edges of open woodlands. It is more frequent in bottom lands than in 

 more elevated tracts. 



July 27, frequent in grassy and sedgey spots in humid upland woods 

 (1) ; August 9. in small numbers in low woods and thickets along Bur- 

 nett Creek (2) ; August 20, occasional in a low field along the outer edge 

 of the Wabash bottom near West Lafayette (6) occurring in Tridens flava 

 and Elymus virginicus ; September 6, occasional in the undergrowth on a 

 wooded slope near a Homalocenchrus oryzoides marsh (10) ; September 

 13, a female taken in low woods along Burnett Creek (2). 



Glilcealtis conspersa Harris. Occasional iu grassy spots in damp wood- 

 lands ; very local. 



July 27, several males and one female observed in humid upland 

 woods northwest of West Lafayette (1), in a grassy clearing where the 

 prevailing herbaceous vegetation consisted of Carex, Elymus and Hystri.r; 

 September 13, a single male taken in low woods along Burnett Creek (2), 

 at the edge of a cat-tail bog. 



Stauroderus (Stenobotliriis) curtipennis (Harris). Apparently only 

 moderately frequent and rather local, occurring in humid tracts well cov- 

 ered with succulent grasses. 



July 19, in small numbers in the bottoms near the mouth of Wild Cat 

 Creek (11), in dense growth of Elymus virginicus; August 12, a female 

 taken in patch of fox-tail (Chwtocliloa viridis) in a waste lot on the Pur- 

 due Experimental Grounds (3) ; July 12, a small colony in a moist grassy 

 depression along the edges of woodland on the upland between Lafayette 

 and Montmorenci (12) ; September 6, quite scarce in grassy areas on a 

 wooded slope south of Wild Cat Creek (10). 



Arphia sulphured (Fabricius). Found only once in late April in a 

 sparse growth of blue grass (Poa pratense) at the top of a high bluff at 

 Happy Hollow (5). It was at this time in the nymph stage. No others 

 were observed during the season, but it is doubtless more frequent in the 

 spring months than my very meagre field observations made at that sea- 

 son would indicate. 



Arphia xanthoptera (Burmeister). Frequent in unfilled areas in nu- 

 merous dry situations, chiefly in upland localities. Both yellow-winged 

 and orange-winged examples occur in nearly equal numbers. The species 

 appears to occur only occasionally on fully cultivated land. 



August 1, frequent on the bluffs at the head of Happy Hollow (5), 

 occurring in dry grassy areas and on bare ground on the gentle inclines
