")0 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



triangular. Plates twice the length of valve, tapering to narrow points, 

 the sides incurved at middle. 



Described from two males, one collected at Ashland, Ore., the other 

 at Portland, Ore., botli during September, 1897, by Prof A. P. Morse. 

 Near acutits, but the vertex is shorter, the pronotum without light vittcT, 

 the elytra with fewer white spots, and colour beneath much lighter. 



Platymetopiics te/iui/rons, n. sp. 



Length, t , 5.5 mm. Head long, unusually narrowed beyond the 

 eyes, and distinctly narrower than pronotum. Vertex strongly produced, 

 suddenly narrowed beyond eyes, point blunt ; width between eyes about 

 half length at middle ; disc broadly medially silicate. Face, viewed from 

 side, strongly concave above. Pronotal width two and one-fourth times 

 the length, the latter less than two-thirds that of the vercex. Anterior 

 margin of pronotum recurved behind eyes. 



Colour ferruginous, thickly and very finely irrorate throughout, 



including the face, which is darkened towards its summit. Point of 



vertex wiih a black dot on either side of tip. Scutel with a faint 



white longitudinal line on either side. Elytra with one or two 



small round white spots in each of the cells back of apical ; the apical 



veins and about twelve recurved nervures darkened. Valve large, broadly 



rounded behind. Plates short, about as long as valve, and rapidly 



narrowed to acute points. 



Described from one male in the Herbert H. Smith collection, taken 

 at Chapada, Brazil, in May. Resembles y>/f^//'r^«i in the deeply coloured 

 face, but is much larger and with a far longer vertex, besides differing 

 otherwise. 



PlatymetopiHS latiis, n. sp. 



Length, 9 > 5 nim. Vertex very long, as long as twice the width 

 between eyes, the median sulcus becoming very broad towards tip. 



Colour clear pale ferruginous, below with the entire face paler. Sulcus 

 on vertex darkened by fine longitudinal vermiculations. Pronotum, scutel 

 and most of elytra unicolorous, without markings of any sort, except a 

 {c'N fine brown dots in internal apical cells of elytra, and about eight 

 small recurved brown dashes along costa. Legs entirely without mark- 

 ings Last ventral segment twice length of preceding, the hind margin 

 rather narrowly, but evenly, rounded. 



Described from a single female collected by myself in the foothills 

 near Fort Collins, Colorado. 'Phis species is nearest acuius, but has a 

 much longer vertex, entirely lacks any markings on pronotum or disc of 

 elytra, and has the elytra more widely flaring at the sides than in that 

 species.
