LAWSON: KANSAS CICADELLID^. 245 



Hosts: Taken in abundance at lights. De Long records it 

 from the same hosts as mali, namely, beans, peas, alfalfa, and 

 apple. 



Genus Eupteryx Curt. 



No members of this genus have yet been reported from Kan- 

 sas. Unlike the three preceding genera the sectors of the hind 

 wings end in the wing margin instead of in a marginal vein, 

 and they differ from the two following genera in having four 

 sectors instead of three. 



McAtee shows that the old name Euptenjx should be re- 

 tained for the genus rather than the name Tijphlocijba as used 

 by Van Duzee in his catalogue. 



Genus Typhlocyba Germ. 



The members of this genus are characterized by having the 

 first and third apical cells of the elytra contiguous at the base, 

 by lacking a marginal vein in the hind wings, and having only 

 three sectors reaching the margin of the wing. 



Only one species has been taken in the state.
