 on the first joint twice as long as the other mark, with which it 

 is often united at the apical end of the joint. Tegmina some-

Our most common species ; found on tall weeds and bushes 

 along the roadsides, fence-corners, and the edges of swamps. 

 Much of the damage credited to niveus may be due to this species. 

 The writer has observed fasciatus ovipositing in Spiraea sp. in 

 a nursery. Occurs throughout the state.
