. Bulletin. Agriculture. 102 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 1915- Draeculacephala angulifera Walk. Tettigonia angulifera Walker, Homop, III, p. 771, (1851) Diedrocephala angulifera Van Duzee Ent. News, V, 156. DraeculacepJiala angulifera Ball. Proc. la. Acad. Sci. VIII, p. 35, (1901). This is a large green leafhopper resembling very closely the novebora- censis from which it differs in having a slightly sharper pointed head with finer lines and smaller dots nearer together at the apex. It is about half an inch in length. Adults have been taken in large numbers during late July and early August at Orono and the drain they cause in the grasses where they occur must be of no little importance. Aside from the coarse grasses of lowlands it has occurred in large numbers in timothy meadows and while it may have been feeding mainly on some of the coarser grasses mixed with the timothy it appeared to occur on the timothy as well and it may therefore be counted of greater importance. The larvae must get their growth largely before the first of August as adults are the abundant stage at this time. Additional locality records are, Portland Aug. 13, Princeton Aug. 16, (A. P. Morse), Kineo Aug. 17, Mt. Katahdin 600 ft. and 4700 ft. on tableland, Houlton Aug. 24, Van Buren Aug. 27th, Ft. Kent Aug. 28th,. Fig. 16.
