46 THE PERIODICAL CICADA, 
recently acquired knowledge of the existence of another periodical 
species in the northwestern United States threw some doubt on this 
reference, and an examination of collected material from that region 
indicates that the species referred to is Tibicen cruentifera Uhl., 
which apparently is also periodic and has other habits closely 
resembling septendecim. 
The records of distribution given below are as published in Bulletin 
18 of this Bureau, with the exception of West Virginia, where a good 
many counties have been added from Doctor Hopkins’s Bulletin 68 
and from later records secured by him. The starred counties indi-

swarms; the italicized counties are confirmations of old records, and 
the counties inclosed in parentheses are old records not reported in 
1898. The distribution, by States and counties, follows:
