a little more than a right angle; the pronotum is black with its hind 

 edge narrowly pale ; the mesonotum has the six discal fulvous spots 

 smaller than in rimosa; and the tergal segments are very slenderly 

 edged with fulvous on either side, more broadly so on the second 

 segment. 



Mr. Davis has kindly sent me for inspection a female type taken 

 on Santa Rosa Island off the coast of Santa Barbara Co., Calif.

Walker's description of this species applies almost equally well to 

 rimosa but he distinctly mentions the fact that the first transverse 

 vein is parted from the second by more than twice its length. The 

 present species is the only one known to me of which this is true. It 

 differs however from Walker's description in having the elytral 

 nervures black to their base and in wanting the pale markings on the 

 disk of the pronotum. This species differs from all its allies in having 

 the first ulnar nervure forked very near its base ; the wing appendix 

 is also broader with its anal areole broader and more rounded at apex. 



Of this form I have seen but a single female specimen which was 

 kindly sent me for study by Mr. W. T. Davis. This individual was 

 taken at Dilley, Oregon, in July. 



A NEW MEMBRACID FROM NEW YORK (HOMOP.) 



By Lewis B. Woodruff, 



New York, N. Y. 



Just north of the limits of New York City a species of Cyrtolohus 

 flourishes which seems to be as yet undescribed. It falls in the sub- 

 genus Atymna, Stal. Although occurring in great abundance on its 

 food plant, Querciis hicolor, in the locality where it has been found, 

 the trees show no apparent injury from its presence. Both sexes
