 Collected in eastern New York, [Fitch] Buffalo, [Van Duzee]. 



This species has suffered many generic changes due to its possess- 

 ing in some degree characters relating it to many groups. While 

 it shows some faint ramose lines on elytra, the character of the vertex 

 and its general f acies seem to place it more properly with the species 

 included under Eutettix. 



In Fitch's type the head is subangular, longer on middle than next 

 the eye, narrower than pronotum, the transverse depression on 

 vertex scarcely visible, no trace of irrorations on the elytra, the last 

 ventral segment simple, very slightly convex, about twice as long as 

 preceding.

This is a rather rare species originally described from the vicinity 

 of New York and Philadelphia. I have seen specimens from 

 Mosholu [Bueno] — June 28, 1902, and took it at vStaten Island and 

 Jamaica the past summer. It is fully described by Mr Van Duzee.
