 Collected in eastern New York, [Fitch] Buffalo, [Van Duzee]. 



This species has suffered many generic changes due to its possess- 

 ing m some degree characters relating it to manv groups. While 

 It shows some faint ramose lines on elytra, the character of the vertex 

 and Its general facies seem to place it more properly with the species 

 included under Eutettix. 



In Fitch's type the head is subangular, longer on middle than next 

 the eye, narrower than pronotum, the transverse depression on 

 vertex scarcely visible, no trace of irrorations on the elvtra, the last 

 ventral segment simple, very slightly convex, about twice as lon^ as 

 preceding.
