AUTUMN NUMBER SH 
posterior portion of the hood is considerably larger, and more 
inflated posteriorly. The color markings are much broader, 
darker and more prominent. The other characters are quite 
similar to the typical form. Length, 4 mm.; width, 2.2 mm. 
This variety feeds on the southern hackberry, Celtis mississip- 
piensis Bosc. The type series, adults, nymphs and eggs, were 
taken by the writer at Columbus, Miss., June 22-24, 1921. Holo- 
type (male) and allotype (female) are in the writer’s collection; 
paratypes in collections of Mississippi Agriculture College, Iowa 
State College and writer. Other specimens are at hand from 
Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. 
C. celtidis Osborn & Drake feeds on the sugarberry hackberry, 
Celtis occidentalis L., and is widely distributed in eastern United 
States. It may be easily separated from the new variety by its 
smaller size, lighter color and the hood and median carina. 
Gargaphia amorphae Walsh. 
Common on False Indigo, Amorpha fruticosa L. Aberdeen, 
June 26, 1921; Columbus, July 23-25, 1921; Prairie, July 27, 
1921: Leland, Miss., Sept. 21, 1921, by the writer. Gelchossa 
oblonga Say was also taken in rather large numbers on the same 
food plant. 
Gargaphia binotata Parshley. 
Dunedin, Florida, Oct. 25, 1914, collected by Mr. W. S. Blatch- 
ley. 
Stephanitis blatchleyi, n. sp. 
Separated from S. (Leptobyrsa) rhododendri Horvath by its 
much smaller size much less inflated but longer hood, and nar- 
rower costal area of the elytra. It may be distinguished from 
S. pyroides Scott by the longer lateral carinae, the more strong- 
ly raised median carina, and the much smaller and less inflated 
hood. Length 3.2 mm.; width 1.7 mm. 
Hood long, moderately large, extending a little in front of the head, 
the length nearly two and a half times its width. Head, except eyes 
and lateral margins, concealed by the hood, the spines very short. Rostrum 
stout, long, extending slightly beyond the rostral channel. Rostral laminae 
considerably raised, gradually widening posteriorly on the meso—and 
metasternum. Median carina distinctly arched in front of the middle (arch 
nearly as high as the hood), subequal to the hood in length, and connected to 
the median nervure of hood near the base, about the middle of the 
posterior portion. Lateral carina long, uniseriate, slightly sinuate. Para- 
nota moderately expanded, mostly biseriate, elytra gradually expanded 
posteriorly, the tips rather widely separated and rounded; tumid elevation
