 with a few vestiges of the same color across the suture and between the 

 others, the punctures fuscous and becoming finer posteriorly. Hemelytra

 ments brighter yellow.

One specimen was taken in the American Fork Canon, June 

 21. It is a female of somewhat larger size than others which I 

 have seen, and which were collected in Kansas and California. 

 This insect should not be confused with the dwarfed form of Cos- 

 mopepla conspicillaris Dallas, which it closely resembles The 

 latter has the joints of the antennas chiefly black, the ridge across 

 the pronotum is orange or reddish and polished, and the mem 

 brane is smoky brown.

A male of the common variety was secured near Great Salt 

 Lake, June 16. 



This insect was separated from C. sidce Fab. upon differences 

 of color and pattern of marking, which are merely varietal. It 

 is a most variable insect in size, color, and style of marking, the 

 colors extending all the way from a pale green with gray and 

 white spots and bands, to a bright orange with fuscous, black, 

 brown, and white decoration.
