The late Miss Cora H. Clarke sent me a lot of the galls of, this 
species collected late in September, 1914, which did not produce 
adults before March (indoor), 1916, and Mr. Weld has had 
adults issue the second, third and fourth years. It is allied to 
C. nigrescens. 
Neuroterus pacificus sp. nov. 
Neuroterus batatus FuLLAway, Ann. Ent. Soc. Am., Vol. IV, 
TOTTI, p. 334. 
The species described by David T. Fullaway as Neuroterus batatus 
Fitch from California.on Quercus lobata is not this species and I propose 
for it the name Neuroterus pacificus. Dr. Isabel McCracken kindly sent 
me some of Fullaway’s material as well as some collected by herself and 
Miss Dorothy B. Egbert. The galls occur on Quercus lobata, Q. kellogg 
and Q. douglasi. The species is double ‘brooded and the early summer 
galls are on the under sides of the leaves and the late summer galls are 
hard, woody swellings on the terminal twigs, containing numerous long, 
oval larval cells imbedded in the soft: spongy interior of the gall. 
NOTES ON SOME CICADELLINE IN THE UNITED STATES 
NATIONAL MUSEUM, WASHINGTON, D. C. 
By Curis. E. OLseN, Maspeth, L. I., N. Y. 
Through the kindness of Mr. Edmund H. Gibson, the writer 
has had the privilege of examining a miscellaneous lot of Cica- 
delline from the collection of the United States National Mu- 
seum, Washington, D.C. Among this material were many inter- 
esting captures, with records worthy of mention, some for their 
corroboration of rare records, others for extension of the present 
known range of distribution, still others because of their taxo- 
nomical notes and a few on account of notes on habits. There is 
at the least one addition to the list of North American species 
north of Mexico. Much of the material is from the Uhler Col- 
lection, a good deal came from the Fitch Collection, the rest are 
from various sources.
