[47] Ninth Report of the State Entomologist 387 



ANOTIA. KiRBY. 

 Bonxet's Anoxia, A. bonnetii, (Kirby.) Tr. Linn, Soc, xiii. 21. 



On willows, about the middle of September. No. 635, male; 

 636, female. 



PCECILOPTERA. Lat. 



* Frosted Pceciloptera, P. pruinosa, (Say.) Joui*. Acad. Nat. 



Sci., vi. 237. No. 637, male; 638, female. 



* Common Pceciloptera, *P. (?) vulgaris. Blackish-pruinose; elytra 



with a transverse row of pellucid-white points beyond the mid- 

 dle; legs pallid, femurs blackish ; ventral segments edged with 

 orange ; medial carina sometimes obsolete. Seems more allied 

 to this than any other genus, though the simple neuration of 

 its elytra, and some other marks, present discrepancies to this 

 association. Length, 0.20. Common on various shrubs and 

 trees. No. 639, males; 640, female. 



FAMILY MEMBRACID.E. 



ENCHOPHYLLUM. Amy. and Serv. 

 "" Two-sPOTTED Enchophyllum, M bbiotatum, (Say.) Appendix 

 to Long's Exped., p. 301. Common on numerous plants and 

 trees. No. 641, male; 642, female. 

 Var. a. Color brown. No. 643. 



" Broad-footed Enchophyllum, E. latipes, (Say.) App. to Long's 

 Exp., p. 302. No. 644, female. 



ENTILIA. Germar. 



Notch-backed Entilia, E. sinuata, (Fab.) Entom. Syst. Suppl., 

 p. .513. No. 645, male; 646, female. 



Sub-species *torva. Front somewhat concave, causing the 

 anterior foliole to incline slightly forward. No. 647. 



'■^Hollow-backed EjfriLiA, E. concava, (Say.) App. to Long's 

 Exp., p. 301. That part of the generic definition which repre- 

 sents the thorax as " foliaceous and deeply ^notched " does not 

 apply to this species. In all other respectg this is so closely 

 related to the preceding as scircely to call for a generic sepa- 

 ration. Both species occur on various herbs and trees, par- 

 ticularly on the Canada thistle, where the larvae are, like 

 plant-lice, attended by ants, which protect them and subsist 

 •upon their saccharine secretions. No. 648, male; 649, female.
