2 6o The Ohio Naturalist. [Vol. XI, No. 3, 



from Maryland, has recently been sent to me from Pennsylvania 

 in some material submitted by the Carnegie Museum. This 

 specimen agrees perfectly with the type material, so that it 

 strengthens the impression as to the distinctness of the species. 

 The most evident character is the intensely black face. 



Scaphoideus opalinus Osb. 

 20th Report N. Y. State Entomologist, 1904, p. (1905). 



This species was described from specimens taken in 1904 at 

 Cold S])ring Harbor, L. I., on red cedar, and it has been reported 

 later from Riverton, N. J., Gowanda, N. Y., and vSeven Oaks, 

 Fla., by Mr. E. P. Van Duzee. The specimens from these differ- 

 ent localities agree so perfectly with the type material that the 

 species may be considered as well defined, although, as stated in 

 my original description, it stands close to immistus in the immistus 

 group. 



Scaphoideus obtusus Osb. 



No further undoubted specimens of this species have appeared 

 since the original description, but Mr. Van Duzee has collected at 

 Crescent City, Sanford, Seven Oaks, and Fort Myers in Florida, 

 specimens which he is inclined to refer to this species. They 

 appear to me to be somewhat closer to typical immistus than the 

 type specimens of obtusus and so might be considered as connect- 

 ing the form with that species; however, Mr. Van Duzee has 

 taken one specimen at Lancaster, N. Y., which agrees distinctly 

 with the type material, and so far as these specimens go there is a 

 fairly distinct separation from immistus. 



Scaphoideus festivus Mats. 

 Termesz Fuget, 25, p. 384, f. 14. 



This species described by Matsumuri for Japan has been 

 recorded for other parts of the oriental region, Ceylon and British 

 India, and is probably somewhat generally distributed in the 

 oriental region. 



The species corresponds pretty closely with our immistus 

 which it is said by Matsumuri to closely resemble and occupies for 

 the old world about the same position that immistus does with us. 



Aside from the above species, two other species of the genus 

 have been described from the old world
