MORSE: ORTIIOPTERA OF NEW ENGLAND. 435 
the anterior ulnar vein strongly approximated to the radial; in female usu.illy 
slightly but distinctly nearer the railial, tlie widest part of the ulnar area wider 
than the diseoidal area, spurious vein poorly develoix'd or ahsent. Ajk'X of 
wings rarely with spurious veins between the branches of radial. 
Pelidna. — Foveolae distinct but rather shallow, narrowly triangular. Teg- 
mina extending beyond the hind femora, apex scarcely tapering, sides sub- 
parallel ; ulnar area in male usually closely reticulated (sometimes with spuri- 
ous vein), but little wider than diseoidal area; female with ulnar and diseoidal 
areas of equal width, tiie anterior ulnar vein jKirallel to radial and the ulnar 
area divided by a long spurious vein. Apex of wings usually with well-devel- 
oped spurious veins Ijetween branches of radial vein. 
Olivacea. — Foveolae distinct liut rather shallow, iiarrowly triangular. Teg- 
mina extending beyond hind femora, tapering toward apex; ulnar area in male 
expanded distallj-, much wider than the diseoidal and rather closely reticulated, 
the anterior ulnar vein strongly approximated to radial ; in female the anterior 
ulnar vein sub-parallel or somewhat nearer the radial, the ulnar area wider 
than the diseoidal, but the spurious longitudinal vein less developed than in 
-pelidna. Apex of wings rarely with well-developed spurious veins.

This species varies much in wing-length and almost incredibly 
in color and markings, being, in the latter respect, probably our 
most variable Locust. 
In southern New England it is one of the most abundant and 
wide-spread of all our species, but owing to its small size and 
non-migratory habits has not attracted the attention given to 
the larger and seemingly more destructive species. While 
somewhat local, it is found nearly everywhere on dry, sandy, or
