IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 
Color: Vertex, grayish-brown, anterior margin of tylus black-lined, 
rest of margin light, except against the dark eyes; ocelli red; median 
Carina light; pronotum grayish, the carina and a spot on either side before 
the middle pale; elytra with the cl aval areas pale, grayish, corium darker, 
an oblique hyaline band before the middle, extending from the costal 
margin to the inner sector, sharply margined behind, fading out in front, 
behind the middle is an elongate hyaline spot; between these spots is an 
irregular, dark-brown area, and in well marked specimens another 
appears in front of the band and a third behind the spot. 
Genitalia: Female pygofers about one-third longer than wide, slightly 
exceeded by the ovipositor; two last segments of the male abdomen 
elongate narrowed; plates small, twice longer than wide, separated at the 
base by their own width, their inner margins parallel, outer rounding. 
This is the most abundant of the eastern species and is 
readily recognized by its small size and white markings. A 
spries of several hundred examples show little variation in 
size or color. 
Habitat: Examples have been examined from Ontario, 
New York, New Hampshire, District of Columbia, Maryland, 
West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Iowa and Nebraska, and it 
has been reported from Ontario, Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio, 
Illinois, and North Dakota. 
APHROPHORA ANGULATA n. Sp. 
A. angulata Uhl. Mss. 
Pale, nearly uniform grayish-brown, two obscure hyaline 
spots along the costa; larger and more obscurely marked than 
Jf.-notata; length 10mm., width 4mm. 
Vertex flat, scarcely longer on middle than next to eye, anterior margin 
sharp as far as the tylus, which is slightly produced upon the front; 
median carina weak on the tylus, becoming strong on the posterior margin 
of the vertex; front weakly inflated, forming an acute angle with the 
vertex as in 4-notata; pronotum, anterior third depressed, flnely punctate, 
with a strong median carina, behind this, elevated and coarsely pitted, 
with the carina weak; elytra very broad in the center, roundingly angulate 
behind; the costal area attaining the center of the corium at the angle of 
the first sector. 
Color: Grayish-brown; vertex and anterior third of pronotum brown, 
with the fine punctures black, median carina light, rest of pronotum light, 
with dark pitting; scutellum light-gray; elytra, ground color light, 
coarsely pitted with brown, becoming darker on the middle of the costa, 
either side of which there is a large subhyaline area, nervures mostly 
dark margined and distinct. 
Genitalia: Female pygofers scarcely half longer than wide, moderately 
exceeded by the short ovipositor.
