BIRCH APHIDS. 513 
96. Bytho8copu8 seminudus Say. 
Mrs. Dimmock's note on this insect (Psyche, iv, p. 241) is as follows: 
Bythoscopus seminudus Say (Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phil., 1829 [Mch. 1831], v. 6, p. 
307). Fitch (4th Ann. Rept. [N. Y.] State Cat. Nat. Hist., 1851, p. 58) writes, "found 
on birch trees." 
97. Callaphi s betulella Walsh. 
The notes on the following five insects are by Mrs. K. Dim mock 
(Psyche, iv, p. 240): 
Callaphis betulella Walsh (Proc. Entoin. Soc, Phil., Dec. 1862, v. 1, p. 301,302). 
Walsh (I. c, p. 302) says this species is abundant in llliuois on Betula nigra. 
98. Callipteru8 betulcecolens (Fitch). 
Callipterus betulwcoleus Riley and Monell (Bull. U. S. Geol. and Geog. Surv. Terr. 
1879, v. 5, p. 30,31) \1=Aphi8 betulwcoleus Fitch (4th Ann. Rept. [N. Y.] State Cat. 
Nat. Hist., 1851, p. 66)], said by Fitch and Monell to feed on birch leaves. 
99. Eriosoma tessellata Fitch. 
Eriosoma tessellata Fitch (4th Ann. Rept. [N. Y.] State Cat. Nat. Hist, 1851, p. 68). 
According to Glover (Rept. U. S. Commiss. Agric, 1876, p. 39) this species has been 
found in Maryland upon twigs of Betula. 
100. Hormaphis papyracew Oestlund. 
Found on the paper birch, corrugating ttiem between the veins, forming long folds. 
(Oestlund.) 
101. The katydid. 
Phaneroptera curvicauda De Geer. 
Phaneroptera curvicauda De Geer (Me"m. Hist. Ins., 1773, v. 3, p. 446, pi. 38, fig. 3). 
This species has been figured, together with the structure of its ovipositor, by Riley 
(6th Rept. State Entom. Mo., 1874, p. 164-166), who also gives descriptions of the 
younger stages and eggs. Miss Murtfeldt (I. c.) describes the mode of oviposition ; the 
eggs are laid in the margin of leaves — often of oak — between the upper and lower 
epidermis. Although Riley writes (I. c), "I have had as many as five of these eggs 
deposited in a single leaf, in one contiguous row, yet they are more often single," yet 
a single tender leaf of Betula alba, taken at Belmont, Mass., measuring about 8 cen- 
timeters in length, had the entire margin filled with eggs, presumably of this spe- 
cies. Only two or three leaves were found thus attacked, and the one of which the 
size is given above contained 102 eggs. (Mrs. Dimmock.) 
102. The red-legged locust. 
Caloptenus femur-rubrum De Geer. 
Caloptenu8 femur-rubrum De Geer (Me*m. Hist. Ins. 1773, v. 3, p. 498, pi. 42, fig. 5) 
often strips the leaves from low bushes of Betula alba about Cambridge, Mass. (Mrs. 
Dimmock.)
