This species has been frecjuently taken in hilx-rnation. under bark 

 and in buildings. In Missouri the writer found it numerous on young 

 white oak and more recently, in Minnesota, the nymphs and adults 

 were found abundant the latter part of July on Qiicrcits iiiacrocarpa. 

 The majority of the nymphs mature the latter part of July and the 

 adults are most abundant on the trees in early August. On October 



6 and again October 9 a living specimen of ncbulosus appeared on the 

 writer's table in the laboratory while he was working up data on this 

 very form. The specimens came no doubt from the bur oaks on the 

 campus where the species bred abundantly, later entering the building 

 for hibernation. The species has been taken singly on various plants ; 

 also it is frequently attracted to lights. 



Specimens taken August 4, 1888, by Pergande are labeled "on 

 oak." Specimens from Miss Murfeldt and now in the U. S. N. M. 

 collection, bear the label: 'T^redatory bug, on Pli. Rilc\i, Sept. 2, 

 1889." This evidently refers to Phylloxera rilcvi Riley of the oak. the 

 same tree upon which ncbulosus is most frequentlv found. 



The type locality for this species is not given in the original de- 

 scription, but the specimens probably came from Colorado as was the 

 case with several other species described in the same paper. The type 

 specimens are not to be found, or at least were not recognized, in the 

 material of the National Museum collection.
