the prothoracic horn | [)1. i 7, fig. 



17]. A single specimen was taken on 

 scrub oak at Karner July 24, 1901, and Mr I-:. I'. Van Duzee, who kindly 

 identified the species, states that it is a rather rare form, being met with 

 only occasionally in his own collecting, and seldom represented in lots sent 

 for identification. It has been recorded by various writers from Pennsyl- 

 vania, Arkansas, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan and New York. 



Thelia godingi \'an I )uz. 



This is one of our more grotesquely shaped leaf hoppers. It may be 



recognized b\' the enormously developed prothorax 



which forms a stout, nearly \crtical, roimded horn- 



The median line on the jjosterior portion of the horn 



and on the top of the immensely de\'elo]jed protln)ra.K 



it is marked by a lenticular whitish line. The remainder 



of the prothorax is yellowish brown marked with 



darker brown, special!}' near the e\tremit\" of the 



horn, where it is nearly black. The head is yellowish 



and the eyes are black. This pretty leaf hopper was 



t.iken in small numbers on scrui) oak at Karner, July 27, 1901. 



Telamona monticola babr. 



This grotesciue little leaf hopper measures about .1 s inch in length and 

 may be distinguished In' its yellowish brown color and tlu- l)roadl\- rounded 

 elevation of the immensely developed prothorax. It is a ver\- common 

 sijecies on the Virginia creeper or am|)eloi)sis, and was taken b\' the Axritcr 

 in small nvnnl)ers on scrub oak at Karner in July iqoi. l>r b'itch in his 

 catalogue of the llomopteraof the State of New York, |)ublished in i.Ssi, 

 described this form as T. q u e re i and states that it occlu's on scrub oak. 



This insect has been recorded from Massachusetts, New \'()rk, New 

 Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina and Illinois by various entomologists and 

 presumably has a general distribution in the Eastern States at least.
