FITCH'S TYPES OF N. A. MEMBRACID^E. 



F. W. CODING, M. D., PH. D., RUTLAND, ILLINOIS. 



During a recent visit to the city of Washington, through the kindness 

 of Prof. C V. Riley and his courteous assistants, I had the pleasure of 

 examining typical examples of some of the Membracidae described by Dr. 

 Asa Fitch, the labels being in Dr. Fitch's own handwriting. Each speci- 

 men is numbered to agree with those given in the doctor's manuscript 

 note-books, now in the possession of Dr. Riley and the Boston Society of 

 Natural History. No. 11793 and 59782 are labelled Telamona acctivata, 

 Fh. ; on the label he states : " like cristata, Fm., but hind lobe rounded, not 

 angular." This is Heliria cristata, Fm., $ . No. 3109 is the typical ex- 

 ample of Telamona querci, Fh. It is usually seen in collections labelled 

 monticola, Fab , on whose authority I do not know. It is much smaller 

 than that species and entirely different. I believe it to be a good species. 

 It is a male. No. 2 132, labelled Atyta irrorata, Mels., is Telamona
