimens 

 in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, from Turner's 

 Caves, Pennington Gap, Lee County, Va. (H. G. Hubbard), and 

 Ely Cave, Lee County, Va. (N. S. Shaler).

This is one of the dominant American genera of Locustariae, con- 

 fined to North America and almost entirely to the United States, 

 embracing a large number of species in every section of the country, 

 of which fifty-five are here characterized. Several others are known 

 to me by single specimens or mutilated examples. The following 

 table is based principally upon the males. It has been impossible to 

 construct it so as to bring together the allied species, whose relation- 

 ship is better shown by the order in which they are described, though 

 even here the arrangement is far from satisfactory, nearly allied 

 species being sometimes separated at considerable distances in order to 

 bring them in closer relation with other allies. Although I have had 

 six hundred and fifty examples to study at this time, besides others in 

 alcohol, the material is still insufficient to make a satisfactory disposi- 

 tion of our species, and I am confident that very many more yet 

 remain to be discovered.
