The species however is so distinct that it seems safe to describe 

 it from an imperfect example. 



Cicadula sex-notata Fallen. 



I took numbers of this species at Rock Fort near Kingston 

 on March 25th. These differ in no respect from those found in 

 the northern states except that they are smaller, measuring 

 but 2 to 2^ mm. to the tip of the elytra. 



Balclutha sp. 



Rock Fort near Kingston, two examples. This genus, 

 formerly known as Gnatkodus, is difficult to study without more 

 material than I have at my command. The present species 

 seems to be most nearly related to viridis Osborn but differs in 

 some respects. 



Balclutha sp. 



Two examples of another species I cannot determine were 

 taken at Rock Fort. These are marked with black somewhat 

 as in abdominalis but have the ocelli distant from the eyes and 

 do not pertain to Baker's genus Eiignathodus. ■ 



Eualebra rubra n. sp. 



White; base of the pronotum, scutellum and basal one half of the elytra 

 orange red marked with irregular dots of purple-black. These dots are com- 

 posed of minute purple points on a whitish ground which in most cases they 

 almost entirely cover; they are arranged as follows: three small ones on the 

 base of the vertex; three larger ones on the anterior submargin of the pro- 

 notum, the median ovate, the lateral elongated and somewhat angled and 

 almost attaining the humeral angles; a small one on the propleura; a square 

 median one on the base of the scutellum; a very minute one at each basal 

 angle of the scutellum and the basal angles of its apical field; three on the 

 clavus, the median of which is larger and irregular; and five on the corium, 

 one basal, a larger median one almost divided in two, and three beyond this 

 is a transverse row forming a line with the posterior spot on the clavus, the 

 two near the costa very small; the spots in the terminal row are more open, 

 showing the minute dots on the pale ground plainly. The red color on the 

 elytra terminates very abruptly with a broken indistinct brown line; the apex 

 of the elytra beyond this line pale yellowish hyaline, immaculate, with the 

 nervures indistinguishable. Apex of the wings pale yellowish hyaline, the 

 base beneath the red portion of the elytra clear smoky hyaline, iridescent. 

 Beneath white with the clypeus and a point on the disk of the plates of the 

 male black; disk of the venter embrowned. 



Vertex strongly angularly produced, the anterior edge thickened and 

 rolled over on to the base of the front; apparently notched above the base of 

 the antennse. Front strongly depressed, flat and horizontal and sunken 

 below the level of the cheeks and tumid basal margin. Length 2 l / 2 mm.
