Cydnids ; Ground-bugs.—This family of burrowing bugs is repre- 
sented by at least one North American species (Pangeus bilineatus 
Say), determined by Uhler, which burrows under rubbish at high- 
tide mark on the shores. It is fully described by Uhler in Bulle- 
tin Hayden’s U. 8. Geolog. and Geog. Survey, vol. iii, p. 383, 1877. 
A specimen of this species (fig. 175), taken early in September, 
was sent by Miss Victoria Hayward. It is glossy black, except the 
tarsi and antenne, which are dull buff. The head is sparsely covered 
with short black hairs; prothorax and scutellum sparsely punctate; 
ocelli ruby-red. Length, 6.5"™. See Howard, Ins. Book, pl. xxx, 
fig. 2. Our figured specimen bears a parasitic mite. See p. 842. 
The larva of another species was sent by L. Mowbray in October. 
Body short, broadly ovate, head and thorax wide, together longer 
than abdomen, smooth, dark brown; rudiments of wings the same ; 
abdomen pale buff, narrowly margined with dark brown, and with a 
median dorsal dark brown patch, consisting of a spot on each of five 
or six segments. Mr, O. Heidemann refers it to the genus d¥thus 
Dall. (Uhler, op. cit., p. 378, 1877.) He also identifies Pamera 
bilobata (Say), from the same lot. It is a slender predaceous bug ; 
body dark brown; fore wings with 2 black cross-bars; length 5™™. 
In addition to the Hemiptera enumerated above, J. M. Jones, 1876, 
recorded the following : Awlacostethus simulans. 
Dr. Fr. Dahl (Plankton Exped., i, part 1, p. 109) records also an 
undetermined species of Vadis, and one of Capsus. 
Jassids; Leaf-hoppers.—One species of this large family has been 
recorded both by Jones and Uhler: Celidia olitoria=Jassus olitoria 
Say, (Ent., ii, p. 385.) It is native of the United States. 
In this species the head is yellow; hypostome with a red vitta on 
each side; thorax blackish blue, edged with dull rufous ; wing- 
covers bronzy brown with fuscous veins; body black below; anterior 
legs pale yellow ; posterior pair with the tibia and femora bluish 
black, the latter yellowish distally, their tarsi yellowish. Length, 
about .25 inch (6™™). 
Leaf-hopper. (Ceelidea, or Jassus, flaviceps (Stal.) 
Head broad, light yellow; prothorax punctate, dark rufous brown; 
scutellum varied with dark brown and chestnut; wings lustrous, 
dark bronzy brown, becoming orange-brown at the margins and 
apex ; veins black ; legs paler, chestnut-brown, with a dark line on 
the outer*side of the femora and front side of the long posterior
