Ischnoptera (Temnopteryx) deropeltiformis Brunn. 
One d\ taken by Mr. F. W. Cowles at Sugar Grove, Fairfield 
County. 
Ischnoptera johnsoni Rehn. (I. intricata Blatch.) 
One $ , taken at Castalia, Erie County, by Miss Blanche Howe. 
Family MANTIDAE. 
(?) Paratenodera (Tenodera) sinensis Sauss. 
This species was introduced in Cincinnati about 1905 by Miss 
Annette Braun, the egg-masses having been brought from Phila¬ 
delphia. Specimens were seen each summer for several years 
afterward. It has not been seen for the past three summers 
and may have died out. 
Stagmomantis Carolina Linn. 
Numerous specimens of this common southern species have 
been taken in the southern part of the state. 1 9 was taken by 
Mr. M. M. McLeish, in Franklin County, just east of Columbus. 
Family PHASMIDAE. 
(?) Diapheromera velii Walsh. 
Scudder, in his paper on the genus Diapheromera (Psyche, 
vol. IX, (1901), pp. 187-189), records this species as present 
in Ohio. Until Scudder’s material can be examined, however, 
it would seem to be doubtful whether he did not have at hand 
specimens of the later-described Manomera blatchleyi Caudell, 
9 s of which, according to Caudell, are scarcely separable from 
those of D. velii. 
(?) Manomera (Bacunculus) blatchleyi Caud. 
Numerous specimens, all 9 s, agreeing with the descriptions 
of the 9 of both Manomera blatchleyi and Diapheromera velii, 
have been taken by the writer at Cedar Point in the past three 
summers. Since no cfs were taken, certain identification is hardly 
possible, but as D. velii is a species of distinctly southern range, 
it is very probable that they belong to M. blatchleyi. 
Family GRYLLIDAE. 
Ellipes minutus Scudd. 
The specimens referred by Mead to Tridactylus apicalis 
Say belong to this species. They were collected in Columbus. 
The writer has also taken this species at Cedar Point, Erie County, 
and at Sugar Grove, Fairfield County. 
Myrmecophila pergandei Brun. 
This interesting myrmecophilous species was taken by Mr. 
Dury in thick woodland, near Cincinnati. It was found in 
ant-nests which had been exposed by overturning logs and stones.
