Dictyophora nakanonis Matsumura ,

Sapporo Nat. Hist. Soc., Trans. 3: 109, 1910; Melichar, Mon. Dictyophoriden, 130, 1912.

Piti , April 30, Usinger, May 2, on Physalis , Swezey, May 3, 31, Swezey, May 23, on Emilia , Usinger, June 13, on sugar cane, Swezey, July 26, Swezey, Nov. 14, on Glochidion , Swezey; Inarajan , May 7, Swezey; Agana , June 6, Swezey; Dandan , July 17, Swezey; Orote Peninsula , Sept. 27, on Pipt1wus and Sida , Swezey. More specimens were collected on the Physalis weed than on any other plant. The nymphs occurred on this plant also. We found this insect widely distributed in Guam, quite general in habits and never numerous enough on any one plant to be injurious.

This rather large fulgorid with a long prolongation of the head was determined by P. W. Oman, by comparison with U. S. National Museum specimens from the Philippines determined by Dr. L. Melichar as nakanonis. It is closely similar to D. pallida (Donovan) which has a wide range in the Orient Jrom India to China, Formosa, Philippines, Java, Sumatra, and Borneo, and is described under several different names. Dr. Oman states that it is possible that on further study of this group, nakanonis and pallida may prove identical.
