There are four distinct dark dots above, two onthe head and two on the pronotum. Length 4 mm. The species is very generally distributed over the country and wewould expect to find it over most of the state especially as it wasdescribed by Provancher from Quebec, but it has occurred in the col-lecting of the season of 1913 only in two localities being taken by P. Morse at Grand Lakes Stream and by Mr. C. P. Alexander atHoulton. In 1914 it was taken a number of times at Orono in July andAugust. It feeds on a variety of plants but if the past two seasons are anycriterion it will not be of any economic consequence in Fig. 13. Agallia 4-punctata: a, adult; b, n3aTiph, side view; c, nymph;d, face; c, elytron ; /, female; g, male gentalia. (After Osborn and Ball.) Agallia novella Say. Jassus novellus Say. Acad. Nat. Sci.

A slender light colored species with two small black spots on thevertex, a dark line along the suture. Length, mm. Not common in collections this season. Collected by Mr. Stover atDexter. I secured a number by sweeping along the roadside near theBangoj- Bog Aug. 5th, and at North Harpswell Aug. 12th and Mr. Alex-ander collected a few from firs June loth. An adult female was col-lected from Cornus July 24, 1914, at Orono. It is evidently of little orno economic importance in Maine. LEAFHOPPERS OF MAINE. 97
