Locality. Banks of the Brazos River, six miles from the

Remarks. The specimens were most abundant on the un- 

 der sides of the lower branches of the trees which were subject 

 to overflow and a great majority of the insects were dead as a 

 result of the overflow of 1908. Some living females were 

 present however, and one was found that had laid a number of 

 nearly white or colorless eggs (May 4, 1909).
