THE EARLY STAGES OF EMPOASCA TRIFASCIATA 



GILL.i 



BY HARRY B. WEISS AND EDGAR L. DICKERSOX,* 

 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. 



While not recorded in Smith's List of the Insects of New 

 Jersey, this attractive little leaf-hopper appears to be fairly well 

 distributed in New Jersey, having been found by the writers on 

 poplar at Irvington, Red Bank, Ridgefield, Trenton and New 

 Brunswick. De Long in his "Leafhoppers or Jassoidea of Ten- 

 nessee" (Bull. 17, Vol. V, No. 2, Tenn. State Bd. Ent.) records it 

 as being swept from cottonwood at Clarksville, Tenn., and Van 

 Duzee in his check list of the "Hemiptera of America, North of 

 Mexico," gives its distribution roughly as "Eastern States to the 

 Mississippi Valley and Eastern Canada." It was described by 

 Gillette in the Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. XX, p. 726 (1898) 

 from specimens taken at Douglas Co., Kansas, Champaign, 111., 



Mdentified by E. P. Van Duzee. 



*The arrangement of the authors' names has no significance, and indi- 

 cates neither seniorit\' nor precedence.
