Order ORTHOPTERA 



Compiled by William T. Davis 

 The present list is no doubt fairly complete as far as the distribution 

 of species on Staten Island and Long Island is concerned, but is quite 

 the reverse for the remainder of the State, much of which appears never 

 to have been visited by an entomologist with the object of collecting 

 Orthoptera. The species of this order are most numerous in the southern 

 part of the State, with the northernmost extension of several of them along 

 the coast terminating on Staten Island or Long Island. Probably most of 

 these will not be found in any other part of the State. Among crickets, 

 for example, there are at least six species that are no doubt confined to 

 these islands. 



Here used in the broad sense (Fols).
