behind middle ; faint percurrent median ridge ; humeral angles blunt 

 and rounded ; posterior process thick and tectiform, almost reaching 

 apex of tegmina. 



Tegmina smoky hyaline, brown and punctate at base, a brown patch 

 in middle and at tip ; veins prominent and slightly raised. There is a 

 variation in the cross-veins, one specimen having two cross-veins be- 

 tween media and cubitus while the type specimen shows but one. 



Under surface of body yellow; sides of meso- and metathorax black; 

 sheath of ovipositor ferruginous. Legs shining black-brown with fine 

 yellow pubescence; apex of posterior tibiae slightly ferruginous. 



Type Female. Length, 8.5 mm.; width, 4.5 mm. 



Type locality: Jacksonville, Florida. 



Described from specimens collected by Mr. L. H. Weld at 

 Jacksonville, Fla., April 14, 1914, and at Gainesville, Fla., 

 April 23, 1914. 



I am indebted to Mr. Harold Morrison for these specimens 

 which he very kindly gave me from his own collection. 



3. Stictocephala minuta sp. nov. (Plate III, Figs. 5 and 6.) 



This is probably the smallest North American species of 

 this genus. It may be recognized by the small size, by the 

 characteristic milky spots and lines on the pronotum, and by 

 the fact that the humeral angles do not project outward as 

 far as the eyes. 



Uniform yellow with milk-white spots and lines. Thickly 

 and densely punctate, sparingly pilose. Pronotum arcuate. Posterior 

 process slender and somewhat fuscous. Eyes prominent. Tegmina and 

 wings entirely hyaline. 



Head orange-yellow, translucent, smooth, slightly marked with 

 greenish-white; clypeus extending for half its length beyond line of 

 lorae, pilose; ocelli white with border of brilliant red, somewhat nearer 

 to each other than to the eyes ; eyes large, prominent, extending beyond 

 humeral angles, brown with red borders. 



Pronotum compressed ; narrow and convex in front ; densely punc- 

 tate ; mottled in front with irregular white spots sometimes slightly 

 tinged with green ; humeral angles rounded, only slightly produced ; 

 median percurrent carina almost obsolete in front ; dorsum compress- 

 ed, sides of pronotum marked with two white lines ; posterior process 

 suddenly acuminate, narrow, sharp, extending beyond internal angle 

 of tegmina. 



Tegmina hyaline, very slightly punctate at base, extreme apical border 

 faintly fuscous.
