REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I904 509 



Family tettigonidae 



Genus oncometopia 



Oncometopia undata Fabr. 



Proconia undata Fabr. [For full synonomy see Van Duzee's 

 Caialogue\ 

 The general range for this species is stated by Van Duzee as 

 New Jersey to Michigan and south to Florida and Mexico. Only 

 one record "Oswego" given on a specimen in the N. Y. State 

 Museum collection has come to notice for the State. 



Oncometopia lateralis Fabr. 



Cicada lateralis Fabr. Ent. Syst. sup. p. 524 

 Cicada marginella Fabr. Syst. Rhyng. p. 96 

 Cicada costalis Fabr. Syst. Rhyng. errata following p. 314 

 Oncometopia lateralis Ball. la. Acad. Sci. Proc. 8: 44 



This is a northern form and the only trustworthy record I know 

 for the State is from Mr Van Duzee who reports it for Lake Placid. 

 I have specimens from Montreal Can. and it may be expected to 

 occur over the northern part of the State. 



Genus aulacizes 



Aulacizes irrorata Fabr. 



Cicada irrorata Fabr. Ent. Syst. 1 794. 4 : t^t, 

 Cicada nigripennis Fabr. Ent. Syst. 1794. 4: 32

 A specimen secured at Cold Spring Harbor. One also in the 

 American Museum, New York city and credited to " N. Y." and it 

 was very likely secured at some point near the city. This is also a 

 southern species but its distribution extends a little farther north 

 than that of the preceding species. 



Genus tettigonia

A fairly common species and examples were taken during my 

 trip at Hamburg, Salem, Cold Spring Harbor and Jamaica. It 

 occurs in wooded localities and is fotmd on grasses and other low 

 herbaceous plants.
