Article III. — Notes on Homoptcra from Illinois, with Descriptions 

 of Neiv Forms, chiefiy Eupteryginae. By W. L. McAtee. 



The records given herein supplement those in a previous paper (Bui. 

 111. State Nat. Hist. Survey, Vol. XV, Art. II, April, 1924, pp. 39-44) 

 along similar lines, and constitute a report on various lots of Homoptera, 

 chiefly Eupteryginae submitted to the writer for determination. The 

 species of the genus Tvphloc\ba are treated in a previous paper (Proc. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol." 68, Art. 18, pp. 1-47), and those of the genus 

 Empoasca are held pending revisional study. 



Family PSYLLIDAE 



Genus Calophya Loew 



Calophya pallidula new species 



With well-developed genal cones, contiguous at base, rather acute and 

 outcurved at apex, this species is more closely related to C. flavida 

 Schwarz than to any other species. It is of about the same size (body 

 1.5 mm., fore wing, 1.9 mm.), but is pale greenish yellow instead of 

 "honey yellow" or fulvous, the wings hyaline, not fumose, and the 

 pterostigma shorter, about % the length of the cell it bounds costally, 

 instead of j-i as in C. flavida. 



Holotype and paratype (1) females, Meredosia, Illinois, May 29, 

 1917. 



Holotype and paratype deposited in the collection of the Illinois State 

 Natural History Survey. 



Family Fulgoridae 



Genus Cedusa Fowler 

 C. fediisa McAtee.— Cedar Lake, Aug. 4, 1906 ; also Nos. 580 and 

 15196. 



C. kedusa McAtee. — Antioch, Aug. 1, 1924, T. H. Prison. 



Genus Otiocerus Kirby 

 0. wolfii Kirby.— Metropolis, 111., Sept. 3, 1924, T. H. Prison. This 

 species, according to its describer, has only one appendage to the antenna 

 in the males. The male at hand has two appendages but otherwise agrees 

 with the original description and with the identification of the species by 

 Pitch (Trans. N. Y. State Agr. Soc. 16, 1856, p. 394) in contrasting it 

 with his 0. amyotii. Because of the usual imperfection of specimens the 

 taxonomic value of these appendages is not well understood, and it seems 

 best at present to base determination on other characters.
