Length 6-7 mm. 140 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMEXT STATION. 1915- This is one of the most abundant and widely distributed species of thegenus throughout the eastern U. S., but it seems to be confined in Maineto the southern and eastern portion of the state. To the north it appearsto be replaced by aperhis. One specimen taken at Orono in pasture July 31st, Portland Aug. 14th,Highmoor Farm Aug. 15th, Mt. Katahdin Aug. 22, 1913, and an adultmale at Orono on Cornus July 24, 1914. While distinctly an economic species in some parts of the country itwould appear from the scarcity and limited occurrence in Maine that itmay be disregarded in this Fig. 33. The irrorate leafhopper (Phlepsius irroratus): a. Adult; bjvertex and pronotum; c, face; d, female genitalia; e, male genitalia; /,nymph from specimen taken at Toledo, Ohio. All enlarged. (FromU. S. Dept. Agric. Bureau of Entomology—Bui. No. 108.) Phlepsius apertus Van Duzee. Phlepsius apertus Van Duzee, Am. Entom. Soc. Trans. XIX, y6, (1892). This is about the size and much the appearance of irroratus, darkgray in color distinctly irrorate but with a more distinct pale band acrossthe elytra near the base. It is most positively known by the wide deepexcavation of the middle part of the last ventral segment of the 6 mm. The species seems to replace irroratus throughout the northern part ofthe state, especially where irroratus is rare or in some localities appar-ently wanting. It was taken in fair numbers at the base of Mt. KatahdinAug. 22nd and in abundance at Houhon Aug. 24th, Mars Hill Aug. 25th, L
