title: TABLE 2 in Three new grasshopper species in the Florida Melanoplus Puer group (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae)

description: TABLE 2. Type specimen localities and label information for the three new Melanoplus species, with holotypes and allotypes noted explicitly and all other specimens to be considered paratypes. Coordinates are provided in WGS84 decimal degrees. All specimens collected by DAW were georeferenced using a Pentax WG-3 GPS camera. All specimens not collected by DAW were georeferenced using a combination of historic field notes and best guesses based on specimen label clues and personal knowledge of the regions using Google Earth and Google Maps. For localities only known from the name of a town/city, the center of the location was used for georeferencing. Specimens (very few) without sufficient locality information to make a best-guess are noted as such. Locality information format has been standardized across specimens, and missing information and current location names have been updated when possible. Unique identifiers for specimens have also been included, with the prefix containing the abbreviation for each collection as follows (in order of table appearance): UMMZI = University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Insect Division, MEM = Museum of Entomology at Mississippi State University, DAW = Derek A. Woller’s personal collection, UCFC = University of Central Florida Collection of Arthropods, TAMU ENTO = Texas A&M University Insect Collection, TAMU-IGC = TAMU Insect Genomic Collection, ABS = Archbold Biological Station, FSCA = Florida State Collection of Arthropods, and NCSU_ENTO = North Carolina State University Insect Collection. Total number of specimens/species: M. amphora sp. nov. = 53, M. spiracor sp. nov. = 99, and M. ferrarius sp. nov. = 38.
