MILLERCOUNTY; scattered ina sandy churchyard northwest of Doddridge about 4.0 Km north of Hwy.160 and Hwy. 237 junction. Davis and Krai 2689, 25 June 1980. Shinners (Field and Laboratory 19:14-25, 1951) cites a Nuttall voucher of thistaxon from "sandhills of the Red River, Arkansas Territory." Since it is impossible that this voucher was collected in either Oklahoma or Arkan-sas, it should be treated as a new record inArkansas.Tradescantia reverchonii Bush. MILLERCOUNTY; sparse on very sandy soils northwest of Doddridge about 1.1 Km south of the junction ofHwy.237 and Hwy.134, T18S R28W, Sec. 17, E WNW V*.Davis andTucker 2580, 17 June 1980.Aletris aurea Walt. MILLERCOUNTY; local ina moist, mowed pine-barren about 2.4 Km north of Fouke on west side ofHwy.71, T17S R27W,Sec. 9, SW >A NW %. Davisand Tucker 2547.Xyrisbaldwiniana R. &S. CALHOUN COUNTY; small remnant ofsavannah inrailroad and gravel road rights-of-way, 2.1Km north of Hwy.172along road parallelingrailroad east of Hwy.67. Davis and Roberts 2606.Rhynchospora rariflora (Michx.)Ell.CALHOUN COUNTY; same location as above cited Xvris. Roberts and Davis 1500The Rhynchospora rariflora voucher is deposited inVanderbilt University and the remaining vouchers are filedinArkansas Tech University.Four species which had previously been reported to Arkansas were confirmed with vouchers. Demaree (Taxodium 1:1-88, 1943) reportedRhynchospora cephalantha Gray, but the location of the voucher was unkknown until located inFebruary, 1980 at Vanderbilt University. Thisvoucher is annotated by Robert Krai. Carex latebracteata Waterfall has been vouched from Polk, Garland and Howard counties, and specimensare deposited in Vanderbilt University Herbarium (Davis and Tucker 2124; Davis, Pell and Smith 2146; Davis and Shepherd 2159). Anthaenantiarufa (Ell.)Schult. was confirmed from both Bradley and Drew counties (Davis and Pell 1896; Davis and Shepherd 2820b). This species wasreported without voucher by Moore (Proc. Ark.Acad. Sci. 15:9-25, 1961). Afterhaving been considered extirpated, fivestems of Cypripediumreginae Walter were discovered in Stone County (Davis and Foster 2414). The previous two species are deposited inArkansas Tech UniversityHerbarium.The author is grateful to Dr.Robert Krai and Jerry Roberts, who deferred reporting two of these state records.

Little Rock. Ark.72201OBSERVATIONS ON THE OCCURRENCE OF CHALKY DEPOSITS ON FOREWINGS OFONCOMETOPIA ORBONA (F.) (HOMOPTERA: CICADELLIDAE)Many homopterans produce a chalky or waxy, white material. Metcalfe (1969) mentioned that the most distinctive feature of the nymphs ofthe delphacid Saccharosydne saccharivora (Westw.) was the white waxrods formed on the head, tail,and lateral abdomen. He added that amongadults the white wax was present onlyon females.84Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, Vol. 35 [1981], Art. 23Published by Arkansas Academy of Science, 1981
