260 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Vertex but little rounded above, the apex slightly rounder than in 

 Kirkaldayi. Second joint of antenna; very large, consisting of a long, flat 

 plate thickest on the margins and studded with fine knobs ; elytra very 

 large, venation as in Burnetii nearly, the outer branch of the median 

 nervurc straight, the cross nervures at the apices of the elytra in a straight 

 line ; costal appendage as long as the second joint of antenna?, strap- 

 shaped towards apex, the posterior margin nearly straight, anterior margin 

 sloping off to the base of the costa ; the whole appendix curved back 

 across the corium, with the apex on the claval suture. 



Colour : pale straw; eyes black; elytra milky at base, a fuscous band 

 at one-third the distance from base, beyond this subhyaline, with the 

 nervures faintly brown as far as the apical nervures. Posterior margin of 

 appendage, and sometimes a spot near the outer corner of scutellum, 

 fuscous. 



Described from two females collected at Albion, N. V., by E. P. 

 Van Duzee. 



Patara Vanduzei, n. sp.— Form and general appearance of guttata, 

 but with a smaller front and different venation ; brownish purple, with a 

 light line on vertex and pronotum, and light dots around the apex of 

 elytra. Length, 4.75 mm. 



Vertex and front together semicircular, about equally margining the 

 eye all around as seen from side, front rising abruptly from clypeus, 

 compressed, the margin slightly thickened ; vertex expanded posteriorly; 

 pronotum slightly carinate, broad and nearly parallel margined ; venation 

 closely resembling guttata, but with four cells between the postcostal and 

 the median before the apical cell. There is a reflexed veinlet from the 

 median into the anal area, and two reflexed veinlets from the outer branch 

 of the mediastinal to the costal. This branch is interrupted just before 

 the apex, making it appear as if the reflexed vein was the end of the 

 nervine. 



Colour : vertex white, front and antennas brownish testaceous ; pro- 

 notum brownish fuscous, with a broad, median, light stripe ; scutellum 

 bright testaceous, sometimes with a pale stripe ; elytra brownish purple, 

 the tuberculate nervure of clavus white, a light spot on the apex of each 

 apical nervure and a broad one on the inner reflexed one. Nervures 

 bright testaceous, the three cross nervures before the apical cells fuscous. 



Described from three females in the collection of E. P. Van Duzee, 

 from Gowanda, N. Y. The adding of this name to the list is peculiarly
