Florissant. One specimen, No. 11829. 



■ LOORITES gen. nov. (Locris, nom. gen.). 



Body stout. Head large, protuberant, well rounded, not angulated in 

 front, though subtriangular. Thorax transverse, nu)re than twice as broad 

 as long, truncate both in front and behind. Scutelluni moderately large, 

 equiangular, the angles sharp. Tegniina^ large, full, about two i\nd a half 

 times longer than broad, with strongly curved costal margin, tapering con- 

 siderably in their apical half, the apex roundly angulated ; the radial vein 

 forking well before the middle of the wing and before that widely separated 

 from the margin, midway between which and it the costal vein runs ; ulnar 

 vein much as in the species here referred to Cercopis. Both middle and 

 hind femora are about two-thirds as long as their respective tibire. Abdo- 

 men stout, tapering conically in the apical half. 



To this genus evidently belongs Cercopis haidingeri Heer from Radoboj, 

 Croatia, which is slightly larger than the larger of the two species from 

 Florissant we place here. 



Table of the species of Locrites. 



Larger species; tegmina uniformly mottled in generally distributed blotches 1. L. copei. 



Smaller species; markings of tegmina confined to obscure transverse darker bands in the basal two- 

 thirds of the wing 2. L. whiiei. 



1. Locrites copei.

In one of the specimens referred here, the one figured, the dorsal sui*- 

 face is shown, but with many of the ventral parts showing through. The 

 tegmina, however, as in many of tlie insects from Florissant, appear as if 

 bleached out, and the real markings lost: for these we have to go to the 

 second specimen, preserved upon a side view, which shows a delicate mot- 

 tling of dark, circular or transverse, minute spots, more or less clustered 

 into larger but still small roundish blotches, pretty evenly distributed, but 

 absent from the extreme tip ; the sutura clavi is ver}- distinct and heavy,
