THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 403 



between and above the antennae ; the pentagonal area elevated, with broad 

 rounding walls ; the ocellar basin convex, with a short longitudinal furrow 

 in front of and behind the median ocellus, the posterior furrow joining the 

 interocellar furrow ; the interocellar furrow straight, extending between 

 the lateral ocelli, but not joining the antennal furrows at side ; the body 

 uniformly, densely covered with short white setae ; the clypeus emarginate 

 at apex, but not carinate at middle; the antennae with the third segment 

 longer than the fourth and shorter than the fourth and fifth together, the 

 fourth longer than the fifth, the sixth to ninth subequal, the ninth bluntly 

 rounded at apex ; the wings hyaline; the veins, stigma and the costa black ; 

 the stigma twice as long as broad, convex behind ; the saw-guides straight 

 above, straight and converging below, obliquely truncate at apex, the 

 lower angle broadly rounded, the upper more pointed, the margin fringed 

 with setse. Length, 7 mm.

Schizocerus Johnsoni, Ashm. , MSS. — Body black, with the pronotum, 

 the tegulae, the base of the wings, the lateral lobes of the mesonotum and 

 the lateral margin of the median lobe adjacent to them, the knees, the 

 front and middle tibiae and the basal half of their tarsi, the basal half of 

 the hind tibiae, and a broad band along the lateral margin of the 

 abdomen, the side of the band straight on the ventral side, angulate in 

 front on each segment on the dorsal side ; the head, thorax, and abdomen 

 polished ; the clypeal fovea deep and continuous with the antennal fovea, 

 the antennal furrow a deep channel extending from the antennal fovea to 

 the lateral ocelli, where the ridge shelves off and the furrow becomes 

 broadly linear around the lateral ocellus and indistinct opposite the 

 postocular area ; the postocular area distinct, strongly elevated ; the 

 interocellar furrow sharply impressed, distinct, concave behind, continuous ; 

 the pentagonal area sharply outlined by the inner walls of the antennal 

 furrows, triangular in outline, long and narrow ; the median fovea a deep 

 pit in the tip of the pentagonal area, round ; the ocellar basin distinct, 

 sharply depressed, ring-like around the median ocellus, the depression 

 connected with the interocellar furrow ; the hypoclypeal area produced 

 into a high, thin ridge between the antennae, broadly, convexly expanded 

 below ; the posterior orbits flat ; the saw-guides straight above and below, 

 slightly concave near the middle of the ventral surface, convexly, obliquely
