the middle; costal area biseriate, the outer row of areolae smaller than

 the middle of the elytra (farther than in fuse i pes), with four rows of 

 areolae at its widest part; sutural area broad, the areolae along the inner 

 margin and distal end very large. Wings longer than the abdomen. 

 Length, 2.45 mm.; width, .9 mm. 



Color: Head and body beneath black. Legs testaceous, the tips 

 of tarsi infuscated. Antennae black, except distal two-thirds of the 

 third segment and narrow basal portion of the fourth testaceous. 

 Margin of bucculae and rostral lamina whitish. Pronotum black, a few 

 spots on the carinae, apex of posterior process, and lateral margins 

 whitish. Elytra with the outer margin and areolae whitish, the areolae 

 nearly opaque; transverse nervures along inner row of costal area, 

 costate nervures that bound areas, and the inner and distal nervures 

 of sutural area brownish. 



Described from one macropterous male, labelled "Marion 

 County, Arkansas, June 27, 1897." 



Atheas nigricornis Champion. 



We have one example of this species that was taken in the 

 Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, July 26, 1905, by Mr. H. G. 

 Barber. This seems to be the first record for the species in 

 the United States. 



Atheas sordidus spec. nov. 



Head a little broader than long, the antenniferous tubercles stout 

 and pointed, but more slender and longer than in annulatus. Antennae 

 reaching a little beyond the apex of posterior process of the pronotum; 

 first segment a little thicker and one and a half times as long as the 

 second; third segment slenderest, less than twice the length of the 

 fourth; fourth segment thickened towards the apex, a little longer than 

 the first. Pronotum closely punctate, tricarinate, the carinae more 

 strongly raised than in A. annulatus; lateral margins narrow, converging 

 forwards, with the outer margin nearly straight, with two rows of cells 

 at the anterior end and only a single series back of the middle, the 

 areolae small and round or oval. Rostrum reaching between the first 

 pair of coxae. Elytra reaching a little beyond the apex of the abdomen, 

 the outer margin rounded, with the nervures that bound the areas 

 distincth' raised; costal area narrow, with one complete series of areolae 

 and an extra row near the base and apex ; subcostal area with two rows of 

 areolae; discoidal area reaching considerably beyond the middle of the 

 elytra, with five rows of areolae at the widest part, the inner boundary 

 distinctly wavy. Wings not visible. Length, 2.15 mm. ; width, .85 mm. 



Color: Head and body beneath blackish. Antennae black, except 

 the distal third or half of third segment, which is yellowish. Legs 

 testaceous, the tarsi infuscated. Pronotum black, the carinae, anterior 

 margin, apex of posterior process, and lateral margins whitish. Elytra 

 sordid yellowish, the lateral margins whitish, and the areolae whitish, 

 opaque. Margins of bucculae and rostral laminae whitish.
