$. Length 6.5 mm., width 1.9 mm. Head marked nearly as in 

 arizona, but the pale areas more yellowish. Pronotum with the disk 

 more fuscous than reddish, the anterior margin pale yellowish and not 

 conspicuously white as in arlznna. Scutellum and hemelytra mostly 

 dark fuscous as in apache, but the embolium and more than half of 

 the white, claval suture margined with pale. Legs and venter nearly 

 as in arizona. 



9 . Very similar to the male in coloration and only slightly more 

 robust. 



This species was found breeding abundantly on Robinia 

 nconic.vicana near Williams, Arizona. The writer has never 

 seen any species of Lopidca so abundant as was this one on the 

 trees of R. neomexicana around the camping grounds set 

 aside in the forest preserve two miles west of Williams. 

 Nymphs as well as adults were taken clustered on the tender 

 flower shoots where they preferred to feed. Strangely enough 

 L. arisonac was not taken here though the botanists determined 

 the trees as identical with those from which arisonac was taken 

 at Bonita.

Lopidea lateralis new species (Plate X. Fig. 4). 



$ . Length 5.9 mm., width 2 mm. Black, the embolium and onter 

 half of the cuneus ivory white. Pronotum with the side margins of 

 the disk strongly margined, narrowly pale; basal angles of the disk 

 and posterior half of the sides orange red: extreme base of the corium 

 and the articulations brownish to orange. Second antennal segment 

 slightly thicker at the base, tapering gradually to the apex ; genital 

 claspers (fig. 4) distinctive of the species. 



9 . Length 6 mm., width 2 mm. Very similar to the male in col- 

 oration. A few females have the membrane much abbreviated, ab- 

 ruptly rounded and scarcely reaching over the tip of the venter 

 (length 4.7 mm., width 2 mm.). 



This species was swept from a wild raspberry (Rnbiis sp.) 

 and a few from flowering herbaceous plants growing on the 

 slopes of Mt. Lemon at an altitude of 7800 feet.
