and with a pale red spot upon the middle of its back, occupying 
the apex of the scutel, its antennse green, the second joint dusky 
at its tip and the three last joints black. Length 0.55, width 
0.34. Rare. Though so much like the preceding species this 
pertains to a different genus, being destitute of the sharp point at 
the base of its abdomen between the hind pair of legs which may 
be seen in that insect. 
101 . Modest tree duo, jlrma modesta, Dallas. (Hemiptera. Pentato- 
n) idee.) 
Tawny yellowish gray thickly dotted with brown punctures, 
the wing covers commonly red at the apex of their leathery por¬ 
tion, and with a brown spot at the tip of their glassy hyaline 
ends, the under side whitish with a row of distant black dots 
along the middle of the abdomen and another on each side. 
Length 0.40 to 0.46. This is one of our most common tree bugs 
and will be met with in autumn upon a number of different trees 
and shrubs. It has the spine-like point on the base of the under 
aide of the abdomen very short, and the angular projection on 
each side of the thorax is not drawn out into a sharp point, by 
which characters it is readily distinguished from another species 
very similar to it, the spined tree bug, No. 26.

A tree hopper shaped like a beech nut, with a perpendicular 
protuberance on the fore part of its back, more high than wide, 
its summit compressed and rounded, the insect of a chestnut 
brown color, tawny white in front and with a white stripe along 
the back, extending from the protuberance to the tip. Length 
0.37, height 0.24. Often seen on grape vines in July and August. 
The Buffalo tree hopper, No. 22, may also be noticed on 
grape vines every day during the latter part of summer. 
103 . Black backed tree hopper, Acutalis dorsalis, Fitch. (Ilomoptcra. 
Membracidse.) 
A small triangular shining tree hopper with a smooth rounded 
back, greenish white with a large black spot on its back, from the 
anterior corners of which spot a line runs off towards each eye,
