THE DISTRIBUTION OF INSECTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. 377 



reaching Georgia and Mississippi on the south, and extending westward to 

 New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, Utah, Wyoming, and even, according 

 to Walker, Vancouver's island, on the Pacific coast. It makes a muffled, 

 rustling sound with its wings during a somewhat sustained flight. 



30. Hippiscus phoenicopterus (CEdipoda phcenicoptera Germ.). Ply- 

 mouth is the only place in New Hampshire in which I have taken this 

 grasshopper, but it doubtless occurs in all the region south of the White 

 Mountains, for it is found throughout the southern part of New England, 

 and as far south as Carolina, and even Florida, and, according to Thomas 

 and Walker, reaches Colorada, Dakota, and Nebraska. 



31. Hippisms rugosus (CEdipoda rugosa Scudd.). This grasshopper 

 has not yet been captured in New Hampshire, but it undoubtedly belongs 

 to the fauna of the state, having been taken in Norway, Me., upon one 

 side, and Massachusetts on the other, and also, according to Thomas, in 

 the distant regions of Nebraska, Dakota, and Missouri. 



32. Arphia xanthoptera (CEdipoda xanthoptera Germ.). Extends from 

 middle New Hampshire to Carolina along the Atlantic coast, and west- 

 ward to the Mississippi. 



33. Arphia sulphurea Stal. Although this insect has never been 

 recorded from New Hampshire, it doubtless inhabits the state, for it is 

 found in Norway, Me., and is not at all uncommon in Massachusetts ; it 

 is, however, a southern insect, extending to Florida, and westward to Col- 

 orado, Missouri, and Nebraska, according to Thomas, and even, by Mr. 

 Walker's statement, to Vancouver's island, on the Pacific coast. 



34. Trimerotropis cequalis (Gryllus cBqualis Say). This grasshopper 

 is found at Norway, Me., and, as it occurs also in Vermont and Massa- 

 chusetts, it must belong to the fauna of New Hampshire. According to 

 Walker, it extends south to Florida; but I know of it from no point 

 farther south than Long island. Westwafd, I have taken it at the Red 

 river settlements and Minnesota, and it also occurs in Iowa, Dakota, and 

 northern Illinois. 



35. Trimerotropis verruculata (Locusta verruculata Kirb.). A very 

 abundant species in the valleys of the White Mountains, as well as all 

 over the state ; it has also been taken on the top of Mts. Tom and Gray- 

 lock in Massachusetts, in the northern wilds of Maine, on the Saguenay 

 river in Canada, the region of the Saskatchawan river, and even in south-
