soil. These eight collections yielded 14 females, 4 males, and 8 
nymphs. In 1958, six collections in the same area gave 6 females, 10 
males, and 14 nymphs. The first specimens were taken on June 9th 
in 1957 and the last for the season on September 7th in 1958. Nymphs 
were taken as early as June 12th and as late as August 31st. Teneral 
adults occurred from as early as June 22nd until as late as August 
17th. These data confirm the opinion that C. bellula Bueno should 
be found throughout New England in areas ecologically suitable. 
Stephanitis globulifera (Matsumura) 
West Hartford, Connecticut, August 25, 1958. They were abun- 
dant on Pieris japonica (Thunberg) Don used as foundation plants 
in front of a fairly new house in a recent development. This species 
first reported from North America in 1950 (Bailey) is apparently 
well-established in Connecticut, but I have yet to collect it elsewhere. 
Stephanitis pyrioides (Scott) 
West Newbury (Cherry Hill), Massachusetts, August 20, 1958. 
Nymphs and adults were found on young stock of several deciduous 
azalea species and hybrids growing in a lath house. 
Stephanitis rhododendri Horvath 
Petersham (Harvard Forest), Massachusetts, July 17 and 18, 
! 95 !. 
The first collection was made from Kahnia latifolia L., a frequent 
host. The next day a few were found on K. angustifolia L. Al- 
though this is a very common shrub in eastern Massachusetts and 
Maine and, although it is on record as a host for this lace bug, this is 
my only collection from lambkill. 
Corythucha bellula Gibson 
Katahdin Trail, Maine, August 14, 1959; Gorham, New Hamp- 
shire, July 21, 1958. 
This is the first record of the species from New Hampshire where 
it was found on roadside Cory bus. Note below that C. coryli O. and 
D. also occurs in this state. The ecology of these two species in their 
contact zone should be a fruitful study since both utilize the same 
host. The Maine collection noted is a large one of particular interest 
since they were all taken from Salix. 
Corythucha caryae Bailey 
Scituate, Rhode Island, September 23, 1958. 
This interesting range extension of a species previously collected 
only from a relatively limited area in eastern New Hampshire and
