20 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Pagaronia 13-pundata, n. sp. — Green, with thirteen small black 

 spots on head and pronotum, and pale red lines on the elytra. Length, 

 8-9 mm. ; width, 2.25 mm. 



Vertex acutely conical, one-fifth wider than long, five-sixths the 

 length of the pronotum, disc flat, sloping slightly toward ocelli, slightly 

 carinate behind, the carina angled near the eye on either side and 

 extending back behind it ; pronotum broadest across lateral angles, 

 lateral margins as long as the eye, posterior margin rounding from lateral 

 angles to the scutellum, then emarginate. Elytra longer than the body 

 and rather broad ; venation simple, the apical cells twice longer than 

 broad ; front much inflated transversely, but slightly narrowing to 

 clypeus. 



Colour: pale green, vertex with seven black spots as follows : a pair 

 on the basal suture, a pair just outside and behind the ocelli, a spot on 

 either side the apex and one just before the middle of the disc. Face 

 green, a black spot just under the conical apex of vertex and a pair of 

 smaller ones, often obscure, on the suture just below the ocelli. 

 Pronotum green with three black spots in a row across the disc, the outer 

 pair on a line behind the eyes, the median one behind the middle of the 

 pronotum. Elytra greenish subhyaline, sometimes with pale reddish lines 

 between the nervures. 



Genitalia : female segment as long as the penultimate, the 

 posterior margin very slightly produced, elevated in the middle, almost 

 carinate, often giving the appearance of a slight notch ; male valve 

 usually entirely concealed, plates long and finger-like, three times as long 

 as their combined basal width, over twice the length of the apical 

 segment, narrowing toward the apex and sparsely clothed with weak 

 spines. 



Described from nine specimens from Los Angeles Co., Calif, 

 (collected by Koebele and Coquillett); three from Pasadena, Calif. (H. C. 

 Fall), and three from Marin Co., Calif. (C. Fuchs). 



Pagaronia 13-pnnctata, var. triunata, n. var. — Size and structure 

 of the species : Colour dirty straw yellow, sometimes washed with 

 reddish ; vertex with all seven spots of the preceding species enlarged 

 and somewhat irregular, the posterior pair on the disc near the margin 

 instead of being in the suture, an elongate dash on the reflexed portion of 

 front on either side, about midway between the apical spots and the pair
