11. Tibicen viridifascia (Walker). 



Cicada reperta Uhler. 



Figured in Journal, N. Y. Entomological Society, March, 191 6, 

 PI. 6, fig. I. 



The synonymy given above was suggested in this Journal for 

 March, 1916, and December, 1917. Lately it has been confirmed by 

 Mr. W. L. Distant, who compared specimens of viridifascia and 

 resonans sent from North Carolina in 1920 by Prof. Z. P. Metcalf with 

 Walker's types in the British Museum and found them " identical." 



A male of this species was shot with a bean shooter in a small 

 linden tree at Ft. Monroe, Old Point Comfort, August 10, 1916, 

 and a number of others were heard singing in the higher trees as well 

 as in the scrub near the shore. Mr. H. A. Allard has sent me a male 

 from Virginia, collected July 31, 1921, in some small pines on Cape 

 Henry not far from the old lighthouse. At that time they were com- 

 mon, as they often are along the coast to the south of Virginia. 



This is the first species mentioned in the present list that has the 

 uncus wish-bone shaped, and as in others having this character, the 

 song is continuous; its zeckie, zcckic, zcckic may continue for a long 

 time. 



12. Cicada hieroglyphica Say. 



Figured in Journal, N. Y. Entomological Society, March, 1916, 

 PI. 6, fig. 5, and Howard's Insect Book, PI. 28, fig. 11. 



Fairfax County, near Washington, June 24, 1920, female (Alan S. 

 Nicolay) ; Great Falls, Fairfax County, June 27, male, collection 

 Nathan Banks. Also found on the Maryland side of the Great Falls 

 of the Potomac. This species is no doubt common at times in many 

 parts of Virginia. It appears earlier than most of the species belong- 

 ing to the genus Tibicen; is often found among pines, and has a rather 

 shrill song, which is not long continued, and resembles somewhat that 

 of Tibicen canicnlaris. 



13. Tibicina septendecim (Linnseus). 



Figured in Howard's Insect Book, PI. 27, fig. 16. 



According to Bulletin No. 71, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Bureau 

 of Entomology, 1907, C. L. Marlatt, nine broods of the 17-year race 

 of the Periodical Cicada and two broods of the 13-year race (one of 

 them doubtfully) are recorded in Virginia. Associated with these is
