Subfamily Oecanthinae - Tree Crickets
 Field Guide To Grasshoppers, Katydids, And Crickets Of The United States By John L. Capinera, Ralph D. Scott, Thomas J. Walker
Cornell University Press, 2004
Finally got a copy--the hardback. It is just stunning. Key features:
* color illustrations of 206 species
* anatomic diagrams and explanations
* range maps
* sonograms
* discussions of identification (including similar species) and ecology
* pictorial key that looks very useful, and accessible to the amateur.
Minor quibbles: There are plenty of illustrations, 206 in color, but there could always be more. (Hey, but then it would be really pricey!) I wish the plates had references to page numbers in the text, but that would make them cluttered and less pretty. (They are lovely as is.) It would be great if there was an accompanying CD with songs, but they do refer to the Singing Insects of North America web site. Perhaps a CD will be published in the future.

 Grasshoppers of Florida (Invertebrates of Florida) By John L. Capinera, Clay W. Scherer, Jason M. Squiter, Jason M. Squitier
University Press of Florida, 2002
Good color illustrations of 100 species of short-horned grasshoppers (Acrididae) found in Florida. Many of these species are widespread, and range maps cover the eastern US when needed. A lovely book, I only wish I knew more about this family so was able to make better use of it.

Some results of the University of Kansas entomological expeditions to Galveston and Brownsville, Texas, in 1904 and 1905. By Snow, F.H.

Snow, F.H. (1906) Some results of the University of Kansas entomological expeditions to Galveston and Brownsville, Texas, in 1904 and 1905. Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 20: 136-154.
The writer conducted two entomological expeditions to Texas for the museum of the University of Kansas in the years 1904 and 1905. Each of these expeditions had Brownsville, the extreme southern point of the state, as its objective point, but on account of the wretched connections with the one lone steamer between Galveston and our destination, as well as the limited time at our disposal, we spent the three weeks of our first stay, in May, at Galveston, but succeeded in reaching our original destination by rail in 1905, by the new Gulf Coast line.
