Homop. N. Y. St. Cab., 64, 1851. 



Nymphal stages passed on maple. Similar to P. negundinis but 

 readily distinguished by ringed antenna and the fact that it seems 

 to be restricted to maple. Nymphs abundant on maple (Acer 

 sacchariim). 



Middletown, 17-31, May, 191 1. Nymphs usually but not always on 

 ventral side of leaf which they resemble closely in color. Adults collected 

 May 30-31 and by middle of June were foimd alighting on other vegetation 

 (W. C. W.).
