  A 
  single 
  alate 
  viviparous 
  female 
  was 
  taken 
  on 
  a 
  wild 
  Rhododendron 
  

   on 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  Mount 
  Mitchell, 
  N. 
  C, 
  altitude 
  2,100 
  meters, 
  by 
  Carlo 
  

   Zeimet 
  on 
  August 
  29, 
  1922. 
  Mr. 
  Zeimet 
  says 
  that 
  two 
  other 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  were 
  observed 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  but 
  were 
  not 
  captured. 
  This 
  

   is 
  evidently 
  a 
  native 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  wild 
  forest, 
  as 
  no 
  cultivated 
  areas 
  

   were 
  close 
  at 
  hand. 
  The 
  following 
  description 
  and 
  the 
  drawings 
  are 
  

   from 
  the 
  one 
  specimen. 
  No 
  other 
  records 
  have 
  been 
  received. 
  

  

  Alate 
  viviparous 
  female. 
  — 
  Antennae 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  body, 
  black, 
  

   heavily 
  tuberculate; 
  hairs 
  conspicuous, 
  not 
  capitate, 
  about 
  0.32 
  mm. 
  

   long. 
  Antennal 
  measurements 
  as 
  follows:
