My examples correspond with Say's short description, except ihat the 

 tip of the thorax extends to, and in some cases beyond, the apical

Smilia camehis Fab. Two examples beaten from oaks 



Cyrtosia van Say. Not infrequent on trees.

Cixius stigffiatus Say. Not common. 



Cixius pini Fitch. Occasional on various low bushes ; rarely on pine.

 Oliarns quinquelineatus Say. More abundant than the preceding forms. 



Sub-family Delphacidce.

Sub-family Achelidce.

Sub-family Derbidce. 



Otioceriis Coquerbertil Kirby. Not uncommon on maple and beech 

 trees.

Lamenia vulgaris Fitch. Abundant and of large size. 



Sub-family Issidce. 



Bruchomorpha oculata Newm. Abundant in damp grassy localities,
