Description
Schistocerca obscura (Fabricius, 1798)
Amédégnato et al., 1995: 699.
Holotype lost neotype male; designated by Dirsh (1974) from Allen County, Kansas, U. S. A. [NHM].
Distribution. U. S. A., especially southern and eastern states including Florida and Mexico.
Notes. There are three specimens in the Gundlach collection (at CZACC) determined with this name, but this may be a case of misidentification and that these are really Schistocerca serialis cubense (Saussure), as suggested by Amédégnato et al. (1995).
