NO. l6.] ORTHOPTERA OF CONNECTICUT. l6l 



the testaceous head and thorax, and marks on basal joints of 

 the antennae. This insect lives only on pine trees, and usually on 

 high branches." Beutenmuller. 



QL. pini was described from specimens collected at West 

 Woodstock, September, 1893, by W. Beutenmuller. 



Xabea Walker. 



This genus is closely related to (Ecanthus, but may be dis- 

 tinguished as follows : Antennae without black markings, the 

 basal joint with a blunt tooth on the under side. The veins of 

 tegmina of female are more irregular than those in (Ecanthus. 

 T,he oblique longitudinal veins not conspicuous. Wings about 

 twice as long as tegmina. Hind tibiae with apical spines only. 

 Tarsi 3- jointed, the second joint very short. 



X. bipunctata DeGeer. Two-spotted Tree Cricket. 



General color pinkish white to pinkish brown ; a rather large 

 blackish spot near the base of the tegmina in the female and 

 another near the center; tegmina of male without spots. Wings 

 very long, about 20 mm. Quite rare, and readily recognized 

 by the color and the dark spots on the tegmina of the female.

TRIGONIDIIN^:. 



Crickets of very small size. The second tarsal joint is de- 

 pressed and heart-shaped instead of compressed. The calling 

 organ of the male is more simple than in the preceding crickets, 

 being crossed by a single oblique vein. The ovipositor is short, 

 compressed, and sabre-like. 



Anaxipha Saussure. 



The members of this genus look like small Nemobiids, but 



the females are distinguished by the compressed and strongly 



upcurved ovipositor, which somewhat resembles that of some of 



the Locustidcc. The antennas are very long and bristle-like.
