BY EDMUND H. GIBSON, U. S. BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY. 



With the addition of the following new species the total number 

 of Jassoidea reported as occurring in Missouri* is brought to 155. 



Tinobregmus moodii n.sp. Near pallidus Osb. but slightly 

 larger, with lorse exceeding the middle of the clypeus and elytra 

 not extending to pygofer. 



Vertex narrow, broadening anteriorly; front narrow, elongate; 

 clypeus elongate, at its widest point equaling width of front, only 

 slightly emarginate at apex; beak extending to hind coxae; cheeks 

 long, flaring; lorae narrow, elongate, exceeding the middle of the 

 clypeus. Pronotum short, length less than half that of width, 

 posterior border slightly sinuate. Elytra ovate, not extending to 

 the pygofer; veins rather indistinct. Length of female 63/2 rnm. 

 to tip of ovipositor; male 4^^ mm. long. 



Colour, pale tawny yellow, vertex and pronotum of female 

 unmarked, tip of vertex of male irregularly marked with fuscous; 

 front and clypeus marked with a broad, longitudinal vitta on each 

 side which coalesce just before apex of clypeus. Pronotum bor- 

 dered laterally with fuscous; elytra subhyaline to opaque with a 

 heavy, black border at the apex. Dorsal side of abdomen irregu- 

 larly marked; pectoral pieces black; venter fuscous with whitish 

 border; ovipositor black. 



Genitalia, last ventral segment of female distinctly sinuous, 

 ovipositor extending beyond the pygofer; male plates long and 

 narrow with acute apex. 



Described from one female and one male which are deposited 

 in the collection of the U. S. National Museum. Specimens were 

 taken in a sweeping from weeds growing on a high ridge of the 

 Ozark Mt. range, near Branson, Mo., August 22, 1916, by Mr. F. 

 M. Moody in whose honor the species is named.
