THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 20 X 



narrowing apically; veins on clavus sometimes tied before the middle, but 

 not converging. 



Colour : a dirty creamy yellow, washed and irrorate with brownish 

 fulvous, vertex and face washed and very finely irrorate with dirty fulvous, 

 omitting a light line marking the boundary between them, and a crescent 

 behind the apex of the vertex ; elytra rather coarsely and uniformly irro- 

 rate, lower side and legs washed with fulvous, scarcely marked. 



Genitalia : ultimate ventral segment of the female twice the length of 

 the penultimate, slightly notched in the middle of the posterior margin, 

 either side of which it is slightly smuated to the rectangular lateral angles; 

 male valve triangular, the margins indented midway to the apex, plates 

 gradually narrowing to half their basal width, then extending as acutely 

 tipped, attingent, finger- like processes four times the length of the 

 valve. 



Described from numerous specimens collected at Holly and Fort 

 Collins, Colo., and at Stratton, Neb. This species and lasciv'nis have 

 female genitalia much alike in pattern, while the male plates are (juite 

 different ; those of turpiculus resembling irroratiis, while lasctvins 

 resembles nebulosus. 



Phlepsiiis graphicus, n. sp. — Resembling superbiis, slightly longer and 

 heavier built, the lobate commissural line distinct. Length 7 mm.; width 

 3 mm. 



Head narrower than the pronotum, vertex sloping, the margin dis- 

 tinct but not compressed ; width at base twice the middle length, very 

 slightly longer on middle than at eye, more than half the length of the 

 pronotum ; front broad above, rounding to the spatulale clypeus below ; 

 elytra long, flaring apically, the claval nervures tied by a cross nervure 

 before the middle. 



Colour : ground colour soiled straw yellow, vertex and pronotum irro- 

 rate with testaceous, a round spot on either side the yetex at the base, and 

 pupillate spots on the pronotum behind these, a pair of round spots on 

 the scutelluni, the apical part light ; elytra pale, the nervures and irrora- 

 tions brownish fuscous, the scutellar margin and a lobate commissural 

 line light, irrorations gathered into fuscous spots along the costa ; face 

 heavily irrorate with brownish fuscous ; legs light, marked and lined with 

 fuscous. 



Genitalia : ultimate ventral segment of the female three times as long
