Extract

10. Arphia sulphurea, Fabricius.

Gryllus sulphureus, Fab. Species Insectorum, I., 369 (1781).

Acrydium sulphureum, Palisot de Beauvois. Ins. d'Afr., et d'Am., 145 (1817).

Œdipoda sulphurea, Burm. Handbuch, II., 643 (1838).

Locusta sulphurea, Harr. Ins. Inj. to Veg., 177 (1862).

Tomonotus sulphureus, Sauss. Rev. et Mag. de Zool., XIII., 321 (1862).

Arphia sulphurea, Sauss. Prodromus Œd. Ins., etc., 71 (1884).

This species is one of the earliest to appear in the spring, making itself conspicuous on the wing by its bright yellow wings and rattling stridulation. It is quite common about Toronto in open, sandy, uncultivated lands, especially where these are scattered with low bushes and scrubby trees. I have never seen it about Lake Simcoe, though there are spots there which would apparently make a suitable home for it.
