Family FULGORID</E. 



The "lantern-fly" family is represented by monstrous and bizarre forms 

 in tropical countries, but in New Jersey by insignificant, though often odd 

 forms. There is no real typical form in our species, some having head 

 or thoracic processes, while most have none at all. Some have broad 

 wings laid roof-like along the sides, others have them narrow and almost 

 flat over the abdomen. A few are covered by a floury or pruinose coating, 

 and some resemble the tree or leaf-hoppers. 



None of those occurring in the State are in the least harmful, while 

 most of them may be accounted fairly rare. Mr. Van Duzee has been 

 good enough to give me the sequence of genera here, and has added a 

 number of interesting records.
