HOMOPTERA. 

 FULGORID^. 



Cixiiis stig7?iatus. Say. — Taken in numbers at Nigger Point, Quinze 

 Lake, Temiskamingue, and about Lake Temagami. 



Libu7nia pellticida, Fabr. — One macropterous male taken at Quinze 

 Lake. 



Liburnia sp. — Tiiree brachypterous females from Quinze Lake. 



Membracid^. 

 Ceresa basalts, Walker. — This species was taken in large numbers, 

 and shows a wide range in colour variation. The pale females are almost 

 entirely green or fulvous when dry, while the darker males are deep 

 piceous black marked, with pale only on the anterior margins of the head, 

 base of the elytra, tibiae and tarsi. The pale colour first shows on the 

 summit of the metapodium, and the last black colQuring to disappear is 

 the line below the suprahumeral horns and the banding on the femora. 

 Ceresa tiii'bida. Coding, is certainly a synonym of this, his material being 

 of the paler form found in the Northern States. I have received this same 

 species from the Saskatchewan, and from the Selkirk Mountains in British 

 Columbia. 



Ceresa Palmer i^ n. sp. — Closely allied to borealis and constafis. 

 Smaller, more slender, and less strongly coloured than constans. Clypeus 

 broad, with the tylus strongly produced. Front of the pronotum rather 

 low, vertical, convex before, with a prominent median carina ; sides 

 rectilinear, abruptly curved outward above to the horizontal acute 

 subterete and black - tipped horns. These suprahumeral horns are 

 strongly recurved, their posterior and inferior surfaces are concave 

 and marked with a brown line above and below, on either side 

 of the latter of which is a pale carina ; triangular superior surface 

 between the horns concave, a little convex along the median carina ; 

 posteriorly the pronotum is but feebly elevated, the apex is very slender, 

 exceeds the abdomen, and is tipped with black. Colour pale fulvous, 

 fading to pale greenish-yellow on the head and beneath ; the horns and 

 posterior carina ferruginous brown shading to piceous posteriorly ; sides 

 mottled with pale ; elytra long, subhyaline, a little smoky along the apical 

 margin. Tip of the rostrum, tarsal claws and tibial spines black. 



Last ventral segment of the female rather long, angularly cleft nearly 

 one-half of its length ; the sides of this sinus convexly arcuated as far as 

 the rounded outer angles. Plates of the male long and rather slender,
