NO. 34.] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT: CICADELLIDAE. 97 



ish subhyaline, nervures dark, reflexed costal veins and apex 

 broadly fuscous. Length 5 mm. 



Occurs in small numbers on herbaceous plants during June, July 

 and August. 



Branford, 28 July, 1905 (H. L. V.) ; New Haven, 1 Aug., 1920, 4 July,

S. consors Uhler. 



Trans. Md. Acad. Sci., i, 36, 1889. 



Vertex brownish with similar markings to scalaris, but they are 

 not so distinct and blended more nearly with the color of the 

 vertex. Pronotum with a paler spot behind either eye and a 

 median longitudinal line. Ocelli large, pale. Elytra brownish, 

 subhyaline, with only a suggestion of the pale spots on claval 

 suture, nervures brown, apical margin and costal veinlets broadly 

 black. Length 5.5-6 mm. 



In wooded areas and waste places during July and August on 

 herbaceous plants.

S. scalaris Van Duzee. 



Ent. Amer., vi, 51, 1890. 



Resembling consors but easily distinguished from it by smaller 

 size and a light mark on elytral suture, formed by three white 

 spots along margin. Vertex with a fulvous spot next each eye, 

 a marginal line, two behind margin not quite meeting on median 

 line, a short strongly curved one just behind and joining these two, 

 and a median longitudinal line on posterior half, black. Length 

 5 mm. 



In some places this is an abundant pasture and meadow species 

 and occurs also on herbaceous plants in woodland from June to 

 September. It is perhaps rather rare in Connecticut, and occurs in 

 August and September. 

 S, lobatus Van Duzee. (PI. ii, 7.) 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 199, 211, 1894. 



Vertex yellowish or whitish with a line above and parallel to 

 margin, and a transverse line between eyes enlarged to a spot on 

 disc, brown. Pronotum mottled with brown. Elytra milky white, 

 nervures broadly brown or black and numerous heavy and large 

 blackish blotches or inscribed lines. The portions of elytra along 

 scutellum and claval suture white with three rather definite white 

 lobes along commissural line. Length 6 mm. 



In open woods this species is quite common on Solidago caesia, 

 and perhaps other herbaceous plants, but great numbers have been 

 collected the past season from this plant during August and 

 September.
