Dec.,1918 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society 121 
would strongly suggest a color variety, but fresh material would 
be desired to ascertain this. 
Dreculacephala balli Van Duzee. Many specimens from Ope- 
lousas, La.,no date, G. R. Pilate; one specimen from Selma, Ala., 
Aug. 28, 1910, E. A. Schwartz, with the notation “ Sucking Cot- 
ton Leaves.” This is the first remark suggesting a food habit of 
this species. 
Dreculacephala acuta?? (Walker). Several specimens from 
Phoenix, Ariz., and Texas that somewhat fit Walker’s description. 
Dreculacephala bradleyi Van Duzee. From Duval Co., Fla., 
no date and collector given. And one specimen labeled “ Beauf., 
N. C.” (undoubtedly abbreviation for Beaufort, North Carolina). 
This record quite extends the range of. distribution northward, 
as it was reported previously only from Florida and southern 
Georgia. 
Dreculacephala noveboracensis (Fitch). One specimen with 
a label marked “Diedrocephala noveboracensis N. Y. Fitch 
“Type,” and below on another label repeated the above with 
additional note “Det Un LER” a small label with the number 
“2032” written in black ink with a red line above and below. I 
have been informed by the New York State Museum that they 
possess, among a series of types arranged by Dr. Fitch in 1850, a 
specimen labeled “ Aulacizes noveboracensis, number 752, fe- 
male.” This is without doubt the true type and the United States 
National Museum specimen is not a type. 
Dreculacephala sagittifera (Uhler). From Brownsville, Texas, 
May 1, 1904, H. S. Barber, and Victoria, Texas, July 25, 1902, 
W. E. Hinds. These are the first records of this species occur- 
ting north of Mexico; it is not uncommon in the West Indies. 
Uhler’s description is from specimens from St. Vincent, W. I. 
Some specimens from El Centro, California, Aug. 15, 1916, F. 
A. McGregor, are rather uncertain, but for want of better mate- 
rial they may be placed under the above species. 
The genus Cicadella will be reported in a separate paper.
