326 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Wings — Fore wings sometimes hyaline; costa not brown. 



Described from a type and five paratypes, the female in the 

 Peabody Museum referred to above being selected as the type. 

 Two of the paratypes are in the collection of the Boston Society 

 of Natural History, two in the collection of the American Ento- 

 mological Society at Philadelphia, and the fifth is in the collection 

 of the Conn. Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, Conn. 



Male — The male differs from the female as follows: Greater 

 part of lateral face of pronotum straw colour; an approximately 

 right-angled band on the mesoepisternum, posterior mesal half of 

 pectu, and basal half of venter entirely, straw colour; intermediate 

 coxae black only at base above, the posterior coxae except inside 

 and inner longitudinal half beneath, and the apical two-thirds of 

 the posterior tibiae black (continued to base above). 



Length — Female 11-13 mm.; male 11 mm. 



The male is here for the first time described, and is the only 

 one that I have seen. It belongs in the collection of the Boston 

 Society of Natural History. 



This subspecies approaches fisheri Rohwer from Maryland, 

 and may prove to be the same. 



Habitat — Sharon, Auburndale, and Woods Hole, Mass. (June 

 and July); Farmington (Norton) and Westville, Conn. (June). 

 I have records also from New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, but 

 they may refer to lobata lobata. 



INSECT IMPORTATIONS INTO NEW JERSEY DURING 



THE SPRING OF 1915. 



BY HARRY B. WEISS, NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. 



The following insects arrived in New Jersey during the spring 

 of 1915 on nursery stock imported from various countries in Europe. 

 Practically all were alive when taken and many came over in num- 

 bers sufficient for them to gain quite a foothold. Identifications, 

 for the most part, were made by specialists through the courtesy 

 of the U. S. Bureau of Entomology. 



October, 1915.
