just mentioned I have seen ii8 specimens from Sioux Co. in the 

 northwest corner of Nebraska, 'kindly sent to me for examination 

 from the University of Nebraska. All show bluish reflections with 

 red-orange markings including the costa to the end of the radial cell. 



Nevada. — Four females labeled '" Nevada " from collection Uni- 

 versity of ^linnesota. These are typical putnauii. In the Uhler col- 

 lection, U. S. National Museum, there are nine females and two males 

 labeled " Nevada" which also appear to be typical putnami. 



New Mexico. — Jemez Springs, Sandoval County, 6.400 ft., col- 

 lected by John Woodgate, May, 1916, fifty-two males, thirty-eight 

 females; June, 1916, three males, five females; July, 1916, male and 

 two females at 7,500 ft.; June, 1917, female, and June 7, 1917, female 

 at 8.000 ft.; May, 1918, male; June, 1918, fifteen males, thirteen 

 females; July, 1918, female; ]\Iay, 1919, eight males, three females; 

 June. 1919, twenty-six males and fifty-nine females. In 1916 Mr. 

 \\'oodgate wrote " the cicadas of which I sent you so many specimens, 

 swarmed everywhere here this summer."' Cloudcroft, 9,000 ft., 

 female (Warren Knaus). Box Canyon, June, 19 12, female. Four 

 miles southeast of Santa Fe, N. INI., on the old Sante Fe trail, 7,000 

 ft., on scrub pine and cedar, June 15, 19 18, male and three females 

 (Warren Knaus). Mr. Knaus writes: "The small species did not 

 attempt to fly, except an occasional short flight; did not sing, but made 

 a snap, snap, snap, snap, noise." Ft. Wingate, ]May 4, 1908 (John 

 Woodgate), collection Academy Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



California. — Los Angeles County, two females without date (B. 

 Neubarth). These specimens have the legs somewhat lighter colored 

 than typical putnami. They expand 48 millimeters. In the absence 

 of male specimens they are doubtfully placed here. 



Mr. J. Duncan Putnam, after whom this species was named, was 

 connected with the Davenport, Iowa, /\cademy of Natural Sciences, 

 and in the proceedings of that society. Vol. II, 1876-1878, "Cicada 

 putnami Uhler '' is figured on plate IV, figs. 2 and 3, male and female. 

 Figure 3 gives a side view with wings closed ; figure 4, with wings 

 expanded. It is stated that the figures were " Drawn and engraved 

 on stone by Herman Strecker." The figures are not accompanied 

 by any account of the species.
