ORTHOPTERA. 221 



15. Chortophaga viridifasciata De Geer. Common 



after March 7th, on grassy slopes in old fields 

 and orchards. The median carina of prono- 

 tum is higher and the mottling of green and 

 fuscous much more pronounced than in north- 

 ern specimens. Its range includes the United 

 States east of the Rocky Mountains. 



16. Scirtettica picta Scudd. This handsome species 



occurs sparingly on bare sandy places in old 

 fields and roads. It was described from Flor- 

 ida and has been taken at several points in 

 the State. 



17. Psinidia fenestralis Serv. This is also a sand 



loving species and was frequently taken in 

 company with the preceding after March 7th. 

 It ranges over the entire eastern United 

 States. 



18. Trimerotropis cih*ina Scudd. One female was 



taken on March 12th, from a sandy roadside. 

 ~No others were seen. Its range is given by 

 Scudder as Manitoba to Texas. 



19. Dictyopliorus reticuLatus Thunb. The nymphs 



of this lubber locust were abundant on weeds 

 along road&ides and pathways, after March 

 20th. It probably reaches maturity at Or- 

 mond about May 1st. 



20. Scliistorcerca americana Drury. Quite frequent 



in old orchards and gardens throughout my 

 stay. Its range covers the United States east 

 of the Great Plains.
