GYPONA Germ. 



G. cana Burm. More or less common throughout the State, VII-X. This 

 name Mr. Van Duzee refers to the commonest large species in the 

 State and cites "quebecensis Prov.," as a probable synonym. Some of 

 the references under "octo-lineata" in the last edition belong here. 



G. octolineata Say. This name is now confined to the large form with 

 scarlet marks. Mr. Grossbeck has taken a pink form of this. 



G. striata Burm. (flavilineata Fitch.) Also occurs throughout the State 

 and probably confused with "cana." Our records range from Chester 

 to Lakehurst, and from VI to X.
