The Ohio Naturalist. 
[Vol. XI, No. 3, 
from Maryland, has recently been sent to me from Pennsylvania 
in some material submitted by the Carnegie Museum. This 
specimen agrees perfectly with the type material, so that it 
strengthens the impression as to the distinctness of the species. 
The most evident character is the intensely black face. 
Scaphoideus opalinus Osb. 
20th Report N. Y. State Entomologist, 1904, p. (1905). 
This species was described from specimens taken in 1904 at 
Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., on red cedar, and it has been reported 
later from Riverton, N. J., Gowanda, N. Y., and Seven Oaks, 
Fla., by Mr. E. P. Van Duzee. The specimens from these differ- 
ent localities agree so perfectly with the type material that the 
species may be considered as well defined, although, as stated in 
my original description, it stands close to immistus in the immistus 
group. 
Scaphoideus obtusus Osb. 
No further undoubted specimens of this species have appeared 
since the original description, but Mr. Van Duzee has collected at 
Crescent City, Sanford, Seven Oaks, and Fort Myers in Florida, 
specimens which he is inclined to refer to this species. They 
appear to me to be somewhat closer to typical immistus than the 
type specimens of obtusus and so might be considered as connect- 
ing the form with that species; however, Mr. Van Duzee has 
taken one specimen at Lancaster, N. Y., which agrees distinctly 
with the type material, and so far as these specimens go there is a 
fairly distinct separation from immistus. 
Scaphoideus festivus Mats. 
Termesz Fuget, 25, p. 384, f. 14. 
This species described by Matsumuri for Japan has been 
recorded for other parts of the oriental region, Ceylon and British 
India, and is probably somewhat generally distributed in the 
oriental region. 
The species corresponds pretty closely with our immistus 
which it is said by Matsumuri to closely resemble and occupies for 
the old world about the same position that immistus does with us. 
Aside from the above species, two other species of the genus 
have been described from the old world 
Scaphoideus aegypticus Mats. 
Jour. Coll. Sc. Un. Tokyo, 23, No. G, p. 291, f. 7 (vide Oshanin). 
The only locality cited is Egypt. 
Scaphoideus horvathi Mats. 
Jour. Coll. Sc. Un. Tokyo, 23, No. 6, p. 29, tl f 7 (vide Oshanin). 
Described from Algeria.
