Neocoelidia Gillette and Baker. 



Short and robust, head narrower than pronotum, short, rather 

 bluntly conical. Pronotum short and broad, scutellum large. 

 Elytra broad with four apical cells, appendix wanting, first sector 

 branched once on apical two-thirds. 

 N. tumidifrons Gillette and Baker. (Fig. 10, 14.) 



Hemip. Col., 104, 1895. 



Robust, uniformly pale yellowish or greenish, often tinged with 

 orange. Basal angles of scutellum usually with black spots. 

 Length 3.5-4.5 mm -

North Branford, 12 June, 1921, 16 June, 1922 (B. H. W.). 



Paracoelidea Baker. 



With about the same characters as found in the preceding genus,

 TJiamnotettix. One species has been described in this genus. 

 P. tuberculata Baker. 



Can. Ent, xxx, 292, 1898. 



Vertex produced and subacute, yellowish, elytra subhyaline with 

 internal margin and apex slightly infuscated. Female segment 

 truncated. Male valves long, tapering, plates obtuse at tips. 

 Length 5 mm. 



Common on pine in New England. Massachusetts is cited as 

 a type locality, and since it occurs on Long Island and in New 

 Jersey will undoubtedly be found on pines at intervening points. 



Cicadula Zetterstedt. 



Macrosteles Fieber. 



Thamnus Fieber. 



Limotettix Sahlberg. 



Vertex slightly obtusely angled or rounded at apex, longer on 

 middle than next eyes and rounding to front. Elytra exceeding
