Subfamily Gyponina, Stal. 



GYPONA, Germ. 



320. G. 8-lineata, Say. 



Of this beautiful species I have taken but one male and two 

 female examples; all at Lancaster. 



321. G. flavilineata, Fitch (=.striafa, Burm?) 



Under this name I place the large pale form with the elytra 

 reticulated only at apex. It is quite abundant on various plants 

 and trees through July and Aug. 



322. G. quebecensis, Prov. 



This is a smaller, darker green species with the elytra retic- 

 ulated almost to base. I have taken it only on hemlocks, from 

 July to Sept. 



323. G. scarlatina, Fitch. 



Occasional on hickory trees through July and Aug. 



PENTHIMIA, Germ. 



324. P. americana, Fitch. 



Occurs rarely on hickory, maple and other trees from May 

 to July. Occasionally it ma3' be beaten from low bushes in 

 deep woods and along their borders. The male was described 

 by Walker as vicaria. 



FAMILY JASSID^. 

 Subfamily Acocephalina, Van D. > 



STRONGYLOCEPHALUS, Flor. 



325. S. agrestis, Fallen. 



One example was swept from a swampy meadow at East 

 Concord, May 18, 1889. 



ACOCEPHALUS, Germ. 



326. A. mixtus, .Say. 



Not uncommon on thin fine grass in old meadows and along 

 roadsides and fence-rows where the ground is bedded with moss 

 among which the males are most frequently taken. The females 

 seem to wander farther and may sometimes be captured in the 

 sweep-net. Many males were taken under stones along the 

 roadside at Lewiston in July 1892. 



XESTOCEPHALUS, Van D. 



327. X. pulicarius, Van D. 



Sometimes abundant in dry meadows from July to Sept. 



328. X. fulvocapitatus, Van D. 



Occurs occasionally with the preceding of which it may be 

 but a variety. It is larger, with 8 fulvous head and the elytra 

 are more coarsely maculated.
