118 Ball — Neiu Horn opt era from the SmitJi and Southwest. 



Described from four females labeled " Bill Williams Fork, Ariz., F. H. 

 Snow," and received from Prof. Snow with a number of other fine Homop- 

 tera from this same region. 



Scolopsella gen. nov. 



Type — S. reticulata Ball. 



Resembling Scolops but more elongate; ce])halic process stouter and 

 slightly apically enlarged. Dorsal and lateral carinae irregular ; lateral 

 carinae of the inner tablet of pronotum forked. Elytra long, slender, 

 coarsely reticulate, anal area of corium obliquely emarginate. 



In general characters this is no doubt a Dictyopharid genus but in the 

 venation and slope of the elytra it suggests Cyrpoptus of the Fulgorids. 



Scolopsella reticulata sp. nov. 



Resembling a inacro])terous specimen of Scolops but with still longer 

 elytra and a broader, more sculptured cephalic protuberance. Length, 

 17 mm. ; length of horn, 4 mm. 



Vertex and front extending into a long stout horn as wide as the vertex 

 until just before the apex when it widens out into a slightly upturned, 

 spoon-shaped lobe. Lateral carinae of vertex and front extending along 

 the horn where they are irregularly crenated and curved. Inner carinae 

 of front continuing straight and simple and forming the margin of the 

 apex. Pronotum nearly truncate posteriorly, central table widening pos- 

 teriorly, tricarinate, the lateral carinae indented before the middle and 

 forking, the outer fork extending down onto the sloping lateral tablet. 

 Scutellum with a distinct median carina a pair of feeble divergent lateral 

 ones near posterior margin. Elytra long and very narrow, venation as in 

 a Scolops, at the base the veins often abruptly forking and continuing almost 

 parallel everywhere even on clavus. The veins are tied together by 

 numerous irregular reticulations. Inner margin of corium slightly con- 

 cavely excavated. 



Described from a single specimen received from Prof. F. H. Snow and 

 collected by him at Congress Junction, Ariz., in July. This is such a 

 unique and readily recognizable form that it seems best to describe it from 

 a single specimen and thus make it available to other workers. 



Megamelanus elongatus sp. nov. 



Much longer and narrower in general appearance than bicolor, super- 

 ficially resembling a Kelisia with a long pointed vertex. Vertex much 

 longer than in bicolor. Length, 3.7 mm. 



Vertex rather broad at base, portion between eyes about square, face 

 and vertex extending in front of eyes as an acutely pointed pyramid 

 longer than the long diameter of the eye ; all carinae sharp and distinct, a 

 trace of a single median carinae on posterior half of vertex. Pronotum 

 long, tricarinate, the outer carinae parallel and continuing to posterior 

 margin. Scutellum tricarinate, the carinae parallel and closer together 

 than on the pronotum. Elytra long, narrow, venation simple regular.
