This large and peculiar Tree-cricket is rare in New England and 
as yet only a few examples have been found there; these were 
taken in southern Connecticut. On 
August 30, 1892, I captured a female at 
New Haven but do not recall the cir- 
cumstances (recorded by Scudder, — 
List). Walden has since reported it 
from New Canaan and Portland on 
August 14 and September 11. Extra- 
limitally it has been recorded from 
Indiana, Maryland, and Georgia, and 
Scudder states its distribution as the 
southern part of the United States east 
of the Great Plains. 
In habits it is said to be extremely 
retiring, living in dense tangles of 
wild grape vines and forest under- 
growth or in low trees near dwellings. 
Its song consists of a series of low, 
deep trills separated by short intervals.

SUBFAMILY TRIGONIDIINAE. 
But a single species of this subfamily is found in New England 
and that occurs locally only on the southern shore of Connecticut, 
so far as known at present.
