larger ones on scutellum shining black. A triangular mark just inside 

 the middle of the claval area and an oblique one just before the apex 

 of clavus extending out to inner sector of corium, dark brown. These 

 two marks connected by a faintly outlined brown line which no doubt 

 in darker specimens would represent the margin of a dorsal stripe. 



Described from a single female from Mesilla, New Mexico 

 (Cockerell). 



Neocoelidia pulohella n. sp. 



Resembling barratti, but with a narrower and less ornamented stripe. 

 Elongated, pale green with a definite dorsal stripe. Length $ , 6.25 

 mm.; $, 5.5 mm. 



Vertex a trifle longer than its basal width, disc convex, apex distinctly 

 pointed. Pronotum long, deeply and almost angularly excavated pos- 

 teriorly. Elytra long and narrow, the apex of clavus equalling the 

 apex of ovipositor, costal margin convex its entire length. Female 

 segment long, truncate or slightly emarginate, male valve long, round- 

 ingly narrowing and acutely pointed. 



Color Pale greenish white, a broad median brown stripe extends 

 from the black point on apex of vertex to the apex of clavus and a 

 smoky brown stripe continues to apex of elytra. The brown stripe 

 is margined with black from the base of the vertex back and varies in 

 width as follows : Four regular oval enlargements on vertex, from 

 which it regularly broadens to the base of the scutellum, then slightly 

 narrows to the elytra, on the elytra there are three slightly angular 

 enlargements increasing in size posteriorly. There is an irregular black 

 spot just outside the apex of clavus on either side from which the 

 smoky stripe takes its origin. 



Described from five examples from Tia Juana, California, 

 collected by the author. This spedfes is much nearer to lineata 

 than any other northern form. 



Neocoelidia tripunctata n. sp. 



Longer than compta, resembling pallida, but broader. Pale with three 

 black spots and a median brown stripe. Length 5.25 ram. 



Vertex slightly longer than wide, very bluntly conical with a trace 

 of a carinate margin near the apex, front very broad and tumid. 

 Elytra rather long, broad and flaring at base then narrowing to the 

 appressed apex, giving the insect on oval appearance. Female segment 

 moderately long, posterior margin roundingly truncate. 



Color Vertex and face creamy yellow, a large black spot on apex. 

 Pronotum pale straw, a pair of faint brown stripes broadly margined 

 exteriorly with milky white, scutellum milky, with a pair of shining 

 black points. Elytra with a narrow common sutural stripe of rich 

 brown margined either side with a broader stripe of milky white which 

 shades out into the subhyaline white of the elytra. 



Described from a single female from Arizona. A pale, but 

 very pretty and distinct species.
