of Conn. ; and various places in 

 Mass., including Winchendon, Grey- 

 lock Mt., Penikese, Cuttyhunk, and 

 Martha's Vineyard Ids. Tiie speci- 

 mens from Greylock Mt. consist of 

 both long and short winged adidts 

 and young, showing that the species 

 undoubtedly breeds there ; those from 

 Speckled Mt. on tiie contrary are all 

 long-winged adults and probably flew 



there, having been observed by Mr. 

 Scudder in the middle of Sebago 

 Lake almost simultaneously. A nota- 

 tion and description by Mr. Scudder 

 of its song and attitude during stridu- 

 lation will be foLmd in Distribution 

 of Insects in New Hampshire and the 

 23rd report of the Entomological 

 Society of Ontario. 



A THYSAXURAN OF THE GEMUS ANOURA. 



BY F. I-. IIAKVEY, OKONO, ME. 



Prof. A. S. Packard in his " Syn. 

 Thys. of Essex Co. Mass." p. 27 de- 

 scribes a species of Anoura under the 

 name A. gibbosa., which was collected 

 at Brunswick, Me. The desciiption is 

 so meagre and ditlers so materially from 

 a form found in similar situations about 

 Orono, Me., that we submit the follow- 

 ing account of specimens examined. 



Description. — Lead colored or pale indigo 

 bluish. Body sliort and broad witli broad 

 segment. Head long in proportion to the 

 other segments, and divided above into two 

 areas: a wide anterior flattened portion, 

 bearing three rounded tubercles. The 

 middle one much lafger and marked by 

 about twenty small irregular color patches. 

 The posterior portion narrower, ridged, bear- 

 ing five tubercles, the middle one rectangu- 

 lar larger and two lobed by a transverse 

 depression. The others small and rounded. 



The prothorax bears four tubercles, the 

 two median ones small or obsolete, the loca- 

 tion indicated by hairs. The segments from 

 the third to the eighth inclusive six-tuber- 

 culate. Ninth segment four tuberculate. 



The bodj ending in two large tubercles. 

 The tubercles armed with whitish hairs at 

 the apex which become larger, longer and 

 more numerous toward the posterior part of 

 the bodv. The tubercles are colored like the 

 body but surrounded at the base bv a light 

 colored ring which has light colored lines 

 radiating from it to the apex of the tuber- 

 cles breaking the color into six sub-triangu- 

 lar zones. The tubercles on the second seg- 

 ment are triangular at the base and the color 

 broken bv lighter lines into twelve irregular 

 patclies nine surrounding three. Bodv 

 widest at 7th to 8th segments. The bucal 

 cone acute, broad at the base, prominent and 

 projecting beyond the head, as shown in 

 Fig. J. Antennae short, stout, hirsute, as 

 jong as half the width of the head. Basal 

 joint broadest. Three basal joints about 

 equal. Terminal joint longest, narrowest, 

 conical, lighter colored. 



Legs short and stout slightly longer than 

 half width of body. Underside of body yel- 

 lowish at the insertion of the legs. 



Measurement!.. — Total 1.9 mm. to 1.5 mm. 

 Greatest width .798 at 8th sag., head, .399 

 mm. long. Breadth .532 mm. behind but at 

 base of antennae .319 mm. Antennae. 21 3mm'
