No. 34-] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT: FULGORIDAE. 5 1 



P. nervatus Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 241, 1897. 



A stout square-looking insect which cannot well be confused 

 with any other described Delphacid. It is found throughout the 

 eastern United States and must occur in Connecticut. 

 P. flabellatus Ball. 



Can. Ent., xxxv, 232, 1903. 



A brown species with most of the pronotum, the scutellum and 

 the apical margin of the elytra white, and the tergum with a series 

 of short marks on either side and the dorsal line white. It has 

 been reported from New York to the District of Columbia and 

 should occur in Connecticut. Phyllodinus koebelei Osborn, 

 described a few months later, seems to differ very little if at all, 

 from this species. 



Laccocera Van Duzee. 



L. vittipennis Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 242, 1897. 



This very distinct species has the short square head of the 

 preceding genus but can at once be distinguished by the row of 

 pitted granules on the front and pronotal carinae. It is mostly 

 black, with a broad white vitta on either side below and a broader 

 one on the dorsum, leaving the basal angles of the scutellum deep 

 black. The milky elytra have a fuscous vitta along the suture and 

 a short discal one at apex. This species is found in New 

 Hampshire and may occur in Connecticut. 



Stobaera Stal. 



This genus can be roughly distinguished by the maculated elytra 



with conspicuously punctated nervures; the rather large and 

 pustulated antennae, the narrow and sometimes transversely banded 

 front. The lateral carinae of the pronotum follow nearly the 

 contour of the eye until they bend abruptly to the hind margin. 



Key to Species. 



Face crossed by a brown band between the eyes followed by a creamy 

 white one and that by a black one on the apex of the front ; 

 clypeus pale tricarinata 



Face pale brown, darker between the eyes, marked with a transverse 

 white line at the lower angle of the eyes and a few white points 



pallida 



S. tricarinata (Say). 



Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., iv, 237, 1825. 



In this species the elytra are marked with an oblique fuscous 

 vitta from the pterostigma to the inner apical angle. This vitta 

 gives off two branches to the apical margin, the inner broader and 

 returning along the margin toward the inner angle. Mr. Craw-
