200 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



brown cast. The venation obscure except the veinlets surrounding the 

 apical cells, which are a dark rusty brown. The apices of claval veins 

 milky white. 



Genitalia.. — Female segment moderately long, truncate posteriorly? 

 with a median emargination and produced tooth as in ijitricata. Male 

 valve small, inconspicuous, rounding, plates long, triangular, slightly 

 attenuately pointed. 



Described from two males and three females taken at San Francisco, 

 California, in June and September, by the author. The large black 

 markings and dark apical veinlets will at once separate this species from 

 its allies. 



Athysanus (Conosanus) Uhleri^ n. sp. 



Resembling antJwacinus, but slightly larger and lighter coloured and 

 with a more pointed vertex and shorter elytra. Black, with orange mark- 

 ings and pale nervures. Length, 9 4.5 mm. 



Vertex slightly obtusely angular, the margins straight, twice wider than 

 long, nearly twice longer on middle than against the eye. Pronotum half 

 longer than vertex. Elytra broad and sliort, about equalling the body, 

 posteriorly roundingly truncate. Venation as in anthracimis, the central 

 anteapical cell scarcely narrowed, apical cells broad and short, rarely 

 much longer than wide. 



Colour. — Black, a line on base of vertex wiih a point extending for- 

 ward on either side, a pair of oblique sjjots against ihe eyes, a few spots 

 near apex of vertex and on anterior part of pronotum, a pair of irregular 

 stripes on scutellum and the elytral nervures yellow. A few traces of pale 

 in the discal cells. Face black, a it\y short yellow arcs. Legs black, the 

 anterior and middle pair abruptly yellow from just before the apex of 

 femora. Hind tibia with the spines yellow. 



Genitalia. — Female segment but little longer than penultimate, pos- 

 terior margin roundingly produced on median half, the lateral angles 

 produced. 



Described from two females collected by the writer at Ames, Iowa. 

 In the Osborn and Ball Review this species was confused with the one 

 described as //2<!/(5>;^/?/5 Uhler. That is, however, a longer and narrower 

 species, with a wider head and fuscous banded femora. 



Athysayitis ( Comfnellus) estacadiis^ n. sp. 



Resembling Curtisii in size and general appearance, but with a flatter,
