SOME NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN DORYOINI (Jassin.*:). 



BY C. F. BAKER, AUBURN, ALA. 



Spangbergiella vulnerata, Uhler. — There are two specimens of this 

 species in the National Museum collection from New York, and another 

 in Fitch collection from Arkansas. 



Spangbergiella Lync/iii, Berg. — Signoret quotes the description of 

 this species in his Essai sur les Jassides and says : " This species might 

 well be the S. vulneratiis." Berg takes this suggestion as the final dis- 

 position of the species, and reduces Lynchii to a synonym o{ vulnerata. 

 I have a specimen of what is undoubtedly this species, from the Herbert 

 H. Smith collection taken at Corumba. While it is very near vulnerata., 

 still I think it should retain its place as a good species. It differs from 

 vulnerata in having the head more slender, vertex a fourth longer than 

 width between the eyes, the red lines not reaching the middle. In 

 North American specimens of vulnerata (and so figured by Signoret) 

 the vertex is but little if any longer than broad between the eyes, and the 

 red lines converge considerably beyond the middle — at the tip as figured 

 by Signoret. 



Spangbergiella niexicana, n. sp. — ?. Length, 6.5 mm. Pale green, 

 darker on vertex, pronotum, and bases of abdominal segments. Two 

 oblique slender red lines on vertex, converging towards the tip, whicli 

 they do not quite reach. Pronotum with two red lines extending its 

 whole length, nearly in line with those on vertex, at its base with a 

 median yellowish dash. Scutel immaculate. Elytra whitish towards the 

 tips ; claval suture and all veins except apical, yellow. A black dot at 

 end of claval suture, and one each at end of first and fourth apical veins. 



Vertex triangular, obtusely angulate anteriorly, but little longer than 

 breadth between the eyes, about a fourth longer than pronotum. Clypeus 

 subrectangular, broadly rounded at tip. Pronotum twice as wide as long. 

 Ovipositor two-thirds length of rest of venter, exceeding the elytra by 

 ^2, mm. Last ventral segment a half longer than preceding, hind margin 

 truncate. 



Described from a single female collected at Vera Cruz^ Mexico, by 

 Rev. H. Th. Heyde. This species is nearly related to S. pundato-guttata 

 and S. felix, but is distinct from both as described above. 



Bergiella, n. gen. Type, Parabolocratus uruguayensis, Berg. — The 

 head is broader than long, somewhat angulate and sloping as in Para- 

 liQlocratus. The frontal sutures are arrested at the ^ntennal scrobes. Th?
