HEMIPTE E A— HOMOPTER A— FULGORINA. 285 



only one-fourth as long on the sides as in the middle, the surface smooth or 

 microscopically scabrous, with exceedingly scattered, pale, circular spots or 

 pustules about 0.03™" in diameter. Scutellum large, nearly as broad as the 

 mesonotum, and almost three-fourths as long as broad, the sides slightly 

 concave, the apex produced and pointed, the surface similar to that of the 

 pronotum but with fewer pustules. Base of the tegmina and particularly 

 of the clavus apparently very finely granulate, the neuration obscurely 

 preserved, the tegmina apparently just reaching the tip of the abdomen. 



Length of fragment, 7"™ ; of mesonotum, 0.6™"' ; breadth of same, 

 1.7™™; of abdomen, 2.8™™. 



Green River, Wyoming. One specimen, No. Ill, Dr. A. S. Packard. 



FULGORA OBTICESCENS. 

 PI. 19, Fig. 1. 



A small specimen appearing to belong in this subfamily, though cer- 

 tainly not in Fulgora, in which it is placed only in its ancient broad sense. 

 A dorsal view is presented, showing little besides the body and some of the 

 veins of the tegmina, which reached to the extremity of the abdomen. The 

 head was half as broad as the thorax. The thorax was large and rounded 

 subquadrate, the scutellum also large and rather bluntly angled posteriorly, 

 the abdomen lighter colored than the rest of tlie body and conico-fusifoi-m 

 with broad, pale incisures. The fore legs were slender and linear, and the 

 longitudinal veins of the diaphanous tegmina rather distant with scanty 

 cross-veins. 



Length of body, 4™™; greatest breadth, 1.25"™. 



Florissant. One specimen. No. 12069. 



Subfamily DICTYOPHARIDA Stal. 



A considerable group of mostly tropical forms, of which the only known 

 fossil species are those mentioned below. 



DICTYOPHARA Germar. 



Two species of Pseudopliana Burmeister, regarded by Stal as the same 

 as this genus, have been described from the European Tertiaries, one from 

 immature specimens in amber, the other a winged insect from Oeningen. 

 The species added below is placed in this genus as typical of Dictyopha-
