FAMILY ARAEOPIDAE

The leafhoppers of this family which we collected are apparently all widely distributed immigrants. The majority of them are found on grasses. A few which may be rated as pests are confined to particular plants such as sugar cane, corn, rice, and taro, each of which has a single species attached to it. The species on cane, however, was rare, and never found in sufficient numbers to be injurious.
