  Family 
  CERCOPID^. 
  

  

  These 
  are 
  the 
  "frog-hoppers" 
  or 
  "spittle-insects," 
  so 
  called 
  because 
  of 
  

   the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  adults, 
  which 
  is 
  broad 
  and 
  squat, 
  the 
  leaping 
  power 
  

   being 
  also 
  well 
  developed, 
  and 
  because 
  the 
  larvse 
  live 
  in 
  little 
  masses 
  of 
  

   white 
  froth 
  resembling 
  spittle. 
  In 
  this 
  group 
  the 
  thorax 
  is 
  without 
  ab- 
  

   normal 
  processes 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  produced 
  back 
  over 
  the 
  abdomen. 
  

  

  While 
  "frog-spittle" 
  is 
  not 
  uncommon 
  on 
  low 
  meadows, 
  shrubs 
  and 
  

   bogs, 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  injurious 
  to 
  cultivated 
  plants 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey.
