DORATURA STYLATA BOHM IN MASSACHUSETTS 
By Geo. W. Barber. 
Cereal and Forage Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology, 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
The discovery of Doratura stylata Bohm. in Massachusetts 
adds an interesting leafhopper to our constantly growing list of 
insect immigrants. During 1923 three specimens of this species 
have been taken as follows: 
A brachypterous female, Marshfield, Mass., August 3, 
A brachypterous male, Plymouth, Mass., August 1. 
A macropterous female, Plymouth, Mass., September 11. 
Specimens collected in Plymouth were taken by sweeping in 
a cranberry bog grown up to grass, the specimen from Marsh- 
field by sweeping coarse grass in a fresh water marsh. 
This species is adequately described and figured by Melichar 
1896 (Cicadinen von Mittel-Europa, p. 210). It is apparently 
not uncommon both in continental Europe and in England. 
Buckton 1891 (Monograph of the British Cicadse or Tettigidae 
Vol. 2, p. 20) notes that the macropterous forms are extremely 
rare. 
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CAMBRIDGE ENTOMO- 
LOGICAL CLUB. 
The meetings of the Club were resumed on September 11, 
1923. Prof. Z. P. Metcalf of the North Carolina Agricultural 
Station who had spent the summer in Boston read a paper on 
‘^The Station Entomologist’’ from the various standpoints of 
the public, the profession and the entomologist himself. 
A letter was read from Mr. Austin Clark, a former member 
who had been in the neighborhood of Boston part of the summer 
and had collected butterflies especially Feniseca tarquinius 
which was unusually abundant.
