HICCORT. LEAVES. 



176. Baxded tree-hopper, Telamona fasciata, Fitch. 



A tree-liopper resembling the preceding in its form, but smaller 

 and of a tawny j^ellow color, its head and the anterior margin of 

 the thorax and the under side paler cream-yellow or straw-colored 

 with a single small black dot above each eye ; its thorax in front 

 and at tip blackish and also an oblique band across the hind end 

 of the dorsal hump and a spot on the tips of the wing covers ; 

 the dorsal hump more long than high, longer at its base than 

 above, highest anteriorly, with a stronger concavity at its anterior 

 -end than at its posterior and at its anterior base compressed and 

 forming hereby a shallow indentation upon each side. Length 

 0.38, height 0.20. This is also a rare insect, and as in kindred 

 species, the black colors are often partially or totally obliterated, 

 except the black dot above each eye. 



The V-MARKED TREE-HOPPER {Smilia vauj Say), an extremely 

 common and variable species is sometimes met with upon walnut 

 bushes, but belongs to the oak, on which it is always found in 

 abundance. 



177. SnoRT-noRNEDTREE-noppER, Oresa Jreuicorms, new species. (Ilomop* 

 tera. Membracidas.) 



This is so similar to the common Buffalo tree-hopper No. 22, 



that it will scarcely be distinguished from it except by a practiced 



eye, although it is undoubtedly a distinct species. It differs from 



that in having the horns much more short, and the sides of the 



thorax when viewed in front are not gradually curved outwards 



but are straight or rectilinear with the horns abruptly projecting 



from the corner at the upper end of this line. The acute spine 



at the tip of the thorax is also more long and slender. The 



thorax between the horns is slightly convex. The dried specimen 



is of a pale dull yellow color freckled with foint pale green dots 



and with a paler straw-colored stripe, quite distinct, upon the 



angular sides of the thorax from each eye upward to the horn and 



from thence to the summit of the thorax. Length of the female 



0.36. It was met with upon hickory bushes in New-Jersey. 



178. Face-banded Cixius, Cixius cinciijrons, new species. (Iloraoptcra, 

 Fulgoridae.) 



A small four-winged fly of a white color varied with blackish 

 brown and with three elevated lines upon the face and thorax, its
