Biology of the Membracidae of the Cayuga Lake Basin 199 



Station E, the hills west of the lake between Trumansburg and Inter- 

 laken and including these two villages. The countiy is principally given 

 over to farm lands and is rich in cultivated fruits, particularly apple, 

 pear, and cherry. Considerable timothy and buckwheat is grown. 

 Around the farmhouses and buildings is a great deal of woodbine. Ceresa 

 taurina, Ceresa buhalus, Stictocephala inermis, Stictocephala lutea, Enchenopa 

 binotata, and Telamona ampehpsidis are common in this station. 



Station F, the region west of the lake between Trumansburg and the 

 Lehigh Valley railroad station in Ithaca. This station contains a variety 

 of physiographical conditions and a varied flora. The farms south of 

 Trumansburg are rich in fruit; the hills sloping to the lake are densely 

 wooded with second-growth trees — chestnut, maple, oak, and birch — 

 with much underbrush ; the roadsides and the railroad tracks have growths 

 of woodbine, bittersweet, and sweet clover; the flats south of the lake and 

 west of the inlet are low and wet, being chiefly filled-in marshland and 

 covered with cat-tails, red elder, and water plants. The station has 

 proved a poor one for Membracidae but has occasionally yielded Atymna 

 castaneae and Enchenopa binotata. 



Station G, the Renwick woods and flats south of the lake and west of 

 the inlet. The flora of this region is extremely varied. There are a large 

 number of old trees of many species, and the section is rich in shrubs. 

 Poison ivy and woodbine are plentiful. Asters, joe-pye weed, and giant 

 ragweed are hosts for certain Membracidae. The most abundant species 

 are Vanduzea arquata, TeIamo)ia ampehpsidis, Enchenopa binotata, and 

 Ceresa bubalus. 



Station H, the inlet region from Renwick to State Street, Ithaca. The 

 land consists of wet filled-in areas overgrown with vines and weeds. There 

 is much sweet clover, ragweed, thistle, and goldenrod. The boathouses 

 along the inlet and at the foot of Cascadilla Creek are covered with 

 Virginia creeper. The waste lands yield various grass-inhabiting forms 

 of Membracidae. This is one of the best stations in the basin for Tela- 

 mona anipelopsidis, owing to the abundance of woodbine, on which this 

 insect lives. Campylenchia latipes has been commonly taken near the 

 Cornell boathouse by sweeping. 



Station I, West Hill, extending to the top of the watershed. Farm 

 lands, with much fruit, make up this section. Apple and pear trees in 

 the region are infested with species of Stictocephala and Ceresa. Con-
