June-Sept., 1919-] DaVIS : CiCADAS. 191 



In addition to the type and allotype I have received sixty-two 

 males and eighty-nine females collected at Jemez Springs, Nev^' 

 Mexico by John Woodgate at 6,400 ft. to 7,500 ft. elevation, June 2 

 to July 2, 1918. They w^ere most common about the middle of June. 

 Mr. Woodgate writes that the "Navajo children tear the legs and 

 wings off of the cicadas and eat them — say they taste like pecan nuts." 



The species must have been quite plentiful in 1918 in parts of New 

 Mexico, for Mr. Warren Knaus sent me a male and female collected 

 about four miles southeast of Santa Fe, on the old Santa Fe trail on 

 scrub pine and cedar, June 15, at an altitude of about 7,000 feet. In 

 1919 Mr. Woodgate collected seventy-eight specimens of this species 

 at Jemez Springs. Mohave Co., Arizona, 19 19, 3 males, 4 females. 



In the United States Natural Museum there is a male magnifica 

 labeled " Tibicen cruentifa'a Uhler var. Uhler," from " E. A. Bush, 

 San Jose, Cal., Aug. 2, 1887." Evidently Uhler himself considered 

 this not a true cruentifcra. Two other specimens are as follows: a 

 female from " Nordhoff, Cal., 4, 6, 1905, W. M. Slosson," expands 

 88 mm., last ventral segment with notch simple ; male " From W. M. 

 Slosson, Nordhoff, Cal., June 4, 1905, found on pinon trees near the 

 west end of San Emedio Mts., Cal." The male bears a further label 

 by Mr. Heidemann, " Tibicen cruentifcra Uhler var." Also in the 

 U. S. National Museum there is a female from " Nucla, Col. Ch. T. 

 Trueb, Sept. 7, '09," with a slightly smaller head than the Nordhoff 

 female. It expands 88 mm. and the last ventral segment is simply 

 notched. It is labeled " Fidicina cruentifcra Uhler, O. H."

The type of this species came from Mariposa Co., California, June 

 16, 1914. In the collection of the United States National Museum 

 there is a male also from Mariposa Co., Calif. It has been compared 

 with the' type and is like it in every particular, except that it is larger, 

 expanding 90 mm. Lately Dr. F. E. Blaisdell has sent to me two 

 males and a female collected by him at Hullville, Lake Co., Calif., 

 June 13, 1917. The female is the first one I have seen and is colored, 

 as are the two males, almost exactly as in the male type. The size 

 is very nearly the same. Beneath the notch in the last ventral seg- 

 ment is remarkable for its great breadth; at its central portion there
