at night in the dune camp on the Hghted table where the day's 

 catch was being mounted, and in the Warren Woods one male 

 came to a Hghted sheet stretched between trees in the open 

 margins of the forest. On July 19 a nearly full-grown nymph 

 of this species was washed alive onto the beach by the waves.

Three Oaks, spring of 1918 (G. R. Fox), i immature female. 



A single immature female was taken by Mr. Fox hidden in 

 the crevice between the base of a leaf and the stem of a potted 

 palm. It was probably introduced with the plant.

Of common occurrence throughout the region in thickets 

 and scrub, around the borders of woods, and on trees and 

 shrubs wherever they are found. In the early summer nymphs 

 are very common on low shrubbery and tall herbaceous vege- 

 tation ; in the beech-maple forest on the Warren Woods Pre- 

 serve several were taken on vines and shrubs, and on the tree 

 trunks. Later in the season the species becomes more difficult 

 to find on account of the more strictly arboreal habits of the 

 adults. The majority of the specimens were taken by beating 

 foliage. 



Recorded by Hancock from Lakeside, where he found it 

 in greatest abundance among the undergrowth and herbage in 

 the mixed beech forests.
