20 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., ’08 
other determined species, bruneri, has been taken in late July 
and early August, and at least one of the specimens was taken 
in the house at night. It would seem from the above dates 
that fuscostriatus and mexicanus may possibly overwinter to 
some extent in the adult state, or possibly as large nymphs, the 
latter idea being supported somewhat by the fact that I have 
occasionally taken large Conocephali nymphs quite late in the 
season. A single unknown Conocephalus was brought me — 
to-day, December 7, 1907, by my little boy. 
Our four Orchelimums all seem to have about the same 
seasonal range, mid August to late October, but while nigripes 
is found here exclusively in the marshes, and vulgare on the 
uplands, glaberrimum and nitidum are found about equally in 
both situations. 
Of the five Xiphidii, fasciatum is found on the uplands in 
grassy fields from mid-July till early November, ensiferum in 
the same situations and in marshes, from mid-August till early 
November, saltans in the uplands from late September till 
early December, and strictum in long grass in both lowlands 
and uplands from mid-August to late September. Our fifth 
species, gossypii, has been taken in both marshes and uplands, 
but mostly at dusk on the flowering stems of the ornamental 
grass, Eulalia japonica variegata, in my garden. 
Subfamily SteNoPELMATINAE 
Our only species, Ceuthopilus uhleri, has been taken under 
stones in woods from mid-September to late February. 
Family GRYLLIDAE 
Subfamily GryLLoTALPINAE 
Of our two species, Gryllotalpa borealis has been found 
mainly in burrows near water when digging for any purpose 
in such situations, my only recorded dates being in April and 
May. Ellipes minuta has been taken on damp, loamy soil not 
far from a stream, in late April and in June. 
Subfamily MyrmMEcoPHILINAE 
Myrmecophila pergandei has been taken in ants’ nests under 
logs or under bark from late October till late March, but not 
yet in an ants’ nest under a stone.
