In the markings of the tegmina, form, and color (excepting the 
wings) C. pellucida looks like a diminutive Pardalophora {Hip- 
piscus), to which genus Camnula is closely related. It varies

much in size and tegminal markings but cannot be mistaken 
except by downright carelessness for any other species inhab- 
iting New England. 
It is found practically throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and 
Vermont, from the seashore to the summits of the highest moun- 
tains, over the larger part of northern and western Massachusetts, 
and occurs locally in northern Connecticut, possibly also in 
northern Rhode Island. Some of the more southern points at 
which it has been taken are Gloucester and Boxford, Mass., 
Thompson, Colebrook (Walden), and South Kent, Ct. Almost 
or quite a boreal species in New England, for some reason not yet 
determined, it extends on the Pacific Coast far into the Austral 
zone, and I have taken it even at Yuma, Ariz., in an alfalfa field. 
It is extremely common, even abundant locally, throughout the 
northern part of New England, being undoubtedly the most 
numerous in point of individuals of any of our Oedipodinae. It is 
found most plentifully in dry grassy pastures and other untilled 
lands, commonly on high grounds, where it begins to appear in
