AbstractLoewia foeda (Mg.), a European parasite of the centipede Lithobius, is recorded from two localities in New York State where it has evidently become established as an addition to the Nearctic fauna. The adult is redescribed and figured and its life history briefly reviewed.

While working on parasites of fish for the New York State Conservation Department during the summer of 1928 it was possible to secure experimental evidence on the life-cycle of Proteocephalus pinguis La Rue 1911. The adult parasite lives in the digestive tract of Esox lucius Linnaeus and E. reticulatus Le Sueur where it ranges in length between 50 and 90 mm. Since La Rue (1914) gives a complete description of the adult it is not necessary to go further into the morphology of this form. Adult tapeworms for the experiments were taken from E. lucius from Lake Erie and Ellicott Creek, near Buffalo, New York, and from E. reticulatus from Barrett and China Ponds near Carmel, New York.

A New Species

AbstractA single specimen of a new species of the chasmataspidid Diploaspis Størmer, 1972 is described from the upper Silurian (Pridoli) Phelps Member of the Fiddlers Green Formation (Bertie Group) in Herkimer County, New York State, USA. Diploaspis praecursor sp. nov. is distinguished by the shape of the posterolateral margins of the buckler, which are drawn out into angular epimera, and by the lack of elongate tubercles on the postabdomen. This discovery increases the taxonomic diversity of the Bertie Group by extending the geographic extent of Diploaspididae into North America. D. praecursor pre-dates previously known species of Diploaspis by more than 10 million years.

Notes on Life-History and Rearing of Colladonus clitellarius (Say) (Homoptera: Cicadellidae)

Although the leafhopper Colladonus clitellarius (Say) was found by Gilmer (1954) and Thornberry (1954) to be a vector of eastern X-disease virus of peach and cherry, little has previously been reported concerning the life-history or rearing of the insect. Gilmer (1954) stated that he did not know the host plant of the nymph and that collections of adults as early as June 3, 1953, and as late as October 22, 1951, suggested strongly that the insect may overwinter as an adult in New York State. Phillips (1951) found the species in sour-cherry orchards in the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario

Kilmer is a multicomponent Paleoindian site located in the Appalachian Uplands of New York State. It is situated on high and low late Pleistocene outwash terraces (T2 and T1). In mountainous areas, these landforms are susceptible to weathering and erosional processes. The paucity of sites in the Appalachian Uplands is likely the result of geologically active landscapes. The occurrence of Paleoindian sites in the mountainous terrain of eastern North America suggests economic diversification, a cultural response to unpredictable food resources near the end of the Pleistocene.

This chapter explores how the Swartzentruber Amish families who began to arrive in New York State in 1974 came because there was affordable land available. Although the availability of cheap farmland was a key factor in their decision to move to New York, many Swartzentruber families, like the Troyer families who moved to the Conewango Valley, were also motivated by the desire to raise their children in a homogeneous community, away from the influence of different, often more progressive Amish groups. The move allowed the Swartzentruber Amish newcomers to distance themselves from the larger Ohio Old Order community and a history of conflict and schism. With large families, the Swartzentruber Amish are among the fastest-growing groups in North America, and the new settlement expanded quickly.

Significant Patterns

The nature of Early Paleoindian economies in late Pleistocene eastern North America has been extensively debated by archaeologists. To better understand paleoeconomies we need to examine intraregional and interregional diversity in the production, consumption, distribution, and exchange of materials that sustained or reproduced early Paleoindian livelihoods. Coarse-grained comparisons drawn on the composition of flaked-stone tool assemblages from early Paleoindian sites in the Northeast (western New York State) and the western Midwest (the confluence area of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers) show varying degrees of homogeneity and heterogeneity in the use of tool stone. Statistically significant patterns from stone procurement and tool manufacturing sites, base camps, and food procurement and processing sites are presented in support of a pancontinental model of flexible economies during a period of rapid and dramatic environmental change.
