THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 13 



species. Pale, irregularly maculate with brown ; elytra with numerous 

 milk-white spots. Length, ?, 6 mm. ; width, 1.5 mm. 



Vertex with the margins almost parallel, two and one-half times 

 wider than long, scarcely half the length of the pronotum ; the disc slop- 

 ing, but slightly depressed, transversely angled with the front, the margin 

 thick and slightly produced. Front longer and narrower than in jucunda, 

 the margins nearly straight. Elytra long and narrow, folded at the apex ; 

 venation similar to that of jucuvda, the nervures stronger, central ante- 

 apical cell very long, narrow and nearly parallel margined through the 

 median half, where there are three or four rather strong cross reticulations, 

 both ends enlarged, the anterior the larger and somewhat irregular in 

 shape, the posterior sexangular ; the claval nervures tied before the 

 middle and the outer one with a cross nervure to the suture. 



Colour : vertex pale creamy yellow, a pair of crescentiform spots at 

 the apex, and a pair of dots inside the ocelli black, a narrow transverse 

 band back of these and parallel with the margin, dark at the ends, shading 

 to brown at the middle and spreading out as a wash on the disc. Back 

 of this band are three brownish ovals, the outer ones connected with the 

 margins of the eyes by dark brown dots. Pronotum pale cinereous, with 

 numerous fine irrorations posteriorly, and a few large dark ones on the 

 anterior half. Scutellum orange, washed with brown, four ivory white 

 points and two brown dots on disc. Elytra brown, the nervures still 

 darker, a large number of milky white hyaline spots arranged in trans- 

 verse bands, one including the first cross nervures, and a broader irregular 

 one across the anteapical cells ; the sutural margins darker, with three 

 pairs of equidistant round spots interspaced by the white tips of the claval 

 nervures ; the reflexed nervures along the costa broadened and darker 

 brown. 



Genitalia : female segment but little longer than the preceding, 

 posterior margin truncate next to lateral angles, the middle half obtusely 

 angularly produced, the apex of which is again produced into a short 

 strap-shaped tooth, not as wide as the ovipositor, its width and length 

 about equal.
