MORGAN HEBARD 55 



The flattening of the caudal margin of the pronotum is more 

 pronounced in this race, which shows normally greater tegminal 

 and wing reduction than does typical lutea. 



The young of this race are inseparable from those of hitea lutea. 

 The habits of the insect agree fully with those of the more north- 

 ern race; but, when present, we have found lutea minima decidedly 

 the more numerous. 



The single ootheca before us is 1.8 mm. in depth. The dorsal 

 and ventral margins are parallel and very slightly cur\'ed, the dor- 

 sal (suture) being supplied with widely spaced, minute knobs"'-; 

 the divisions of the Qgg sacks are distinctly indicated on the weakly 

 roughened, moderately convex sides, by widely spaced vertical 

 ines. The single example before us bearing an ootheca, is carry- 

 ing this egg case with suture laterad.''^

"- In C. punctidata these projections are blunth' triangular and not widely spaced. 

 '■^ In a specimen of C. punctulata before us, the ootheca is carried with suture dorsad. It 

 is known to be carried in both vertical and horizontal position in Parcoblalta pensylvanica.
