The type, in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and 

 Sciences is the only one I have seen. It was collected in 1904 by 

 Messrs Doll & Engelhardt on sage brush. I take great pleasure in 

 naming this species after Mr. Charles Schaeffer, of that Museum, 

 who has always taken much interest in cicadas and with whom I 

 have spent many pleasant days afield. 



Okanagana fratercula new species. 



Type, male, Bucksk Valley, Iron Co., Utah. 



A small black and orange species, a little larger than 0. synodica 

 and with clearer wings. It in fact closely resembles O. schaefferi, 

 but while that is a very large Okanagana this is a very small one. 



Length 20 mm.; to the tip of the wings 26 mm.; fore wings 8 by 

 20 mm. Head not quite as broad as the front margin of the prono- 

 tum; front considerably produced and on the upper surface margined 

 by a well-defined elevated ridge, front sulcus narrow. Pronotum 3 

 by 8 mm.; the sides not parallel, the humeral angles rounded; sides 

 sinuated toward the anterior angles which are prominent. Opercula 

 oblique with the ends turned upward. Last ventral segment with the 

 base about as long as the sides which gradually converge to the 

 rounded end. Valve 3 mm. in length. Uncus when viewed in 

 profile short, stout, not hooked; when viewed from above, broad at 

 middle tapering to the end which shows a depression but is not 

 notched. Wings transparent with veins beyond the middle fuscous. 

 Costa of the fore wings yellowish edged with fuscous. All of the 

 wings fuscous and orange at base; flaps orange, fuscous centrally. 

 Head above black, with a yellow spot on each supra-antennal plate. 

 Pronotum black, entirely bordered with yellow, and about one half of 

 the median groove faintly yellow. Mesonotum black with hind 

 margin irregularly bordered with light orange; X orange, with a 

 black band across each anterior ridge followed by orange. Two 

 small orange spots beyond. The dorsal light spots taken together are 

 arranged in a semicircle. A yellow dash next the base of each fore 

 wing. Metanotum with the posterior edge light orange. Dorsum of 

 the abdomen black with all but the basal segment posteriorly edged with 

 orange; uncus black with a triangular orange spot at base. Beneath, 

 the valve pale, brown at tip and black at base, hind margins of all 

 of the segments orange. The opercula black tipped with orange.
