Abstract:

A number of new species of Orthoptera have been represented among the several thousands specimens sent to me for identification during the last three years. Large collections have come from Drs. Paul Hurd and Jerry Powell of the University of California at Berkeley, and from Mr. A. T. McClay at Davis. Smaller but exceedingly interesting shipments have come from Messrs. Georgeoc Buxton of the California Department of Agriculture at Sacramento and Jacques Helfer of Mendocino. Dr. W. F. Barr of the University of Idaho has sent many finely prepared specimens from his state. Deposition of holotypes and allotypes is designated in the description of each species. In accordance with the wishes of the collectors and curators of this material, paratypes will be distributed to the major collections of Orthoptera in this country.
