NOTES ON CICADAS FROM THE UNITED STATES 



WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF SEVERAL 



NEW SPECIES. 



By Wm. T. Davis, 

 New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y. 



While the writer has a rather large collection of Cicadas from 

 the United States, more material may cause the opinions here ex- 

 pressed to be considerably modified. Especially is this the case re- 

 garding those species originally described without locality, such as 

 swalei, olympu^a, viridifascia and se.v-guttata. More specimens are 

 also to be desired from the type locality of what is here considered 

 as Say's Cicada vitripennis.''-

 drawings of genitalia, and to Mr. Howard H. Cleaves for taking the photo- 

 graphs from which the plates have been made.
