THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 89 



sulcus ; process of metazona feebly obtusangulate. Tegmina blackish 

 fuscous with a heavy testaceous sutural stripe, and crossed at middle and 

 beyond by a narrow pallid stripe, and at end of basal third by a cinereous 

 patch, the apical fifth vitreous, crossed by a couple of blackish fuscous 

 stripes ; wings pale citron at base, hyaline apically, the sutural line 

 luteous, with a broad, blackish fuliginous mesial band curving broadly 

 around the outer margin to the anal angle, and in the humeral area 

 sending a narrowing taenia half way to the base ; it leaves the four 

 upper lobes free at the margin, but the two upper are clouded apically ; 

 the last forked branch of the discoidal vein arises at the outer edge of the 

 mesial band ; hind legs much as in H. compactus. 



Length of body, 25 mm.; tegmina, 25 mm. 



1 o* . Alabama; C F. Baker; No. 1912. 



The species is separated from H. compactus Scudd., to which it is 

 most nearly allied, by the markings of the tegmina (in which the darker 

 parts are much more extended) and in the surface structure of the 

 pronotal disc. 



Hippiscus glaucipes, sp. nov.— Dark fuscous, sometimes more or less 

 ferruginous, of slender form and small size. Head not very large, dull 

 fuscous above, elsewhere pale fusco-cinereous, occasionally pale ferruginous, 

 dotted with obscure fuscous, the summit feebly granulate behind the 

 fastigium, which is distinct, with sharply defined but not greatly elevated 

 walls, almost as broad as long, divided in anterior half by a median 

 carina, open posteriorly ; lateral foveolre distinct, subtriangular, longer 

 than broad, the inferior margin arcuate, the superior straight, embracing 

 with their tips a median foveola of similar size and depth, its margins 

 arcuate above, straight beneath when clearly distinguished from the frontal 

 costa, as especially in the male; frontal costa moderately broad, sub- 

 equal but slightly contracted at the summit and below the ocellus, some- 

 what sulcate throughout. Pronotum compressed, a little expanded on 

 the metazona, especially in the female, nearly plane above, but the 

 metazona feebly convex in the female, the process rectangulate, the 

 median carina slight, equal, straight, uninterrupted between the sulci, the 

 lateral canthi distinct but confined to the metazona, the dorsal surface, 

 especially of metazona, marked with short, slightly obliquely longitudinal, 

 distinct ruga?, the prozona with a slight scutellum, the lateral lobes with a 

 broad, distinctly retroarcuate curve posteriorly. Tegmina dark fuscous, 

 darkest in basal third and at the middle, with a distinct and generally
