Tibicen azteca Kirk, (pallida Distant, preoccupied). 



Sutherland Springs, Texas, June 26, 191 7, male (H. H. K.). i 

 In the collection of the U. S. National Museum there are three 

 Texas specimens that have been identified as pallida, and from the 

 description of the species and figure in Biologia Centrali-Americana, 

 the determination is probably correct. We figure one of the National 

 Museum specimens. In addition to the above we can add the follow- 

 ing records : 



Wichita Falls, Texas, August 16, 1905, female (Prof. A. P. 

 Morse) ; Foss, Oklahoma, July, 1916, twelve males (Miss Anna Ben- 

 nett). Miss Bennett writes as follows concerning those she collected: 

 " Found generally in the wheat and oats stubble, but some were 

 found on trees, weeds and bushes. They sing continually, but are 

 quite hard to locate because of their color. I believe we found most 

 of them in the open away from the creeks and canyons." 



Tibicen eugraphica Davis. 



Fort Stockton, Texas, July 5, 191 7, eleven males, one female (H. 

 H. K. and J. B.) ; Chancellor Station, Pecos Co., Texas, July 5, 1917 

 (H. H. K.) ; Fabens, Texas, July 9, 1917, four males (J. B.), two 

 males, two females on screw bean (H. H. K.) ; Mesilla Park, New 

 Mexico, July 11, eight males, two females on edge of desert on 

 mesquite (H. H. K.) ; Mesilla Park, N. Mex., July 12, five males 

 (J. B.) ; Aden, N. Mex., July 12, 1917, nine males on desert (H. H. 

 K.) ; Steins, N. Mex., July 14, 1917, male (J. B.) ; Aqua Caliente, 

 Arizona, August 7, 1917, two males, one female (J. B.). 



The following interesting record may be added to the above : 

 Barber Co., Kansas, 1,468 ft., July 19-21, 1916, eighty males and 

 eleven females (R. H. Beamer). Collection University of Kansas. 

 None in this long series show any indication of green coloring. In 

 Barber Co., eugraphica and what I have identified as vitripennis 

 Say, occur together. Say mentions green coloring in vitripennis, 

 which is true of those from Barber Co., Kans., as well as those from 

 further north and south. Vitripennis is proportionally a longer- 

 winged species. Tibicen eugraphica was described and figured in 

 the Journal N. Y. Ento. Society, March, 1916. 



Cacama valvata Uhler. 



Comstock, Texas, July 3, 1917, male (H. H. K.).
