232 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



scutellum pale creamy. A pair of parallel black stripes extending the 

 entire length, interrupted on the sutures; a pair of black spots outside 

 these on the posterior part of the scutellum, and a pair of black spots 

 behind the eyes. Elytra pale creamy, subhyaline, a brownish stripe 

 covers the outer part of the base of clavus and inner half of corium back 

 to middle, beyond this the nervures are deep smoky-brown, except the 

 outer fork of the outer sector, its cross vein and the outer apical nervure. 

 Legs striped with fuscous and pale. 



Described from three females collected at Biscayne Bay by Mrs. 

 Annie T. Slosson. This very large and distinct form in this group is only 

 one of the many fine Homoptera that have come to hand from Mrs. 

 Slosson's collecting, and I take pleasure in naming it after her. 



Phyllodinus flabellatus, n. sp. — Larger and lighter coloured than 

 nervatus, and with a longer vertex. Testaceous brown, with the posterior 

 half of the vertex, the scutellum and the tips of the short wing pads milky 

 white. Length, brachypterous ^, 3 nmi., width 2 mm. Head slightly 

 narrower than pronotum, vertex nearly quadrate, rounding in front. Front 

 parallel margined, much longer than wide. Elytra about as long as head 

 and pronotum, truncate behind, venation simple, indistinct. Colour : 

 vertex and face dark brown, with about seven narrow interrupted transverse 

 white bands. A light stripe across the apex of front, extending on across 

 the gense to join the stripe on the reflexed portion of pronotum. Clypeus 

 piceus, pronotum with the anterior half piceous brown, posterior half and 

 scutellum milky white. Elytra brown, the posterior margin milky white, 

 broadest towards the costal margin. Abdomen above brown, a median 

 and three lateral rows of white dashes, the anterior ones reduced to dots. 

 Below dark brown or pitchy. Two anterior pairs of femora dirty straw, 

 their foliaceous tibise fuscous, the tarsi white, tipped with black. 



Described from two females, one from Washington, D. C, from the 

 collection of Otto Heidemann, and the other from Riverton, N. J., collected 

 by C. W. Johnson, and sent by E. P. Van Duzee. Another female from 

 the District of Columbia apparently belongs here, but is immature and not 

 fuliy coloured. This is a pretty species, and might be mistaken for 

 a Fissonotus but for the foliaceous tibise.
