NORTH AMERICAN ACRIDIID^E. 31 



Transition (and Canadian ?) zone. A northern offshoot of an 

 austral genus, adapted to more boreal conditions. It is exceedingly 

 plentiful in the Northeastern States, but was met with only sparingly 

 at the localities named. Campestral, inhabiting by preference 

 grassy fields on sandy soil. 



Orphulella pelidna Burm. 



All the remaining adult specimens of this genus which were 

 secured I refer to this species. Numerous immature specimens in 

 the fourth and fifth stages, and a few younger, were also taken at 

 many of the localities named, and probably belong chiefly or ex- 

 clusively to this species. The data given below are based entirely 

 on adults.
