3 1 - THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Described from twenty-four examples from Palmer Lake and Fort 

 Collins, Colo., and JBeula, N. Mex. This form has also been examined in 

 the past from N. Y. 



Variety continuus, n. var. 



Somewhat stouter than lunaris, the outer anteapical rarely present as 

 in that form, and the antennae in male dark, but scarcely swollen apically. 



Colour : pale green or yellowish green, the dorsal stripe even broader 

 than in lunaris, covering the whole disc of the pronotum and extending 

 forward nearly to the margin on the median line, black or very dark 

 brown. This stripe is as wide as the scutellum, and is constricted at apex 

 of clavus, beyond which it is smoky. 



Described from twenty-four specimens from Ward, Antonito, Estes 

 Park and Rico, Colo. 



Variety vagus, n. var. 



Slightly larger than sutura/is, even broader than continmis, especially 

 in the female, outer anteapical cell rarely present. Male antennae with a 

 disc similar to suturalis, but rounder. Female ovipositor exceeding the 

 pygofers by three or four times its width. 



Colour : female pale green, the scutellum with a pair of large 

 dark spots within the basal angles, tergum with the disc dark; elytra 

 subhyaline, the apical nervures dark, and the dark tergum showing 

 through. Male with the dark nervures and scutellar spots as in the 

 female, the elytta and sometimes the posterior part of the pronotum 

 irregularly clouded with fuscous or smoky brown. 



Described from eleven examples from North Park and several males 

 from Alder, Home, Rist Canon and Palmer Lake, Colo. The females of 

 this form are quite distinct, but the males sometimes approach continuus 

 in colour, but they never have the stripe definitely margined as in that 

 form, and the antennal disc is quite different. 



Idiocerus rufus, var. cingulatus, n. var. 



Size and form of rufus nearly, the elytra slightly longer and narrower, 

 giving the insect, especially the females, much more of a wedge-shaped 

 appearance. 



Colour: female, face and vertex pale yellow, with rufous markings; 

 pronotum rufous, a median line, a few sub-marginal spots and a pair 

 of larger ones on the disc, white ; elytra rufous, subhyaline, with two 

 transverse light bands often obscure, but marked by the white nervures,
