TWO VAGRANT GRASSHOPPERS AND A MOTH. 
By A. P. Morse, 
Peabody Museum, Salem, Mass. 
Schistocerca vaga Scudder 
Scudder’s appellation “wandering,” applied to this species, 
is verified by the recent capture of an adult living female in 
Salem, Mass., Jan. 28, 1926. It was found in a shipment of 
cauliflower from California by Leonard Kobuszewski, a clerk in 
Tassinari’s market and fruit-store, Essex St., Salem. 
Neoconocephalus triops Linne 
Three weeks later, Feb. 19, 1926, a living male of this 
species was found in a lot of spinach from Texas at the same 
place by the same person. This species has been taken in New 
England twice before under similar circumstances (see my 
Manual of the Orthoptera of New England, p. 358). 
Ceramidia viridis Druce. 
On April 1 following, a specimen of this black moth was 
found in bananas, probably from Costa Rica, by Mr. George 
Tassinari. Mr. C. W. Johnson, to whom I am indebted for its 
determination, tells me that an example of this species has 
previously been taken at Nantucket. 
All three specimens have been placed in the local collection 
(Essex County, Mass.) of insects of the Peabody Museum, Salem.
