NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF THE MELANOPLI 



FOUND WITHIN THE UNITED STATES 



AND CANADA 



(ORTHOPTERA: ACRIDIDAE) 

 PARTS VII, VIII AND IX 



BY MORGAN HEBARD 

 (Plates XII-XVII) 



Unless otherwise noted the material here recorded is in the 

 author's collection, except the series collected by Rehn and 

 Hebard, which latter has been shared with the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



The author's publications on the North American Melanopli 

 began in 1917 with a study of the Mexican Melanopli, pub- 

 lished in the proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences. 

 The first of the present series was published in 1918 and the 

 last in 1935,* all in the Transactions of the American Ento- 

 mological Society except the description of a single new species 

 of Melanoplus, published in the Entomological News in 1923.** 



In the last two parts it was found advisable to consider all 

 of the species of the seven Groups concerned, and this method 

 has been followed in parts VII and IX of the present study. 

 Assistance of the utmost value has been given through the kind- 

 ness of R. H. Beamer of the University of Kansas, F. B. Isely 

 of Trinity College, Nathan Banks of the Museum of Compara- 

 tive Zoology and the authorities of the United States National 

 Museum.
