148 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF HOMOPTERA. 



BY H. K. MORRISON, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



Homoptera wiiformis, nov. sp. 



Expanse 40 m. m. Length of body, 18 m. m. 



Palpi long and slender, the second joint light and contrasting, the 

 third dark, tipped with light. Thorax as usual in the genus. Abdomen 

 cylindrical, wiih slight white dorsal tufts. Anterior wings uniform dull 

 gray-brown, sprinkled with black atoms ; the usual black clear-cut trans- 

 verse lines are obsolete, the subterminal line only is seen as a black 

 diffuse shade crossing the wings ; some basal black markings ; ordinary 

 spots black, very distinct, close together ; the orbicular a round spot, the 

 reniform a sublimate black mark ; a series of black dots before the con- 

 colorous fringe. 



Posterior wings concolorous with the anteriors, having the same 

 diffuse subterminal band, which, however, becomes condensed into a 

 black spot at the anal angle. Beneath gray, concolorous, v/ithout lines ; 

 distinct black discal dots and a series of bicolorous white and black dots 

 before the fringe. 



Hab. Georgia. 



Received from my friend. Mr. George W. Peck, of Brooklyn. The

 not differ structurally from the other ffomoptcrce. 



Homoptera cinerea, nov. sp. 



Expanse, 45 m. m. Length of body, 20 m. m. 



Palpi gray, of normal form. Collar, thorax and abdomen cinereous 

 black. Pterygodes well marked. Abdomen strongly tufted, the two anal 

 segments ochreous, very distinctly so beneath. Both wings shining, 

 cinereous, on a black ground ; the outer half of the wings have a slight 

 purple tinge in certain lights ; orbicular spot a black dot \ median shade 

 well marked, angulate on the median vein, followed by a blackish, less 

 cinereous shade ; exterior line black, indistinct, preceded by a cinereous 

 shade line, twice angulate opposite the brown diffuse reniform spot ; sub- 

 terminal line distinct inferiorly only ; a yellow brown shade along the 

 costa of the posterior wings ; the disk of the wings is occupied by
