Scaphoideus intricatus Uhl. 



Additional records for this species ha\x been secured for 

 Columbus, Ohio, taken on clover in September, I9U9; at Akron on 

 Comus, September, 1909, and a record from Professor H. Garman 

 for Lexington, Ky., September 20, 1909, on cultivated grape, also 

 from Franconia, N. H., by Mrs. Slosson. The original description 

 referred this species to Crataegus, but it has been taken on so 

 many different plants and in some cases so remote from this tree 

 that it is uncertain as to its normal food plant. So far as I know 

 the larvae have not been seen, and consequently the food habit as 

 detemiined by the larvae is uncertain. The species is now known 

 to range from Kansas and Nebraska to New Hampshire and south 

 to Virginia and Kentucky. 



Scaphoideus ochraceus Osb. 



Further records showing distribution of this species have 

 been secured since the publication of my paper in 1900, for Dur- 

 ham, N. H., Buffalo, N. Y., 1907, and "Ohio Pyle, Pa., Aug. 10, 

 1905. It must undoubtedly occur in Ohio, but so far has not 

 appeared in collections. 



Scaphoideus productus Osb. 



This species has been recognized at various localities, espe- 

 cially to the south. I have records for Balsam, N. C, at altitudes 

 of 4500 to 5000 feet, from the Department of Agriculture of North 

 Carolina, and have also seen specimens collected at Tryon, N. C, 

 by Mr. Fiske. Mr. Barbour has sent me a specimen from Cold 

 Spring Harbor, L. I., so the species is pretty well distributed from 

 Onaga, Kansas, vSioux City, la., east through Kentucky into 

 North Carolina, and north to New York. 



Scaphoideus carinatus Osb. 



This species has been recorded from Cold Spring Harbor, 

 L. I., (Barbour) and Black Mt. (Beutenmueller) Tryon, N. C. 

 (at light) from Fiske, Little Mt., Ohio, in addition to the previous 

 records. So far no specimens ha\'e been obtained from western 

 localities, so that it a]Dpcars to belong to the Atlantic region from 

 New Hampshire to North Carolina, and west to eastern Ohio at 

 least. 



Scaphoideus nigricans n. sp. 



Closely related to immistus, but much darker and with the 



female genital segment longer, and with a polished produced 



hinder border. Length 0.0 mm. 



Vertex about twice .is long at middle as next the eye, rounding to a 

 distinct obtuse angle at the tij); front rather narrow, sloping uniformly to 

 the clypeus which is distinctly widened apieally; lorae large, touching the 

 border of the cheek; pronotum distinctly emarginate behind; elytra trans-
