No. 34-] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT: CICADELLIDAE. 93 



across middle and another covering apical and a part of anteapical 

 cells. Length, male 7 mm., female 9 mm. 



A rather rare form, occurring on sedges, around swamps and 

 lagoons. Has been found in New York and Massachusetts. 



Spangbergiella Signoret. 



Head strongly produced before the eyes, flat, ocelli on sharp 

 margin near eyes. Pronotum twice wider than long, elytra with 

 four apical cells. Clavus with one vein. 

 S. vulnerata (Uhler). Glossocratus viilnerata Uhler. 



Bull. U. S. Geo!. Geog. Surv. Terr., iii, 464, 1877. 



Long and slender, green with two oblique red lines on vertex 

 and two on pronotum, and a median one on posterior portion of 

 pronotum. Elytra with veins yellowish. Length, female 8 mm., 

 male 5.5 mm. 



This southern form has worked northward along the coast and 

 has been taken in New Jersey and New York, so may occur in 

 Connecticut on low vegetation. 



Parabolocratus Fieber. 



Qosely allied to two preceding genera, vertex roundingly pro- 

 duced, fiat and thin. Clavus with two veins, elytra with four 

 short apical cells. 



These species are closely allied in structural characters and 

 general appearance and are found in similar habitats usually in 

 moist or swampy areas on rank grasses. 



Key to Species. 



I. Rather small, 6 mm., head flattened and well rounded, usually with 

 ovipositor conspicuous, extending just beyond elytra as viewed 



from above viridis 



Larger, females 7.5-8 mm. males 6 mm., vertex more broadly 

 rounded and margin drawn out into a thin edge, elytra shorter major 



P. viridis (Uhler). Glossocratus viridis \J\\\tv. (Fig. 9, 4a, b.) 



Bull. U. S. Geol. Geog. Surv. Terr., iii, 462, 1877. 



Green or yellow unmarked, head broad, fiat, well rounded 

 before, elytra short not covering ovipositor, often brownish at 

 apices. Length 6 mm. 



A very common form in damp rank grassy places in early 

 summer. Professor Osborn reports this species as feeding on 

 Stipa spartea. It is a very abundant form often in moist pastures, 

 in swamps and swamp meadows, on the coarse grasses and sedges.
