THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 19 



Vertex slightly less than a right angle, the apex blunt, almost twice 

 broader than long, over twice longer on middle than against the small 

 eyes ; disc slightly convex, separated from the convex front by a sharp, 

 slightly-curved carina ; ocelli a little over their own width back of the 

 carina, and about midway between apex and eye. Front broad, convex 

 in both diameters, clypeus long, its depressed semicircular apex extending 

 beyond the genre. Pronotum transverse, about equalling length of the 

 vertex, slightly emarginate on the median half posteriorly. Elytra 

 brachypterous, but little longer than the pronotum, truncate or slightly 

 rounding behind, coriaceous obscuring the venation. 



Colour: dark reddish brown, vertex irregularly maculate with numer- 

 ous small, round, yellow spots ; pronotum and scutellum with numerous 

 irregular yellow spots. Sometimes a pair of irregular yellow stripes ending 

 on the outer angles of the scutellum. Elytra very sparsely maculate, an 

 irregular blotch on the apical margins just within the costa; abdomen with 

 numerous small spots and a pair of irregular longitudinal stripes yellow ; 

 face almost piceous with numerous fine yellow dots. 



Genitalia : female segment large, nearly twice longer than penultimate, 

 the posterior margin truncate within the triangularly produced lateral 

 angles, a narrow median incision, back of which the segment is distinctly 

 carinate. 



Described from two females from Siskiyou Co., Calif.; collected by 

 Koebele. Received from the U. S. Nat. Museum. 



Pagaronia, n. gen. 



Allied to Errhomenelhis and Teitigonia, but with a narrower head 

 than in either. Resembling Ciccus in shape of head and pronotum. 

 Head distinctly narrower than pronotum, the eyes small, vertex conical, 

 nearly as long as the pronotum ; the front reflexed over the margin as 

 in Tettigonia ; ocelli small, on the vertex just back of the suture that 

 marks off the reflexed front, and one-third the distance from the eye to 

 the apex. Pronotum short, emarginate behind, angularly inserted 

 between the eyes, the lateral margin carinate, broadening posteriorly in a 

 curve continuous with that of the anterior margin. Elytra longer than 

 the abdomen, venation simple, usually but one anteapical cell — the outer. 

 Face long and narrow, clypeus extending beyond the margin of the genae; 

 anterior tibiae simple.
