Described from eight examples from G. F. Moznette, taken on avocado 

 at Miami, Florida. Type 9 and allotype cf in the author's collection, 

 paratypes in the author's and Mr. Moznette's collection. 



Empoasca minuenda var. moznettei, n. var. 



Size and form of minuenda, golden or lemon yellow with a variable num- 

 ber of oval black spots. Usually a widely separated pair of spots on the 

 disk of the pronotum, a larger and adjacent pair on the scutellum and a 

 similar pair on the first three or four abdominal segments. Each elytron 

 may have six spots, three on the costa, two on the claval suture and one 

 on the corium. The first costal spot" is at the base, the other five spots 

 form a square with a central dot; two specimens show traces of fuscous 

 clouds in the apical cells. 



Described from six examples received with the others. 



Empoasca minuenda var. clavigerana, n. var. 



Similar to variety moznettei in form and color but with additional mark- 

 ing forming two dark brown stripes extending from just back of the vertex 

 margin across the pronotum, scutellum and along the inner margin of the 

 elytra. The stripes are narrow and definite on the vertex where they are 

 separated by about their own width, on the pronotum they often widen 

 and rarely fuse, on the scutellum they usually fuse except for a single light 

 spot. In light examples these stripes are often interrupted appearing as 

 elongate spots on vertex and pronotum. 



^ Described from six examples from Miami, Florida. Type distribution 

 of both varieties the same as for the species.
