The four-banded leaf-roller, Eulia quadrifasciana Fern., is very closely related and similar in habits to the red-banded leaf-roller, Eulia velutinana Walk. It was described by Fernald (1882) as Lophoderus quadrifasciana but was later placed in the genus Eulia by Kearfott (1905). Fernald (1908) put Lophoderus Steph., in synonymy with Eulia Hubn. For at least eight years following the original description it seems to have attracted little attention. Sanderson (1904) recorded it for the first time as a pest of apple in Delaware. The same year Fletcher (1900) reported it somewhat abundant in Canada. Subsequently it has been recorded from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and it is apparently common throughout north eastern United States. It has been found somewhat common in Pennsylvania by the writer (1922) who mentions it in connection with Eulia mariana Fern., as a pest of apple.

In the early summer of 1926 I spent nearly two months in the vicinity of Lillooet, B. C., a typical “dry-belt” locality, studying the insect fauna of this region. My headquarters were at Craig Lodge, at the east end of Seton Lake, a large body of water about three miles west of Lillooet draining into the Fraser River through Seton Lake Creek, which is joined about a mile to the east by the larger Cayoosh Creek, entering from the south through the deep and precipitous Cayoosh Canyon. The general nature of the country has already been ably indicated by Mr. R. Glendenning in a paper on the Fauna and Flora of Mt. McLean which appeared in the Proceedings of the British Columbia Entomological Society for 1921.

The series I-b of Aphodius was erected by Dr. Horn for those of our species which have the fore tibia punctate on the anterior face and the first segment of the anterior tarsus longer than the second. Horn including two species, rubeolus and stercorosus, in this group, overlooking the fact that two additional species known to him, lentus and tenuistriatus, possessed these characters. Subsequently, troglodytes and campestris were described by Hubbard and Blatchley respectively. The present paper includes the six species noted above and adds two which are described as new. Aphodius canadensis Garnett, described as a member of this group, is omitted, for in it the anterior tibia is impunctate, the first segment of the anterior tarsus is shorter than the second, and the pronotal side margins are explanate; the species is a member of series I-a.

The genus Jassus is a very large genus of leafhoppers known to occur over a very large portion of the earth. Many species have been described from India, Africa, Central and South America, the Phillipines and several other countries. A very few species, however, seem to occur in America north of Mexico. Since only one of these species is well known, two but slightly known, and two apparently new to science, the writer feels that a short paper introducing us to the small part of the genus known to occur in the United States would not be out of place. A paper on the other American species is being prepared and should be ready for publication before long.
