“Pale fulvous; form similar to S. scalaris, Van Duz., but with a longer 
and wider head and antennae nearly as long as the wing-cover. Vertex a 
little longer than its width between the eyes, almost flat, very pale fulvous, 
with a series of brown dots around the anterior submargin and some less 
regular ones on the middle, occasionally with two or three ivory-white dots 
before the middle; front irregularly clouded with pale brown, bounded above 
by a slender dark brown line. Clypeus broad, bluntly rounded, marked 
with a brown subapical spot; the rostrum reaching to the middle coxae. 
Eyes with a dark brown band below. Antennae dark brown, paler at base. 
Pronotum triangularly sublimate, well advanced into the deeply sinuated 
vertex, the surface minutely scabrous, transversely wrinkled, polished, 
dotted with pale yellow anteriorly, and minutely speckled with the same 
color behind the middle; the posterior angles subacute, a little produced, 
the posterior margin slightly sinuated. Scutellum with a dark brown spot 
in the basal angles; the disk a little marbled with brown. Wing-covers 
marked with three brown spots on the inner margin of the clavus, each of 
which has an acute white spot at the tip; veins white interrupted with 
brown, margins pale; the costal margin has a series of broader white streaks 
adjoining it inwardly, four large apical cells pale at base, bounded by brown 
veins, the apex a little dusky; wings smoky, with dark brown veins. Beneath 
and legs pale yellow, the tibiae somewhat marked with brown; the tarsal 
joints, nails, and spots at origin of the tibial spines dark brown; the spines 
pale brown. Last ventral segment of the female deeply notched, the valves 
of ovipositor set with long, brown, stiff bristles; tergum blackish, with 
pale edges to the segments and a pale tip. 
“Length to end of venter 3 l 4 mm., to tip of wing-covers 5 mm.; width 
of pronotum, 1 mm. 
“Five specimens, all females, were secured on the island. One 
was taken at an altitude of 1500 feet above the sea, and two were ■ 
collected at Kingstown.” 
Scaphoideus lobatus Van D. 
This rather rare species described by Van Duzee from New 
York has been taken in Ohio at Milan, and I have seen specimens 
from Balsam, N. C., Madison, N. J., Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., 
and it has been reported in Iowa, so that it may be considered as 
occupying the northern part of the United States, extending 
south on the elevated Appalachian region. Nothing has been 
added concerning its life history 
Scaphoideus blandus Ball. 
Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXIII, p. 7. 
This species described by Professor Ball in 1901 has the 
general appearance of jucundus, but is smaller and duller looking, 
the reddish tinge of that species being lacking. The costal margin 
of elytra with numerous regular cells. Length five millimeters; 
width 1.1 millimeters. This species was described from various 
localities in Colorado, and has not been recorded from any other 
region.
