THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 15 



in jucundus. Elytra moderately long, the venation obscure, and some- 

 what reticulate in the brown areas, resembling that of blandus ; costal 

 margin with a large number of nervures as in that species, but in this case 

 they are less regular and slightly oblique. 



Colour : vertex pale creamy, sometimes entirely washed with orange 

 fulvous. In clearly marked specimens with a dash each side the apex, a 

 faint line next the margin, and an irregular crescent on the anterior disc. 

 Pronotum milky, with a submarginal row of obscurely infuscate spots 

 anteriorly, and often a few irregular irrorations on the disc ; elytra milky 

 subhyaline, with a rather narrow basal band of pale brown, a triangular 

 saddle occupying the posterior half of clavus, and extending out a little on 

 to the corium, of a testaceous brown, often iridescent ; the apex of the 

 elytra, including all of the three inner apical cells, of a deep smoky or 

 fuscous. The anterior white band is strictly transverse and parallel mar- 

 gined, and is very definite ; only one or two of the principal veins show 

 the brown markings across it. Back of this, however, there is more or 

 less of brown reticulation, often enough to connect the dorsal saddle with 

 the fuscous tip ; costal veinlets fuscous ; face lemon yellow, anterior and 

 middle femora, except the apices, deep brown. 



Genitalia : female segment nearly three times the length of the pre- 

 ceding, the lateral angles broadly rounding to the posterior margin, margin 

 roundingly excavate one-third the distance to the base ; from this excava- 

 tion a long strap-like tooth extends nearly half its length beyond the two 

 rounding lobes of the segment. Male valve obtusely triangular, nearly as 

 long as the parallel margined, ultimate segment ; plates long triangular, 

 two and one-half times the length of the valve, their apices slightly 

 produced, and their margins clothed with long hairs. 



Described from four females and a male from Los Angeles, Calif. 

 Coquillett collector. Type— Cat. No. (?), U. S. N. M. 



This is a strikingly distinct form in this genus, and in several respects 

 suggests the morfesta group of Eutettix. 



Thaninotettix collar is, n. sp. — General appearance of clit ell aria, the 

 saddle longer and narrower, slightly larger and longer than that species, 

 with a much longer and distinctly angled vertex. Length, $ , 6 mm. ; 

 width, 1.75 mm. 



Vertex bluntly conical, nearly twice as long on middle as against eye, 

 half as long as its basal width ; together with the eyes distinctly narrower
