Leptysma marginicoUis Serv. 



Miami. Both this species and the last were taken in a 

 swamp of reeds and coarse grass along the Miami River, 

 Schistocerca americana Dru. 



This species was taken at Key West, Miami and Palm Beach. 

 Schistocerca damnifica Sauss. 



One adult female taken at Orange City Junction. 



Melanoplas paroxyoides Scudd. 



Key West and Miami. One male from Miami has the elytra 

 slightly surpassing the tips of the posterior femora and the 

 hind tibiae are wholly glaucus, the base not luteous. This was 

 taken near the everglades back of Miami in a low wet locality, 

 such as is frequently inhabited by species of the genus Paroxya. 

 Two nymphs were taken in a similar locality. The hind tibiae 

 of the nymphs, at least in dried specimens, are brownish 

 rather than glaucus. 

 Aptenopedes aptera Scudd. 



Miami. 

 Aptenopedes clara Rehn. 



Two males from Miami. They agree with Rehn's descrip- 

 tion except the size is considerably less, the measurements 

 being as follows : 



Length pronotum, 3.5 ; elytra, 1.3 ; posterior femora, 9 mm. 

 Gonocephalns nietoi Sauss. 



One male taken at Miami in early March. It was singing 

 just after dark and was traced with much difficulty. It sounded 

 as if the songster was in a nearb)'^ bush, but as I approached 

 the sound receded. The insect was finally sighted half a block 

 down the street, and on the opposite side from where it at 

 first seemed to be. This specimen has the posterior portion 

 of the pronotum discolored as though acted upon \>y some 

 caustic agent, making conspicuous yellowish white stains on 

 the green surface. But it was present on the freshly captured 

 specimen and was not done after capture. 

 Atlanticns dorsalis Burm. 



Nymphs at Jacksonville and Miami. 

 Gryllns pennsylvanicns Burm. 



Both long and short winged adults and several nymphs 

 taken at Orange City Junction.
