As Ball has pointed out this species must have been the basis 



for records of hieroglvphica in localities east of Illinois. 



It is light reddish or grayish green, the head with several Imes 



on the vertex doubled on each other and nearly parallel with 



median line, and prominent spot at apex black. Length 5.5 mm

This is so distinct and well marked a species that it has never 

 been in doubt and the tvpes are still in fair state of preser^'atlon. 

 The whitish color with light brown stripes and three conspicuous 

 black dots on the head at once characterize it. While not an 

 abundant species in collections it is pretty generally distributed 

 and I secured specimens during August at Salem, Jamaica and 

 Staten Island and Mr Barber has sent a specimen from Cold Sprmg 

 Harbor. » r. ■ ^
