Brochymena arborea Say 



This is a stoat, grayish, rosy or red-marked tree bug about 5/g inch in 

 length. It is remarkable for the serrate and angular projections of the 

 pronotum and the large toothlike processes of the 

 head. We have taken this species at both Nassau 

 and Lansingburg N. Y., in the former locality on or 

 near willows, and in the latter probably about growths 

 of miscellaneous bushes. Mr Townsend gives its 

 distribution as the Atlantic States, while Professor 

 Osborn records it as common in Iowa. Dr Smith 

 lists it from Staten Island and a number of New Jersey 

 localities, stating that it is common about Caldwell.

Buffalo tree hopper 



. Cercsa bubal its Fabr. 



A grass-green, triangular two-horned leaf hopper, about 3-g inch long, may be met 

 with in the latter part of the summer on a number of trees and shrubs. 



This grotesque little 

 >v insect is a very common 

 species sometimes present 

 in considerable numbers. 

 It rarely inflicts much 

 injury on forest trees 

 and is important from an 

 economic aspect largely 

 on account of the dam- 

 age done to young fruit 

 trees.
