It has been referred to by Dr. Chittenden as the ''northern leaf-footed ; On September 21, 1905, in Menard County, Tex., the writer found, on two bolls which were situated close together on a cotton plant, between 25 and 30 specimens of this species in the third nymphal instar. Twenty specimens were collected and brought to the lab- oratory at Dallas. These molted be- tween September 21 and 23. On Sep- tember 29, 2 molted again although 3 specimens were still in the fourth stage on October 3. One of those which molted on September 29 became adult on October 21; all others died before reaching maturity. Prof. H.
