Aphrophora fascialis Walker. Ins. Saund., Horn., 93, 1858. 



This species is distinguished readily from others of the same 

 genus by its smaller size, dark grayish-brown color, and the 

 presence of two large distinct hyaline areas on the costal margins 

 of the elytra. Length 7-8 mm. ; width 3-3.5 mm. 



Vertex, length on middle one-third greater than at eye, medially 

 elevated, moderately, sharply carinate, entire anterior margin 

 broadly rounding, reflexed to form slightly depressed areas 

 between margins and median elevation; tylus, length one-half 

 width, sharply carinate; front scarcely inflated, distinctly acute- 

 angled with vertex; pronotum, length one-half width, disc 

 roughened, median carina weakening posteriorly, lateral margins 

 parallel, sharply carinate; elytra moderately broad, costal margin 

 flaring before middle ; punctures setigerous. 



Genitalia : Female, last ventral segment strongly convex, length 

 less than that of preceding; py gofers, length one-third greater 

 than width, outer margins roundingly, obliquely angulate at end 

 of basal third and deeply, abruptly incurved at apical third, 

 exceeded by ovipositor slightly less than one-third their length. 

 Male, last two ventral segments abruptly narrowing, elongate, 

 strongly convex; plates small, length one-half their basal width, 

 separated at base by their own width, inner margins parallel, outer 

 margins rounding to acutely angulate apex. 



Color : Constant, dark grayish-brown ; vertex and anterior half 

 of pronotum lighter; costal margins at base, oblique band from 

 scutellum broadening to beyond middle on costa, marginal spot 

 at apex and apical reticulations accentuated in deep brown; vari- 

 able areas, triangular on middle of costal margin and elongate on 

 margin before apex hyaline, 



Distribution: Specimens have been examined from the New 

 England States, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, 

 District of Columbia, Tennessee, Ohio, Ontario (Can.), Wiscon- 

 sin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas. It has been reported from 

 Georgia, Florida, and Nebraska (Ball) ; and from North
