forms are coasequently found much later in the season. This 

 larva is a verv difficult one to rear. Abraded adults present a 

 strong resemblance toCulicada subcantans and C. 

 abfitchii. Males of this species are easily separated from the 

 two last named, since the basal clasp segments bear a conical tuber- 

 culate process thicldy set with numerous long, stout setae, a stm?- 

 ture practically absent inCulicada abfitchii, and one thit 

 is represented only by a rudimentary lobe and a conspicious slight 7 

 curved, chitinous spine in Culicada subcantans.
