Balsbaugh. 1r.2 ABSTRACT The true katydid. Pterophylla camellifolia, is recorded as a new state record for North Dakota. A single male specimen of the northern true katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia (Fabricius), was captured 13 September 1987, in north Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota, by Dr. Thomas P. Freeman. The calling of this or of other true katydids in the area had been disturbing the neighborhood residents. A follow-up for additional specimens was made by me on the night of 15 September, but neither calling nor additional katydids were detected. Pterophylla camellifolia has been recorded from Massachusetts and Ontario south to Horida and west to Iowa and eastern Texas (Hebard 1941, Beier 1960). Its occurrence in North Dakota is probably accidental, perhaps introduced with imported nursery stock. LITERATURE CITED Beier, M. 1960. Orthoptera Tettigoniidae (pseudophyllinae II), pp. 1-396.
