"Pale fulvous; form similar to S. scalaris, Van Duz., but with a longer 

 and wider head and antennae nearly as long as the wing-cover. Vertex a 

 little longer than its width between the eyes, almost flat, very pale fulvous, 

 with a series of brown dots around the anterior submargin and some less 

 regular ones on the middle, occasionally with two or three ivory-white dots 

 before the middle; front irregularly clouded with pale brown, bounded above 

 by a slender dark brown line. Clypeus broad, bluntly rounded, marked 

 with a brown subapical spot; the rostrum reaching to the middle coxae. 

 Eyes with a dark brown band below. Antennae dark brown, paler at base. 

 Pronotum triangularly sublunate, well advanced into the deeply sinuated 

 vertex, the surface minutely scabrous, transversely wrinkled, polished, 

 dotted with pale yellow anteriorly, and minutely speckled with the same 

 color behind the middle; the posterior angles subacute, a little produced, 

 the posterior margin slightly sinuated. Scutellum with a dark brown spot 

 in the basal angles; the disk a little marbled with brown. Wing-covers 

 marked with three brown spots on the inner margin of the clavus, each of 

 which has an acute white spot at the tip; veins white interrupted with 

 brown, inargins pale; the costal margin has a series of broader white streaks 

 adjoining it inwardly, four large apical cells pale at base, bounded by brown 

 veins, the apex a little dusky; wings smoky, with dark brown veins. Beneath 

 and legs pale yellow, the tibiae somewhat marked with brown; the tarsal 

 joints, nails, and spots at origin of the tibial spines dark brown; the spines 

 pale brown. Last ventral segment of the female deeply notched, the valves' 

 of ovipositor set with long, brown, stiff bristles; tergum blackish, with 

 pale edges to the segments and a pale tip. 



"Length to end of venter 3}4 mm., to tip of wing-covers 5 mm.; width 

 of pronotum, 1 mm. 



"Five specimens, all females, were sectired on the island. One 

 was taken at an altitude of 1500 feet abo^'e the sea, and two were 

 colleeted at Kingstown." 



Scaphoideus lobatus Van D. 



This rather rare species described by Van Duzee from New 

 York has been taken in Ohio at Milan, and I have seen specimens 

 from Balsam, N. C, Madison, N. J., Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., 

 and it has been reported in Iowa, so that it may be considered as 

 occupying the northern part of the United States, extending 

 south on the elevated Appalachian region. Nothing has been 

 added concerning its Hfe history 



Scaphoideus blandus Ball. 

 Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXIII, p. 7. 



This species described by Professor Ball in 1901 has the 

 general appearance of jucundus, but is smaller and duller looking, 

 the reddish tinge of that species being lacking. The costal margin 

 of elytra with numerous regular cells. Length five millimeters; 

 width 1.1 millimeters. This species was described from various 

 localities in Colorado, and has not been recorded from any other 

 region.
