  plants, 
  as 
  mentioned 
  above, 
  whose 
  abundant 
  foliage 
  furnishes 
  the 
  

   requisite 
  shade. 
  The 
  adults 
  are 
  usually 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  younger 
  portions 
  

   of 
  the 
  stem.

  Osborn 
  reports 
  this 
  species 
  also 
  as 
  occurring 
  on 
  sugar 
  beets 
  in 
  

   Iowa. 
  Its 
  recorded 
  range 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  preceding 
  species, 
  

   and 
  it 
  also 
  occurs 
  in 
  Mexico 
  and 
  Vancouver, 
  having 
  evidently 
  a 
  very 
  

   wide 
  distribution 
  over 
  this 
  country. 
  We 
  have 
  collected 
  it 
  both 
  in 
  fields 
  

   and 
  woods, 
  from 
  rye, 
  blue-grass, 
  strawberries, 
  various 
  grasses 
  and 
  

   weeds, 
  and 
  from 
  grape-vines, 
  red 
  cedar, 
  apple, 
  and 
  pear. 
  In 
  the 
  Four- 
  

   teenth 
  Report 
  from 
  the 
  Office 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Entomologist 
  of 
  Illinois 
  (p. 
  

   22) 
  it 
  is 
  referred 
  to 
  as 
  injurious 
  to 
  corn. 
  Specimens 
  sent 
  to 
  Uhler 
  pre- 
  

   vious 
  to 
  that 
  time 
  had 
  been 
  named 
  by 
  him 
  Macropsis 
  nobilis 
  Harr., 
  and 
  

   this 
  name 
  — 
  by 
  which 
  M. 
  novellus 
  Say 
  was 
  probably 
  meant 
  — 
  was 
  there 
  

   used 
  to 
  designate 
  it. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  common 
  Illinois 
  species, 
  but 
  did 
  not 
  ap- 
  

   pear 
  last 
  summer 
  among 
  the 
  leaf-hoppers 
  seen 
  by 
  us 
  on 
  sugar 
  beets. 
  

   Like 
  the 
  preceding, 
  it 
  winters 
  over 
  in 
  the 
  nymphal 
  stage. 
  ^The 
  hiber- 
  

   nating 
  nymphs 
  transform 
  more 
  slowly 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  A. 
  4-punctata, 
  and 
  

   the 
  adults 
  from 
  them 
  are 
  common 
  till 
  near 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  July. 
  These 
  pro- 
  

   duce 
  young 
  in 
  August 
  — 
  about 
  a 
  month 
  later 
  than 
  4-punctata 
  — 
  which 
  

   approach 
  maturity 
  by 
  fall, 
  and 
  winter 
  over 
  in 
  leaves 
  and 
  rubbish. 
  

  

  Agallia 
  sanguinolenta 
  Prov. 
  

  

  {^Bythoscopus 
  siccifolius 
  Bruner. 
  ) 
  

  

  This 
  species, 
  our 
  commonest 
  Agallia, 
  seems 
  to 
  range 
  over 
  nearly 
  the 
  

   whole 
  United 
  States, 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  Mexico 
  and 
  British 
  America.
