A common species at Urbana. It was not taken at Havana, where 



canincuhitini! was abundant, nor at Lake A'illa, where both caruncii- 

 latiiin anil hagciii were cimimon. The females of these closely allied 

 species have been determined from material collected in the above 

 localities. A study has also been made of specimens taken in copula, 

 in the collection of Mr. E. B. Williamson. 



The imago emerges at Urliana as early as June 13 and apparently 

 continues to emerge thrf)ughout the season. Nymphs taken late in 

 July emerged shortly after, and another lot, collected at Lexington, 

 Ky.. emerged as late as August 18. 191 5. There is a possibility that 

 the species has two broods a year.
