158 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



clavus has but a single longitudinal vein. A specimen of this species, 

 collected at Chapada, is in the H. H. Smith collection. I name this 

 genus in honour of the author of " Hemiptera Argentina." 



Parabolocratiis flavidus, Sign. — This species, described from North 

 America, was omitted from the Van Duzee List. There are specimens in 

 the National Museum from Texas. I have also collected it at Auburn, Ala. 



Paraphlepsiiis, n. gen. — Head about the same width as the prothorax 

 and considerably shorter, three and a half times as broad as long, 

 anteriorly foliaceous, angulate, vertex level. Face of the normal Jassid 

 type. Frontal sutures continued to the edge of vertex. Ocelli on the 

 edge between vertex and face, somewhat rem )ved from the eyes. Elytra 

 broad, slightly exceeding a!)domen, bUmtlv rounded at tip, with a narrow 

 appendix. Apical cells four, anteapical two, basal transverse vein 

 entering radial cell. Clavus with two longitudinal veins. Wings with 

 three apical cells exclusive of the closed costal. 



This genus is nearest to Psegmatus, Fieber, from which it differs in 

 having the head broader and much shorter than pronotum, and the frontal 

 sutures nearly straight, instead of strongly bent inward, as in Psegmatiis. 

 Type :— 



ParapJilcpsiiis ramostts, n. sp. — $ ^ . Length, 7 mm. Robust. 

 Thickly marked with fine brownish dots and ramose lines. Face and 

 below brown, the face marked with numerous yellowish dots. Legs 

 yellowish, annulate with dark brown. Vertex and pronotum brownish, 

 with numerous small, partly confluent whitish dots, which are larger on 

 the latter. Elytra whitish translucent, with very numerous brown ramose 

 lines adjoining the veins and in the cells ; in the female a large irregular 

 clearer space towards base ; in the male this clearer space is more pro- 

 nounced, and there are small clear spots in several of the cells, the 

 ramose lines becoming darker in a broad transverse band at middle of 

 elytra. 



Genee broadly angularly emarginate below the eyes, the succeeding 

 angle very obtuse, beyond attaining the tip of the clypeus. Lorse large, 

 semilunar. Clypeus trapezoidal, narrower at base, truncate at tip. Front 

 rapidly broadening above, apex rather abruptly bent forward, sides nearly 

 straight. Width of vertex between eyes two and a half times the length ; 

 length about two-thirds that of pronotum. Pronotum two and one-third 

 times as wide as long, broadly rounded anteriorly, hind margin gently 

 concave ; posteriorly the surface is rather coarsely, subobsoletely creased-
