1. Anconia integra, Scudd. (Tab. II. figg. 12, 12 a, b, 2 .) 



Anconia integra, Scudd. Ann. Rep. Chief Eng. 1876, Append. JJ, p. 515 (1876) \ 



Hab. North America 1 , various localities in Arizona and South-eastern California 

 [coll. L. Bruner). 



This insect is very variable in colour, ranging from pale testaceous to pea-green, 

 with or without a paler decussate marking on the disc of the pronotum. It is the 

 most southern of the three forms here recognized, and most certainly reaches Mexican 

 territory. 



[2. Anconia grisea, sp. n. 



Most nearly related to A. integra, from which it differs in its broader and shorter tegmina, which are but 

 sparsely maculate with brown. The entire insect is dark cinereous, instead of testaceous or greenish, 

 and the sides of the pronotum and pleura are conspicuously mottled with fuscous. The hind tibiae are 

 cinereous and conspersed with dark brown or dull black, while the hind femora have the apex and two 

 well-defined bands across the upper edge of the same colour. 



Length of body, S , 20 ; of pronotum 4, of tegmina 20, of hind femora 11*5 millim. 



Hab. North America, Antelope Valley, California (coll. L. Bruner). 

 A single male.] 



[3. Anconia csBruleipennis, sp. n. 



A much more robust insect than A. integra, and at once recognizable on account of its caerulean wings and 

 cinereous body. The markings on the hind femora are even more pronounced than in A. grisea. As 

 compared with A. integra, the present species has the valves of the ovipositor more robust and blunter, 

 while the hind lobe of the pronotum is much broader and ample. The head is also larger, the frontal 

 costa is broader and less contracted below the ocellus, and the mesosternal lobes are separated by a space 

 a trifle wider than long. The hind femora are moderately robust. 



Hab. North America, Hawthorne, Nevada (H. F. Wickham, coll. L. Bruner). 



A single female. Possibly A. grisea is the male of this insect, but if so the 

 discrepancy in size between the sexes is much greater than it is in A. integra.~\ 



[RAMONA *, gen. nov. 



Body slender, depressed, viewed from the side greatly strangulate. Head short, but quite high, the eyes 

 prominent, subglobular, nearly as wide apart above as the diameter of one of them ; occiput short, the 

 vertex broad, the cheeks below them considerably longer than they are, very shallowly sulcate, 

 the bounding walls blunt and somewhat approaching a little in advance of the middle of the sulcation, 

 the centre provided with a low, but perfectly plain, longitudinal carina that continues over the occiput 

 to the front edge of the pronotum ; frontal costa nearly obliterated below the ocellus ; lateral facial 

 carinas strong, straight, beginning near the middle of the front edge of the eyes and reaching the sides 

 of the base of the clypeus. Pronotum smooth, much constricted in the middle, the median carina present 

 only as a very faint line on the posterior lobe ; anterior edge broadly rounded, posterior margin obtuse- 

 angulate, lateral . carina? wanting, the lower posterior margin broadly rounded. Tegmina and wings
