282 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Scutellum black, with the tip, the lateral margins anteriorly, and a 

 median line reaching only to the transverse impressed line, yellow. 

 Elytra white, dusky toward the apex, marked as in variata, with oblique 

 brown bands forming a lozenge anteriorly, including a pale commissural 

 spot, and an x posteriorly with the tip of the clavus as its centre, the 

 median bands being common to both marks. These brown bands do not 

 attain the costal margin, and are more strongly distinguished than .in 

 variata. Abdomen and pleural pieces deep black, the margin of the 

 tergal pieces slenderly yellow, venter sometimes yellow with the segments 

 and connexivum bordered within their margins with blackish. Legs 

 brown, the joints and tibial spines pale. 



New York ; New Hampshire. Described from three examples ; one 

 male taken by me at Lancaster, N. Y., July 12th, 1889, a female taken at 

 " High Bridge," New York City, in June, by Mr. E. B. Southwick, and a 

 second female taken on the summit of Mt. Washington by Mrs. Annie 

 Trumbull Slosson, to whom I take pleasure in dedicating this pretty little 

 species as a slight tribute to her persevering devotion to the study of 

 entomology. 



3. Chlorotettix necopina, ;/. sp. 



Form and size of tergatus nearly. Vertex with a black transverse 

 band between the eyes. Colour above greenish-testaceous, marked and 

 clouded with brown ; elytra fuscous, with strong white nervures. Length, 

 7 mm. 



Vertex a little more produced than in tergatus, and the front propor- 

 tionately longer and narrower ; ocelli contiguous to the eyes. Last ven- 

 tral segment of the female thin, broadly and deeply cleft nearly to its 

 base ; this incisure at its apex armed with a small blunt tooth, the lateral 

 lobes ovate, in one example feebly angled at apex. Pygofers stout, very 

 slightly exceeded by the oviduct, and armed with a few stout brown 

 bristles. Other characters about as in tergatus. 



Colour : Beneath pale greenish tinged with testaceous, especially on 

 the front, which is marked on the sides by about ten nearly obsolete 

 brown arcs, and two brown dots are at the base of the clypeus ; eyes 

 dark brown edged with pale. Vertex with a broad transverse blackish 

 band just behind the ocelli. Pronotum testaceous, pale before and on 

 the median line, either side of which is a brown cloud, and a smaller one 

 occupies the latero-posterior angle, transverse wrinkles less distinct than 

 in tergatus. Scutellum marked with a piceous triangular spot within the
