SY E. D. BALL, STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, FORT COLLINS, COLO. 



Anotia Kirka/dayi,r\.sv>. — Form and general appearance of Amalopota 

 Fitchi, but broader and less definitely marked. Form of A. Burnetii, 

 but with a sharp head and blunter elytra. Length, including elytra, 

 6.5 mm. 



Vertex slightly broader than in Burnetii, inclined upward, nearly 

 fiat, not rounding over at apex as in that species ; elytra broader towards 

 apices than in Burnetii ; venation very similar, but with the median 

 nervure not forked beyond the cross-vein, and the first branch of the post- 

 costal nervure coming off close to the cross-vein and at nearly right angles 

 to the nervure. Costal appendix larger than in Burnetii, obliquely 

 truncate posteriorly. 



Colour : pale creamy, slightly tinged with testaceous, a pale testaceous 

 stripe runs from the eye forward to the apex of vertex, and another from 

 below the eye downward to the front ; elytra milky subhyaline, a faint 

 smoky or testaceous spot near base, a smoky transverse band half way to 

 apex of clypeus, another partial band extending to the sutural margin, 

 down the median to the cross nervure, and then out that to the post- 

 costal; beyond this nearly all the nervures are broadly smoky margined, 

 leaving a light patch in each anteapical cell and a light spot on apex of 

 each apical nervure ; the costal margin beyond the middle, the costal 

 nervures, the apical margin, the apical nervures, except their apices and a 

 section of the postcostal beyond the cross nervure, testaceous. 



Described from a single specimen collected by the author, at Ames, 

 Iowa. 



The custom of commemorating the distinguished workers in Hemip- 

 tera in the naming of the Derbidse seems to me to be a good one, and I 

 am pleased to add to this list the name of our colleague, whose careful 

 nomenclatural work will place our Hemipteralogical classification at once 

 upon a sound basis of fact such as it would not have otherwise enjoyed for 

 years to come. 



Anotia Sayi, n. sp. — Resembling Burnetii in form, but much larger, 

 as large as Otiocerus. Costal appendage very long; colour yellowish; 

 elytra white, with a transverse fuscous band before the middle. Length, 

 11 mm. to the tip of elytra.
