Article XIV. — Bibliographical and Si/Hoin/ni/cal Cafalof/He of the Described Meudn-acida' of North America. By F. W. GoDiNG, M. D., Ph. D. INTRODUCTION. The following catalogue is designed as an index to the literature of the Membraeidae of North America, including Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. A few species have been seen that could not be referred to any known forms, and these are described in the following pages. In a few cases where the reference occurred in a volume the title of which was very long, 1 have used the title of the essay only. The following instances are the most im- portant: Stal's Hetuiptera Fabricia)ia,ll., (in Kongl. Svenska Vetenskaps-Akademiens Handlingar, Band 8, No. 1), Stul's Bidrac) till Membracidernas Kdmiedom (in Ofversigt af Kongl. Vetenskaps Academiens Forhandlingar, 1869, No. 3), Fairmaire's Becne de la Tribu des Membracides (in Annales de la Societe Entomolgique de France, 2" Serie, Tome IV.), and • Still's Heniiptera Mexicana (in Stettiner Entomologische Zeit- ung, 1864). A few other citations of this kind occur, but it is believed that little difficulty will be had in following any ref- erence found in this catalogue. I take this occasion to thank those from whom I have re- ceived aid in the compilation of this list. Especially do I wish to acknowledge obligations to Prof. C. V. Riley for valuable suggestions, for a list of the Membracida? in the National col- lection, and for examples of all the duplicates of this family in the U. S. National Museum; and to Prof. S. A. Forbes for the use of the library and collection of the Illinois State Laboratory of" Natural History (without the use of which this list could not have been completed), and for a list of the Membracidiein the State collection. My thanks are also due to the entire corps of assistants at the Laboratory for their uniform kind- 392 Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History. ness and numl)erless favors; to Mr. W. H. Ashinead for mate- rial; to Prof. Herbert Osborn for identification of specimens; to Mr. E. P. Van Duzee, of Buffalo, N. Y., for many sugges- tions and a review of the manuscript, which he improved by the addition of important references and the making of some needed changes; to Mr. C. W. Stromberg and Mr. 0. S. West- cott for many valuable examples of Illinois species; and to Miss Emma Bird for the greater part of the clerical work of preparing the catalogue for publication. The Membracida3 are distinguished as follows by Comstock in his tables of the families of Homoptera;* "Beak evidently arising from the mentum; tarsi three-join ted; antpnna3 minute, setiform. Ocelli only two in number or wanting; males with- out musical organs. Antennae inserted in front of and be- tween the eyes. Prothorax prolonged into a horn or point above the abdomen." For the convenience of those who may not have access to the work T will give Sttll's synoptic table of the subfamilies of Membracidse as published by him in Heniiptera A/ricana, IV., pp. 82 and 83: Scutellum wanting or obsolete, not extended beyond rretanotum. Posterior tarsi small, [much] shorter than anterior nOPLOrHORINyE. Tarsi of [nearly] equal length, or posterior longer than anterior. Tibije and sides of face dilated, foliaceous Membracin.«. Tibia' simple. Tegmina entirely membranaceous ; veins distinct. Third apical cell elongate, never petiolate. . Daknin.e . Third apical cell subtriangular, petiolate, adjacent ci-lls contiguous Smiliin.e. Tegmina coriaceous and opaque externally, with scarcely distinguishable veins in this portion. . .Tkagopin.e. Scutellum distinct, produced beyond metanotum Centrotin.e. A synopsis of the genera found in North America ap- peared in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, Vol. XIX., pp. 253-260. ^Introduction to Eniomology, p. 134. CATALOGUE. SUBFAMILY TRAGOPIN^, Stal. I. Traqopa, Late. 1. T. DOHRNi, Fairm. 1846. Traijopa dorhui. Fairm. Rev.

Abdomen yellow, tip brown; tibiae annulate with ferruginous. Length y mm., width 5 mm., altitude 5 mm. Described from several examples. if«/^.—Galesburg, III. Collected by C. W. Stromberg, in whose honor this peculiar species is named. The general appearance of this species is almost identical with Ennija aurifiua as represented in Walker's List llom. B. M. plate 4, fig. 1 and 2, but as it is impossible to place the species in that genus on account of its venation, I have placed it in Heliria for the present. Its venation is very similar to Telamona, and 1 doubt the advisability of separating Heliria from that genus. 85. H. CRiSTATA, Fairni. 1846. Thelia cristafa. Fairm. Rev. Memb. 311, 19. 1851.

One exam- ple received from Prof. Osborn, labeled Salainandra, from D. C, proved to be this species.

Cari/HOta marmorata, Van Duzee, Can. Ent. xxi, 6. 1892. Cari/iiota maniiorata. Harrington, Ottawa Nat. vi, 30. ?. Brick-red, marbled or spotted with yellow. Head ru- fous, unequal, marked with yellow; spindle-shaped; ocelli much nearer each other than to the eyes; eyes prominent. Prothorax arcuated, flattened in front of middle, then tapering to apex, which equals or surpasses apical cell of teg- mina; brick-red, densely speckled with yellow along median carina for a distance on each side to summit, elsewhere with scattering yellow points; above each eye an irregular blackish scar. Tegmina nearly covered, basal half reddish, punctured, tip fuliginous, below reddish yellow, legs reddish. Length 8.5 mm., breadth 4 mm., altitude 4 mm. Described from one female collected by E. P. Van Duzee and referred to by him in his List of Muskoka Hemiptera. JYa6.—Muskoka Lake District {Van Duzee). Food plant, Populusgrandidentata? This species difllers from iiiarmor<(fa in the length of the posterior process, and in the markings as given by Say. In a letter to the author, Mr. E. P. Van Duzee says: "Are you aware that the species of Carynota have become mixed? Provaucher's pida equals Say's vatriHorata, while his mar- morata equals the species I determined as marmorata in my list of Muskoka Hemiptera, where, you see, I felt a little doubt. I sent Provancher a specimen from Muskoka which he used in Described Memhniridii' of North America. 445 his determination. Had he sent me a specimen of his picttt before describing it I could have corrected the error." I see no reason why Optilete should be separated from Carynota, and, in my opinion, they should be united, Carynota Fitch having priority. Fairmaire's TJk'H(( porpJiyrr<(^ which was used by Dr. Still as the type of his genus Optilete appears to me to be Say's itiariHorafa, which I find to be somewhat variable as to markings.
