CYPHODERRIS MONSTROSA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
From time to time during the last two or three years, Dr. James Fletcher has sent me specimens of a curious Locustarian taken at Banff, Alberta, by Mr. N. B. Sanson, curator of the Government museum in the National Park at that place. The specimens were all wingless and apparently immature females, but quite unlike anything known from that region. A study of their structure showed that they belonged to the Stenopelmatini and were most nearly allied to the genus Cyphoderris. Now, Cyphoderris, though described by Uhler thirty-six years ago, is a rare creature and was on record from only two localities, Oregon and Wind River, Wyo., and only males had hitherto been taken. The probability that these immature and wingless females belonged with the winged males appeared to me, however, so great that in my recent catalogue of North American Orthoptera I recorded the species given in the title above as found in Alberta.
