brown, excepting first sector. Last ventral segment but bttle longer than 

 preceding,hind margin truncate, with the lateral angles somewhat produced. 



Described from a single specimen from Brazil in the Herbert H. 

 Smith collection. It is the largest and finest known species in the genus. 

 It is most nearly related io gratiosus, Spang., which is also an undoubted 

 Neocoelidea. 



Paracoclidea, n. gen. — With the venation and other characters of 

 Neocoelidea, but with the clypeus strongly and very conspicuously tuber- 

 culate. 'I'his is a character unique in the tribe Jassini and very rare in 

 the subfamily Jassinii". The elytra are elongate as in Thavmotettix. 

 Type, Paracoclidea tuberculata, n. sp. 



Paracoclidea tuberculata, n. sp.— Female. Length 5 mm. Vertex 

 rather strongly produced and subacute, as in Neocoelidea pallida. Colour 

 pale yellowish. The elytra subhyaline and faintly yellowish, with the in- 

 ternal margin and a[)ex slightly infuscate. Tergum medially black. 

 Wing with the third sector and its forks strongly brown, the other veins 

 pale. Last ventral segment twice length of preceding, hind margin 

 truncate. 



Male somewhat more highly coloured. The valves are about twice 



as long as entire breadth at base, tapering to obtuse tips, sides rounded 



below, somewhat constricted at two-thirds of length. 



Described from several specimens from New Bedford, Mass. (Hough), 

 several from Washington, D. C. (Coquillt ti), a number from the vicinity 

 of Baltimore taken on i)ine (Uhler), and one female collected by myself 

 at Auburn, Ala. 



Terulia 7/iag/ia, n. sp. — Female. Length 14 mm, breadth across 

 base of elytra 5 mm. Ocelli equidistant from eyes and median line. 

 Front with a fine, sharp median carina. Clypeus with a narrow median 

 callosity and with apex somewhat emarginate. Clavus without transverse 

 nervures. Colour ferruginous throughout, including the subcoriaceous 

 elytra; front a little lighter, vertex darker before tip. The strong carina 

 on propleura, and some indistinct markings on fore and middle legs, 

 reddish. , Hind legs lineate with black. Last ventral segment depressed 

 on either side of a strong median ridge, the hind margin acutely produced 

 medially, then broadly incurved to the prominent lateral angles. 



Described from a single female in the Herbert H. Smith collection, 

 taken at Para, Brazil, in July. This species is nearest ferrugiiiea (Stal.), 

 but differs in size and various minor characters. It is the largest described 

 species in the genus. 



Petalopoda annulipes (Spang) — There is a specimen of this curious 

 Jassid in the Herbert H. Smith collection, taken at Santarem, Brazil.
