Extract

20. Schistocerca americana, Drury.

Gryllus americanus, Drury, Illustr. Nat. Hist., app. (1773).

Acridium americanum, Scudd. Mat. Mon. N. A. Orth., 466 (1862).

Schistocerca americana, Blatchley. Can. Ent., XXIII., 79 (1891).

This large and beautiful locust has been twice reported from Ontario, at London, (Can. Ent., XXVII., p. 52), and at Toronto(Can. Ent., XXIX., p. 89), a single example being taken in each instance. These were probably wanderers from the South, certainly in the case of the Toronto specimen, and the insect can hardly be regarded as a native of our Province, though it may be established in the extreme southern portion.
