My friend Mr. Otto llcidemann found this insect in considcni- 

 ])le numbers at Washington, District of Columbia, on June !♦'>, upon 

 Jun ij)erus vhyii) !an '^s'." 



The pale-colored stage of this species has also been takcii near Lan- 

 sing, Michigan, l)y Prof. H. Osborn. 



When freshly excluded from the nynipha these insects are very 

 delicate, and of a dilute greenish tint. As whole broods of this species 

 have been detected, of which all the specimens conformed to this small 

 size, it seems difficult to regard this form 'as a mere dwarf of J), 

 nifipennla Fallen.
