ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW-YORK 
GRAPE. LEAVES. 
Abbot. To these I have recently added a ninth, and two addi¬ 
tional species are now known to me, the characters of which may 
briefly be stated in this place. 
109. Otiocerus Signoretii. Pale yellow; wing covers with a broad dusky 
cloud-like stripe from the base to the middle of the inner margin, and extend¬ 
ing thence obliquely across to the outer margin at its tip, and sending a very 
broad branch to the tip of the inner margin; a large blackish dot anteriorly, 
on the inner side of the dusky stripe, situated in the middle of the subaxillary 
cell, and four dots on the outer side of the stripe, placed at the angles of an 
imaginary square, the outermost one of these dots being in the middle of the 
outer or costal cell; veins yellow, posteriorly red; wings whitish hyaline, 
their veins red; keels of the upper side of the head minutely toothed, those 
of the frontal and lower side edged by a slender coal black line. Length of 
the body 0.20; width of the spread wings 0.G0. The antenn® arc short, 
scarcely reaching to the eye, and have but one appendage of about the same 
length in males. This species is similar to Reaumurii, but the dots on the 
wing covers are differently placed. Two specimens from west of Arkansas, 
from W. S. Robertson. 
110. Otiocerus JJmyotii. Light yellow; wing covers pale sulphur yellow, 
with a brown stripe from the base to the middle of the inner margin and 
thence to the outer tip; a row of blackish dots on the hind edge alternating 
with the ends of the apical veins, and about six dots forward of the innermost 
of these, placed on the tips of the subapical and on the bases of the apical 
veins; three brown stripes on the thorax; an orange red stripe on each side of 
the head, from the eye to the forward edge below the apex. Length 0.25, to 
the tip of the closed wings 0.40; width of the spread wings 0.70. I havo 
hitherto supposed this to be the fVoffii of Kirby, but having recently captured 
an individual of that species, the differences between these two insects becomo 
evident to me. The fVolfii possesses each of the characters above assigned to 
the Amyotii, but the orange stripe on each side of the head is more faint and 
runs obliquely upward to the apex of the head, where it ends in a short coal 
black line, exactly as stated by Mr. Kirby; and the wing covers have three 
distant blackish dots in a row, outside of the brown stripe, one of these dots 
being placed near the baso of each of the discoidal cells. In both of these 
species the females have two long appendages to the antenn®. The insect des¬ 
cribed by Amyot and Serville, and by Spinola, under the name Stollii, certainly 
is not the Stollii of Kirby, which is a dark colored species like the Degcerii; 
but it is in all probability the same species which I have described above. I 
havo met with this insect in only two instances in this State, and once in New 
Jersey. All the specimens were females and were found upon hickory leaves. 
111. Anotia IVestwoodii. Another genus of insects peculiar to this country 
and closely resembling the preceding, except that they are destitute of appen¬ 
dages at the base of the antenn®, was brought to light by Mr. Kirby, in con¬ 
nection with the Otioceri. Only a single species of this genus, named Anotia
