Writing of this species from Foss. western Oklahoma, in Au- 

 gust. 1916. Miss Anna Bennett says: "The cicadas have all disap- 

 peared except the white-sided ones. These are very numerous hero 

 this year. In fact they are almost a pest. They sing in the even- 

 ing and early part of the night. In the morning they are usually 

 rather stupid and sleepy and are in the short weeds and grass out 

 from the trees for a few rods, but start up with a loud noise and arc 

 quite easily caught in a net or even in the. hands. They always fly 

 for the trees and often sing after they light for a short time." Miss 

 Bennett sent me 302 specimens of dealbata, well justifying her state- 

 ment that the "white-sided ones" were very numef-.^M- -i!„inr Foss.

 ciated with dorsata in Kansas.
