ANNUAL KEPORT OF NEW-YORK 
PINE. LEAVES. 
This, with the four preceding and the following species, were 
first described in my Catalogue of Homoptera in the State 
Cabinet of Natural History. At that time I had only met with 
this insect early in the spring, drowning in vessels of sap under 
the sugar-maple. I have since beat it from pine leaves, in 
every month of the year except August and those of winter. 
The name which I selected for it is therefore an unfortunate 
one, but cannot now be recalled. 
This species clearly pertains to the genus Diraphia of M. 
Waga (Annals Soc. Entom. France, vol. xi, p. 215,) and is 
closely like the species he describes, but differs in its color and 
in not having the fore wings in the least more dusky at their 
tips. 
2C4- Black-legged Dirapuia, Diraphia fcmoralis, Fitch. 
This differs from the preceding in having all the thighs of 
the same deep black color with the breast. It perhaps is only 
a variety of that species. The only specimen I have yet met 
with was beat from pine leaves the last of July. 
265. Calamus Diraphia, Diraphia Calamorum, new species. 
In connection with the preceding I may notice two other species pertaining 
to the same genus, and showing our own country to abound in these insects, 
much more than Europe. I met with both these species the middle of May in 
the extensive tracts of sweet flag ( /Icor us Calamus') occupying the banks of 
the Raritan river two miles below New Brunswick, in New Jersey. 
The Calamus Diraphia is 0.10 long to the tip of the abdomen in the dried 
specimen, and 0 15 to the tip of the wings. It is paler than the preceding, 
being of a dull gray or clay color, with the anterior lobes of its head of a red 
tint, and has no impressed line along the middle of the head. It is black 
beneath, with the abdomen and legs dull whitish, and in other respects it 
does not differ perceptibly from the Vernal Diraphia. 
266- Spotted-winged Diraphia, Diraphia maculipennis, new species. 
This is a smaller species, measuring but 0.10 to the tips of its wings, and is 
tawny red, with the thorax tinged more or less with dusky, the antennae with 
a broad black, band towards their tips, the anterior wings more short and 
broad than in any of tho other species, and hyaline with a broad smoky brown 
band on their tips, a spot back of the shoulder, and some freckles near the 
margin also smoky brown, the veins, including the marginal, all white alter¬ 
nated with numerous black rings, the breast and hind breast blackish, and the 
legs dusky brown tinged more or less with tawny yellow.
