somewhat shorter, but are still longer than the hind femora, the pronotum 

 slightly longer, the greatest width of the disk being about four-fifths the 

 length. All these points, with the exception of the character of the wing- 

 band, might easily be due to individual variations, and in all other respects 

 the specimens agree closely, so that the species is probably very variable 

 in the markings of the wings. 



T. longicomis seems to approach T. sa/itia, Bruner, but I have not 

 seen the latter species.

I have specimens of this species from Agassiz, B. C., Sept. 9, 1897 ; 



Vernon, B. C, Sept. 10, 1897; Revelstoke, B. C, Sept. 19, 1897. I 



found it very common at Vernon in dry, open places, but at each of the 



other localities I took but a single specimen. 



It has also been reported by Dr. Fletcher from Victoria, B. C. (Rep. 

 Exp. Farms Can., 1888, 63). 



8. Trimerotropis huroniana, new species. (PI. I., figs. 8-13.) 



Of medium or rather small size ; pale ashy gray, varied with brown 

 and white ; in its general colour and maculation much resembling T. 

 mar it im a, race interior. 



Head of the ordinary size, pale ash-gray or nearly white, faintly 

 mottled with darker gray. Occiput considerably ( <$ ), very slightly ( $ ), 

 elevated above the level of the pronotum, nearly smooth; brownish fuscous, 

 with paler grayish mottlings, especially externally, where they form a 

 pale postocular band continuous along the margin of the disk of the pro- 

 notum, with a more or less distinct band of the same colour. Below this 

 pale band there is more or less indication of a grayish fuscous postocular 

 band, more distinctly defined above than below, where it merges into the 

 grayish mottlings of the genae. Scutellum longer than broad ( o* ), about 

 as long as broad ( ? ), strongly sulcate, limited in front by a V-shaped 

 depression j median carina usually distinct, especially anteriorly, some- 

 times nearly obsolete. Lateral carinre sharp, lighter in colour than the disk, 

 extending and slightly diverging from a point opposite the middle of the 

 eye to the front margin of the eye, where they form a marked angle, and 

 whence they converge, keeping a fairly straight course, to meet the frontal 

 costa. Lateral foveolae rather small, triangular, moderately deep. Frontal
