CATALOGUE OF INSECTS. 87 



Family FULGORIDiE. 



The "lantern-fly" family, represented by monstrous and bizarre forms in 

 tropical countries ; but in New Jersey by insignificant, though often odd, forms. 

 There is no real typical form of body in this family, some having long slender 

 thoracic processes, others none at all ; some have broad wings laid roof-like 

 along the sides, others have them narrow and almost flat over the abdomen. 



None that occur in our State are in the least harmful, while most of them may 

 be fairly accounted rare.
