MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, 



1915- 



This is a broad robust species, gray brown in color and about four 

 milliineters in length. There are four distinct dark dots above, two on 

 the head and two on the pronotum. Length 4 mm. 



The species is very generally distributed over the country and we 

 would expect to find it over most of the state especially as it was 

 described by Provancher from Quebec, but it has occurred in the col- 

 lecting of the season of 1913 only in two localities being taken by Prof. 

 A. P. Morse at Grand Lakes Stream and by Mr. C. P. Alexander at 

 Houlton. In 1914 it was taken a number of times at Orono in July and 

 August. 



It feeds on a variety of plants but if the past two seasons are any 

 criterion it will not be of any economic consequence in Maine.

A slender light colored species with two small black spots on the 

 vertex, a dark line along the suture. Length, 3.5-4 mm. 



Not common in collections this season. Collected by Mr. Stover at 

 Dexter. I secured a number by sweeping along the roadside near the 

 Bangoj- Bog Aug. 5th, and at North Harpswell Aug. 12th and Mr. Alex- 

 ander collected a few from firs June loth. An adult female was col- 

 lected from Cornus July 24, 1914, at Orono. It is evidently of little or 

 no economic importance in Maine.
