Homoptera of Cranherry Lake Region 31 



Family CICADELLIDAE 



Agallia novella (Say). 



Taken especially in undergrowth of trails and along tote roads 

 and probably feeds on quite a varied list of food plants. State 

 Forest Camp, Barber Point, July 3, 1920. Adults, collected at the 

 Plains, Aug. 3, 1920. 



Agallia 4=punctata Provancher. 



Much less common than the preceding species and probably 

 somewhat limited as to food plants, occurring in woods near the 

 trails. It has been recorded as common on cultivated crops but 

 may be considered of practically no economic importance for this 

 region. State Forest Camp, Barber Point (adults), July 3, 1920. 

 Wanakena, Aug. 12, 1920. Plains, Aug. 3, 1920. 



Agallia oculata Van Duzee. 



A single specimen taken here appears to be distinctly identical 

 with the form described as oculata, the common range of the 

 species being south and into the tropical parts of the continent. 



Agallia sanguinolenta (Provancher). 



A common species where clover or other legumes occur. In 

 other localities this species is of very distinct economic importance 

 as it attacks cultivated crops, but in the Cranberry Lake region 

 it is only found in the trails or tote roads where introduced grasses 

 or clover furnish it a good basis. Most of the individuals cap- 

 tured were rather small in size compared with the forms taken in 

 other localities. Cranberry Lake in July and Aug., 1920. Plains, 

 Aug. 3, 1920. Wanakena, Aug. 12, 1920. 



Idiocerus amabilis Ball (Plate I, Fig. c.) 



Quite common on willows, especially along Sucker Brook and 

 in the East Flow on willows which overhang the water. Newly 

 transformed adults are a brilliant yellow-green with golden luster. 

 Head and pronotum brown with lighter marking; vertex solid 

 green at sides, brown on central part except narrow whitish 

 median stripe. The face for the upper part is like the vertex 

 below the ocelli green. The antennae light green at base and 

 the bristles dark; underneath, except for the mesothorax, brilliant 

 green. The tarsi whitish with the spurs and claws black. Cran- 

 berry Lake, July 18-24, 1920. Wanakena, Ranger School, July 15 

 and Aug. 12, 1920. 



Idiocerus formosus Ball. 



Taken along stream and probably feeds on willows. Cranberry 

 Lake, Aug. 3, 1920. 



Idiocerus pallidus Fitch. 



Common on various species of willow and one of the most 

 abundant forms upon this plart. It is apparently r»ot capable of
