82 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



moderately long and slender, venation indistinct. Female segment short, 

 the posterior margin in the form of an obtusely angled triangle, with the 

 apex slightly produced, the pygofers short and stout. 



Colour : Pale golden-yellow, the elytra coriaceous and uniform in 

 shade with the rest of the body. The anterior margin of vertex with an 

 ivory line, behind which there are faintly indicated in brown the six 

 points usual in this group. Face and below yellow, traces of alternate 

 light and brown arcs on disc of front. 



Described from a single female from Washington, D. C. This is by 

 far the smallest member of this subgenus, and will be readily recognized 

 by its uniform golden colour and distinct genitalia. 



EuUttix amanda, n. sp. — Form of Mildreda nearly, smaller, paler, 

 with oblique brown markings on elytra. Length, 9 5 mm. 



Vertex convex, margin rounding to front except at the apex, which is 

 bluntly conically pointed. Front narrower than in Jfi/dreda, margins 

 sloping directly into clypeus. Female segment moderately long, posterior 

 margin rounding, median fifth slightly excavated, with a broad blunt tooth 

 exceeding the margin by half its width. 



Colour : Vertex creamy, with two irregular oval spots on the disc 

 pale tawny. Pronotum milky, clouded with pale greenish fuscous, except 

 for a broad median stripe, which becomes ivory-white on the scutellum, 

 where it includes all but the brown basal angles. A transverse brown 

 dash inside and behind either eye, with a line extending in towards the 

 centre of the pronotum. Elytra pale, with a faint brown wash, and heavy 

 brown or fuscous markings, as follows : the scutellar and sutural margins 

 of clavus before the middle, the apex of clavus, a spot near base of 

 corium, an oblique dash before the middle in line with the apex of clavus, 

 a transverse band on second costal nervure, and a cloud on the apex. 

 All of the brown markings, except at base and apex, are irregularly 

 margined with ivory-white. Face dirty yellow, pygofers castaneous. 



Described from a single female from Arizona. This is a new and 

 quite distinct addition to the handsome species of this group. 



Scaphoideus Catalinus, n. sp. — Form of blandus nearly, smaller, and 

 with a shorter vertex. Tawny yellow, with two white bands on elytra. 

 Length, % 4 mm. 



Vertex roundingly rectangular, as long as its basal width, and almost 

 equalling the pronotum, disc flat or slightly depressed. Elytra short, 

 stout, Platymetopius-like in form and venation, second cross nervure
