328 ORTHOPTERA OF NOVA SCDTIA. PIERS. 



Colour. — Reddish-brown, the abdomen mottled with pale spots; often 

 a light stripe on median dorsal area of pronotum, bordered by darker blotches; 

 legs lighter, the hind femora with obscure dark bars. 



Measurements. — Male: body, 13-14 mm.; pronotum, 4.5-5 mm.; fore 

 femora, 6.3 mm.; hind femora, 14.3 mm.; hind tibiaj, 15.5 mm. Female: 

 body, 14-15 mm.; pronotum, 4.3 mm.; fore femora, 6 mm.; hind femora, 

 13-14 mm.; hind tibise, 14 mm.; ovipositor, 7.5 mm. Newfoundland speci- 

 mens are reported to be very large for the species. 



Range. — Northern United States and Canada in eastern parts: north 

 to Newfoundland (Bay of Islands, etc., Hebard), Nova Scotia, Maine, New 

 Hamp., Mass.(?), Anticosti Isld., Isle d'Orleans (Que.),Ont. (north to Muskoka), 

 Keweenaw Bay (Lake Michigan), and Man. Blatchley has reported it from 

 Ind., and Walden very doubtfully from Conn. It seems to be conJBned to 

 the eastern part of the Canadian and Transition Zones. Scudder says it is 

 not uncommon in northern New England. 



Occurrence in Nova Scoita. — This northern species has 

 not previously been reported from Nova Scotia. C. B. 

 Gooderham informs me that he has three specimens of 

 C. terrestris, all taken at Truro, Col. Co., which were deter- 

 mined by Dr. E. M. Walker of Toronto, who has specially 

 studied this genus. Prof. Blatchley of Indianopolis, has 

 also verified the determination, so there is no doubt as to 

 the specific identity. Of Mr. Gooderham's specimens, a 

 male and a female were taken at Truro, Col. Co., on 6 Aug., 

 1913, and a male at the same place on 18 July, 1915. There 

 are no specimens in the Agricultural College collection, and 

 I have not noted it about Halifax. Gooderham refers to it as 

 very rare about Truro. It probably occurs in the adult 

 form from early in July, and should be searched for under 

 flat stones in the open woods, where it may possibly be fdund 

 in company with the related C. maculatus. Like the latter 

 it is a wingless and therefore a silent species, and being 

 secretive it requires considerable searching in likely spots 

 in order to find it.* 



♦Another species, Ceulhcphilus Irevipes Scudder, is generally a rare one, and has only 

 been taken at Grand Manan Island where it is not uncommon, at St. John.N . B., and in Indiana. 

 We would not expect to find auch a rare species in Nova Scotia. Its length is 1.5 mn).; hinl 

 femora shorter than hind tibi3, the lower carinas with 7-1 "> small saw-like teeth; hind tibif 

 otraight; fore femora about one-third or more longer than pronotum.
