238. Aphrophora saratogensis Fitch. 

 Crescent City; one example. 



239. Clastoptera proteus var. flava Ball. 

 Crescent City; one example only. 



240. Clastoptera proteus var. vittata Ball. 

 A single example taken at Sevenoaks. 



241. Clastoptera xanthocephala Germar. 



Abundant everywhere in Florida. Most of the specimens 

 taken are of the typical black form as described by Germar but 

 I took a few of the pale glaucous form. Both forms varied 

 much in depth of coloring and in size from 3 to 4 mm. 



Family Membracidse. 



242. Ceresa brevity lus VanDuzee. 



I took a good series of this species at Crescent City and 

 Sanford all but one of which were females. They agree in 

 wanting the black marks on the pectus and femora. In my 

 description the length of this species was inadvertently omit- 

 ted. It is for the male 6 to 6^2 mm, and for the female 7 to 7^ 

 mm. The short recurved horns, convex metopidium and short 

 tylus will distinguish the species. 



243. Ceresa aculeata n. sp. 



Allied to taurina but easily disting- 

 uished by the short tylus and the feebly 

 emarginate last ventral segment in the 

 female. Length 8 mm. 



Face uneven, most of its surface covered with 

 longitudinal; curved or somewhat oblique rugae 

 fading into vague punctures about the clypeus; an- 

 terior margin regularly arcuated, obtusely emarg- 

 inate next the short and broad clypeus which when 

 viewed from before but little exceeds the line of 

 the cheeks and is clothed with a few stiff hairs at 

 the rounded apex; when viewed from the side the 

 median line is nearly straight. Sides of the meto- 

 pidium moderately divergent to the long horizontal
