Abstract

Some time ago, I read a very interesting article, by Dr. S. H. Scudder, in the Canadian Entomologist, on Cyphoderris monstrosa. The rarity of the insect, as set forth by Dr. Scudder's article, has led me to write the observations, of myself and others in this section, on an Orthopteran identified by Professor Aldrich and Professor Bruner as the above-named insect.In June of 1899, while walking through a pasture near Moscow, at dusk one evening, I heard a great many short, intermittent chirps, similar to the song of Oecanthus fasciatus; but more subdued and ventriloquial, and with longer pauses between the measures. I supposed them to be the songs of crickets, but never before having heard songs like them, I decided to make an acquaintance with their authors.
