over the lateral angles. But the present species has ihe form not of 

 S/nilia, but of Cyrtolobus. Tliese two genera cannot be separated by the 

 ])resence or absence of a cross-vein between the two ulnar veins, since this 

 cross-vein is frequently absent in Cyrtolobus, and is commonly present or 

 represented by rudiments in Smilia ; indeed, numerous specimens in both 

 genera may be found that are Cyrtolobus on one side and Smilia on the 

 other, and this is a common condition in the species under discussion. 

 However, Cyrtolobus rarely has the pronotum at all elevated so far forward 

 as above the lateral angles. 



Telamonanthe Rileyi, Godg. 



During ail the days of collecting I was able to crowd into a busy three 

 years on the West Coast, I was continually looking for the two species of 

 Telamona described by (loding as Rileyi and Coguilletii. Though I 

 collected some Telamona related to the reclivata of F'ltch, still there were 

 no Telamona that possessed the characters of these species. I had, how- 

 ever, taken a series of specimens in Middle and Southern California, and 

 received others from Oregon, of a species certainly as variable as any 

 Telamona, but belonging in another group of the family. It possessed a 

 petioled apical cell in the wings, and had, besides, the tegminal venation 

 nearly, and also the very strongly produced shoulders of Antianthe. Its 

 pronotal hump was more like that of certain Telamona than Antianthe, 

 not being ([uite so evenly rounded in front, and rather deeply depressed 

 behind. In two other important i)articulars it differs widely from 

 Antianthe : the radial nervure is distant from the costa and quite close to 

 the outer ulnar, leaving a broad costal area; almost the whole area bounded 

 by the costa and the inner ulnar, except at extreme apex just before the 

 apical aieas, is thick coriaceous and strongly punctate throughout. 



I had separated this as a new genus and species, and was about to 

 describe it when, through tlie kindness of Dr. Howard and Mr. Heide- 

 man, I was able to study authentic apecimens of Coding's Telamona 

 Rileyi and T. Coquilletii. In these specimens I found the very species 

 with which I had been working, both representing merely such forms as I 

 possessed a number of within the same species limits, and such as might 

 be found in considerable numbers in almost any eastern species of 

 Cyrtolobus and Telamona. Coding was evidently misled by the general 

 form and failed to examine the wing venation, or he would never have 

 referred it to Telamona. I had named it Telamonanthe, and it may b^ar 

 that name, with Rileyi as the ty|)e and Coquilletii as a synonym.
