1920. Melanoplus viridipes eurycercus Hebard, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, xlvi, 



p. 392, pi. 16, figs. 9 and 10. [d\ 9; type locality— Derrick City, 



Pennsylvania.] 



This race has been repeatedly confused with typical viridipes 

 in past literature. 



In addition to the one hundred and thirty five specimens orig- 

 inally reported, the following material is now before us: 



New York: Malloryville, Tompkins County, VI, 18 to 20, 1904, 1 9, 

 [Cornell Univ.]. Freeville, VII, 4, 1904, 1 d" . Caroline to Harford, VI, 15, 

 1904, 3 cT, 2 9, [Cornell Univ. and Hebard Clns.]. Hopeoye Falls, VII, 

 1913, 1 <?. 



Pennsylvania: Moosic Lake, VIII, 19, 1924, 19. 



Virginia: One and a half miles north of spring on Elliott Knob, 4000 feet, 

 VI, 30, 1933, (H. A. Allard), 2 <?, [U. S. N. M.]. 



North Carolina: Bakersville, V, 1929, (D. A. Greene), 7 o" , 9 9, [U. S. 

 N. M.]. 



Ohio: Georgesville, V, 20, 1903, (C. S. Mead), 1 tf», 1 9 . 2 Clifton, Green 

 County, VI, 24, 1903, 2 <?, 2 9. Xenia, V, 30, 1903, (C. S. Mead), 1 9. 



Michigan: Montmorency County, VII, 14, 1923, (T. H. Hubbell), 5 d\ 

 [Univ. of Michigan and Hebard Clns.]. 3 Otsego County, VII, 11 to 14, 1923, 

 (T. H. Hubbell), 7 o* , 6 9 , [Univ. of Michigan and Hebard Clns.]. 3 



Atypical viridipes eurycercus 



Michigan: Lakeside, Berrien County, VI, 21 to VII, 13, 1903 and 1904, 

 (J. L. Hancock), 3 d% 6 9. 



The race viridipes eurycercus is known to occur typical north to St. Albans, 

 Vermont; Slaterville, Groton and Cattaraugus County, New York; Kendall 

 State Park in Summit County, Hanover Township in Ashland County and 

 Salem Township in Champaign County, Ohio, 4 and Montmorency and Otsego 

 Counties, Michigan: west to the latter and Marion County, Indiana: south 

 to the latter; Cincinnati, Ohio, and Bakersville, North Carolina; east to the 

 latter, Elliott Knob and Sounding Knob, Virginia; Moosic Lake, Pennsylvania; \y^ 

 Great Barrington and North Adams, Massachusetts, and St. Albans, Vermont. 

 Its distribution probably also includes nearly all of Kentucky. 



2 Reported as viridipes by Mead from Franklin and Highland Counties. 

 Ohio Nat., iv, p. 110, (1904). 



3 It is surprising that these series are typical of viridipes eurycercus, as 

 material from southern Michigan and most of Indiana is intermediate to 

 varying degrees between this race and viridipes viridipes. 



4 These northern limits have been furnished us through the kindness of 

 E. R. Thomas, who has assembled a large series of this race from Ohio.
