the apex of the median carina, are black as are most of the hem- 
ielytral nervures. Areolae of the hood, the discoidal, and the sutural 
areas are fumeus as are the cells of the basal and apical bands. Al- 
though the color pattern of S. pyrioides is similar, the paranota and 
the discoidal elevations are nearly colorless and in all areas the 
coloration is brownish and much less intense. Only the areolae of 
the hemielytral bands are fully infuscated. 
Interesting differences are seen in the relative proportions of the 
hoods and pronotal carinae of these two species. In S. globulifera 
the much inflated, globose hood is twice as high at its peak as the 
crest of the median carina while in S. pyrioides the hood and carina 
are sub-equal in height. Both species have the lateral carinae much 
reduced in length as compared with S. rhododendri. However, in 
S. globulifera they are half again as long as the distance between 
their anterior ends and the back of the hood while in S. pyrioides 
they are about as long as the distance between their anterior ends 
and the back of the hood. In S. globulifera the hood is much wider 
than the distance between the lateral carinae while in S. pyrioides 
the hood is only slightly wider. Both species have the paranota 
almost vertical rather than flaring as in S. rhododendri. Although 
differences in the relative lengths of the antennites and differences 
in other features can be shown, they are slight and those indicated 
are adequate for the ready separation of the three species now oc- 
curring in New England.
