150 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Colour : cephalic process brown with small light maculations, the 

 lower face between the carina and the front pale. Body and elytra pale 

 gray, a pair of black spots on scutellum and more or less of brownish 

 maculation on pronotum and elytral nervures. 



Described from two specimens from San Jose, Calif. (King). The 

 immense size of the process will at once separate this from pallidus, 

 which it resembles in venation and colour. 



Scolops Vanduzei, n. sp. 



Form of maculosus nearly, but larger, resembling abnormis, but with 

 much smaller process. Rusty straw-coloured. Length 7 mm., width 2.75 

 mm., process 2 mm. 



Cephalic process not quite as wide as vertex, as long as front, 

 strictly parallel-margined, lateral carina? of lower face parallel, not 

 enclosing over one-third of its width, head not constricted behind the 

 eyes. Elytra longer than the body and well rounded behind, resembling 

 hesperius, venation distinct, veins strong, middle sector usually forked 

 slightly behind the inner one. 



Colour : process mottled with fuscous and pale shading out to 

 greenish fuscous on face, vertex with a fuscous crescent interrupted by 

 the median carinas, four fuscous spots in a transverse row on the 

 pronotum and four more on the scutellum. Elytra pale smoky or 

 grayish, the nervures light with light spots sparsely sprinkled along them, 

 almost continuously margined with fuscous. 



Described from eight examples from Kimball, Neb. 



Scolops robustus, n. sp. 



Resembling maculosus, but broader, stouter and with a cephalic 

 process like august at us. Length: ^ 6 mm., ^ 5.5 mm.; width 3 mm., 

 process 1.25 mm. 



Cephalic process very small and short, shorter than front, not over 

 one-half the width of vertex, parallel-margined, vertex and eyes short and 

 broad, head slightly constricted behind eyes, pronotum very short and 

 broad, which gives the whole insect a broad, square-set appearance. 

 Elytra either broad and square-set or very long and flaring, the middle 

 sector usually forking slightly behind the inner one. 



Colour : process greenish or smoky, the carinae pale, vertex with a 

 pair of small fuscous points, pronotum distinctly lighter, appearing as a 

 light " collar," a pair of large round spots on disc, a pair of smaller points
