mature female and more nymphs. July 4 and 5 I found one female 

 on each day, and on the sixth I collected many, both females and 

 nymphs. I succeeded in bringing five of the nymphs to maturity, 

 and all turned out to be females. One female adult when collected 

 was examined for eggs, but there were none. From that time I col- 

 lected females singly till July 19. Three of these I examined for 

 eggs, but found none. September 19 I collected the last insect of this 

 species at Newark, N. J. All were females. The only male obtained 

 this season was collected by Mr. R. P. Dow, at Flatbush, L. I. 



12. Thelia bimaculata Fabr. 



August I Mr. Bischoff collected five specimens at Rahway, N. J., 

 among them one with retarded development of the sexual organs, and 

 intermediate between the male and female in size. A slight variation 

 of form and color in the prothorax of this specimen indicates that 

 the incomplete development of the sexual ..organs may also affect 

 other parts of the body. Mr. Bischoff also found some nymphs but 

 did not keep them. I found several adults and nymphs, September 

 8, at Cold Spring Harbor, L. L 



13. Telamona species? (near lieliria). 



This insect was found on Liquidambar, as was the case with two 

 specimens collected last year in the Bronx, N. Y. City. July 6 I took 

 one male, and July 13 one female. July 24 I collected one female and 

 three males, and the next day another male. Besides these, on July 

 24 I found two nymphs, one of which, from its form, size and the 

 locality could possibly be the nymph of this species. However, I did 

 not succeed in bringing it to maturity, in spite of all my efforts. I 

 noticed that it would not nourish itself from the young shoot where 

 I placed it but insisted on trying to feed at its junction with the old 

 last year's shoot, where the sap was richer and most plentiful. 



14. Telamona species? 



Small, not yet identified specimens were found as follows: July 

 5-8 on Liquidambar. Of these three were females and one a male. 

 The other four were sexually undeveloped. July 15 I had twenty-two 

 specimens in all, eleven of them sexually abnormal. From that time 

 on, single captures of males and females were made, until July 25, 

 when the last was taken. During this period, however, I collected
