THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 91 



elevated. Pygofers shorter than in 4-pimctata and scarcely exceeded by 

 the oviduct which in its ally is distinctly longer. In the male the front is 

 as strongly constricted below the antennae as in the female, while in 

 4-punctata the constriction is very slight ; and the outer angles of the 

 cheeks in the male constrida are almost obsolete. Plates more slender 

 than in 4-punctata, triangular at base, narrow and parallel beyond with 

 their rounded apex not attaining the tip of the pygofers. 



Colour and markings substantially as in 4punctata : Yellowish 

 testaceous, marked and clouded with fuscous. Sutures of the face, apical 

 disc of the clypeus, an oval mark on the front, a longitudinal line from 

 the basal angle of the front continued over the vertex and to the apex of 

 the scutellum, four spots on the pronotum — two near the apex, and two at 

 the humeral angles — a dot on the vertex against the eye and another on 

 each ocellus, fuscous-brown. Two round spots on the vertex, two more 

 on the disc of the pronotum posteriorly, and the antennal pits, black. 

 Pectoral pieces and legs more or less clouded with brown. Elytra 

 fuscous with pale nervures. Abdomen more or less fuscous or even 

 black in some males, the genital pieces pale. 



The colours are paler in the females. Sometimes the fuscous markings 

 are almost obsolete above, but the four black spots on the vertex and pro- 

 notum seem to be constant. 



New Jersey, Mississippi, Florida. Described from numerous examples 

 received from Mr. Howard Evarts Weed, Prof J. B. Smith, and others. 

 This appears to be a common species in the Southern States, wheie it 

 replaces A. 4-punctata. 



4. Agallia uhleri, n. sp. 



Allied to sanguinolenta but more slender. Pale greyish-brown tinged 

 with yellow, especially beneath. Two round dots on the vertex, the basal 

 angles of the scutellum and two oblique marks on its apical field, some- 

 times continued forward as an interrupted median line, a cloud on the 

 pectoral pieces, the tergum, its margins excepted, and sometimes the base 

 of the vertex, black. Front brov/n, with pale lateral arcs, or pale with 

 brown arcs. Elytra subhyaline, with distinct brown nervures. Front a 

 little longer and narrower than in sanguitiolenta. Last ventral segment 

 of the female deeply and widely cleft, the lateral lobes rounded. Genital 

 characters of the male about as in sanguinolenta. In deeply-coloured 

 specimens the pronotum shows four longitudinal vitt^e, the apex of the
