Gypona octolineata Spangberg. Spec. Gyponae p. 8. This is a large green species with dense reticulations over the entire elytra including the clavus and in some specimens the veins and cross veins are brilliant scarlet. There are eight fulvous stripes running from vertex across the pronotum. Length 8 to 10 mm. One of the most generally distributed sipecies occurring on a great variety of plants including grasses low herbage and bushes and trees. Taken on birch July 22nd adult, birch and alder sweepings in wood- land July 31 at Orono, North Harpswell Aug. 12th, Portland Aug. 13th, larva and Aug. 14th, Riverton Park, Highmoor Farm Aug. 15th, Mt Katahdin Aug. 22nd, Houlton Aug. 24th, Fort Kent Aug. 28th. The species has undoubtedly some economic importance as its larvae feed on many plants of value but they are so widely scattered that any very effective means of control seems doubtful. Where abundant on grasses or shrubbery sprays may be used and in some situations the burning of dead leaves would doubtless help. Gypona flavilineata Fitch. Gypona flavilineata Fitch. Homop. N. Y. State Cab. p. 57, (1851). Similar to octolineata but without reticulations on the clavus, slightly larger and usually lighter colored.
