specimens sent to me b}^ Prof. Osborn. The seven individuals here 

 recorded differ from this typical male, and also from the sixteen speci- 

 mens in the author's collection, in having about the apical fourth of 

 each fore wing more smoky than usual. 



Tibicen cinctifera Uhler. 



Florence, Arizona, July 29, 1917, fifty-seven males, fourteen fe- 

 males (H. H. K. and J. B.) ; Black Canyon, Bumble Bee, Arizona, 

 July 31, 1917, male (H. H. K.) ; Tempe, Arizona, August i, 1917, 

 four males, two females (J. B.). Grand Canyon, Arizona, Lower 

 Bright Angel trail, August 2, 1917, three males (H. H. K.) ; Buck- 

 eye, Arizona, August 7, 1917, six males, twenty-one females, on 

 poplars along irrigation ditch (H. H. K. and J. B.) ; Palomas, Ari- 

 zona, August 8, 1917, three males (H. H. K.). Mr. Knight says of 

 those from Florence : " On mesquite, song continuous, even toned, 

 moderately shrill note." 



The above records cover the specimens with the hind margin of 

 the pronotum broadly banded with straw color or greenish, and the 

 costal margin of the fore wing to the end of the radial cell also light 

 colored. There is, however, a variety of a much darker orange color 

 with the hind margin of the pronotum more narrowly banded with 

 orange. For this variety we have the following records : 



Del Rio, Texas, Devil's River, July 3, 1917, male; Bonita, Ari- 

 zona, July 16, 191 7, and Tucson, Arizona, Sabin's Canyon, Santa 

 Catalina Mts., July 23, 1917, all collected by Mr. Knight, who states 

 on one of the labels that " this form has a continuous song." 



Tibicen viridifascia Walker var. bequaerti new variety. 



The reasons for believing that Uhler's Cicada rcperia is a synonym 

 of Cicada viridifascia Walker are given on page 58, Journal N. Y. 

 Ento. Soc, March, 1916. 



On August 10, 1916, the author collected a Tibicen viridifascia, 

 and heard many more singing at Ft. Monroe, Va., the most northern 

 locality so far known for the species. Southward from Virginia we 

 have numerous records and specimens from along the Atlantic coast 

 to Big Pine Key, Florida. Some of these specimens have been com- 

 pared with Uhler's rcpcrta in his collection in the U. S. Nat Museum, 

 and found to be the same. 



From the Gulf coast of Florida we have seen a female collected at
