Figs. 177, 178 



A single specimen (Maine No. 67-05) was received from Dr. Edith 

 M. Patch, taken on the wing. It is included in this genus with 

 hesitation. 



Alate viviparous female. — -Very small. Antennae about one and 

 one-half times as long as body; numerous sensoria, but not tubercu- 

 late; plainly imbricated; hairs very short and inconspicuous. The 

 head is twisted, but the antenna! tubercles appear to be large and 

 distinct. Beak short. No prothoracic or abdominal tubercles 

 showing. Small dark-colored areas at lateral margins of abdominal 

 segments. Cornicle very light colored, long, slender for two-thirds 

 of its length, then suddenly and strongly swollen; no reticulation or 

 imbrications present. The cauda is twisted, but it is light colored 

 and appears to be long and broad with three pairs of lateral hairs.

AMPHOROPHORA MITCHELLI, new species 



Figs. 127-129 



A single alate viviparous female was taken on a wild Rhododendron 

 on the top of Mount Mitchell, N. C, altitude 2,100 meters, by Carlo 

 Zeimet on August 29, 1922. Mr. Zeimet says that two other speci- 

 mens were observed at the same time but were not captured. This 

 is evidently a native species of the wild forest, as no cultivated areas 

 were close at hand. The following description and the drawings are 

 from the one specimen. No other records have been received. 



Alate viviparous female. — Antennae longer than the body, black, 

 heavily tuberculate; hairs conspicuous, not capitate, about 0.32 mm. 

 Ions:. Antennal measurements as follows:
