A PRELIMINARY LIST OF CICADELLID^ (HOMOPTERA) 



OF SOUTH CAROLINA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS 



OF NEW SPECIES. 



Frank H. Lathrop. 



During the summer of 11)14 the writer began the collection 

 of Cicadellidae or "Jassids" of South Carolina for the purpose 

 of making a systematic study, which was submitted in 1915 to 

 the Ohio State University as a thesis required for the master's 

 degree. At present the work is still being prosecuted with a 

 view of making the paper more complete and of bringing in 

 additional material along other than purely systematic lines. 

 It seems desirable now, however, to publish a list of species 

 and descriptions of new forms found in the State. 



All species not otherwise indicated were collected by the 

 writer. Besides this material, the collections at hand include 

 species secured by Professor Herbert Osborn at Colum- 

 bia and Clemson College, Mr. H. C. Eagerton at Marion, 

 Mr. G. M. Anderson at Walterboro, Mr. L. L. Ferebee at 

 Ridgeland, and Professor G. H. Pearce at Sievern. 



The nomenclature proposed by Van Duzee in his recent 

 check list* has been used in this paper.
