quently it may occur along the grassy borders of open woodland. I have 

 taken it in areas occupied by blue grass (Poa pratense), timothy (Phleum 

 pratense), red-top (Tridens flava) and bunch-grass (Andropogon scopa- 

 rius and furcatus). I have the following records: July 23, 2 nymphs in 

 dense patch of Bromus on Purdue Experimental Grounds (3) ; July 26, 

 nymphs fairly frequent in timothy stubble on Purdue Experimental 

 grounds (3) ; August 1. adults, especially males, frequent and nymphs 

 common in grassy roadside patch (timothy-blue grass) on upland slope 

 (4) north of Lafayette; also in dry blue grass and Poa compressa in field 

 at "the tank" (5) ; August 20, several males in open field dominated by 

 Tridens flava along outer margin of the Wabash bottoms below West 

 Lafayette (6) ; August 24. frequently within the borders of dry open 

 woodland on the top of the bluffs at the head of a ravine (8) about half- 

 way between West Lafayette and the mouth of Indian Creek, chiefly in 

 dry blue-grass, and associated with Arphia xanthoptera, Spharagemon 

 bolli, Encoptolophus sordidus and Melanoplus luridus ; August 30, fre- 

 quent in roadside and fence-row grasses, especially in a patch of Tridens 

 flava and Andropogon furcatus about a half mile southeast of Battle 

 Ground (9) ; September 1, of common occurrence in grassy uplands at 

 head of "Happy Hollow" (5) occurring in blue grass, wire-grass {Poa 

 compressa) and Andropogon furcatus and scoparius ; October 4, appears to 

 be getting scarce now on the Station grounds (3) ; October 26, a single 

 female seen in dense patch of Poa compressa in locality 5 ; October 31, a 

 dead female found on cement sidewalk on Experimental Station grounds 

 (3). 



Orphulclla speciosa (Scudder). Apparently very rare, only four speci- 

 mens having been seen or taken throughout the entire season. These 

 occurred in dry, open, grassy tracts on unfilled land. 



July 22, two females taken in timothy stubble in waste lot on Purdue 

 Experimental Grounds (3) ; in both of these the tegmina are longer than 

 the abdomen and their tips reach the tips of the hind femora. One female 

 has the discoidal area of the tegmina occupied in part by a double row of 

 cells, a character of its congener pelidna ; the specimen, however, is un- 

 questionably speciosa. August 1. a male taken in Poa compressa in a field 

 at "the tank'* (5). September 1, a male taken in patch of Andropogon on 

 upland at the head of Happy Hollow (5). 



Dicliromorpha viridis (Scudder). Appears to be only moderately fre- 

 quent and is largely restricted to damp situations within or along the
