120 Ball — Neir Horn ojytera from the Sovth and Soutliwest. 



produced. Venation similar to reflexus, obscure on the disc, the ante- 

 apical cells very short. 



Color pale creamy yellow, vertex, pronotum and scutellum marked as in 

 alhidus, the six stripes continuing onto the elytra, the inner pair parallel, 

 the outer pairs converging and meeting the inner pair at apex of clavus. 

 On the corium most of the veins are light, narrowly margined with fus- 

 cous, the rellexed veins broadly light, narrowly margined anteriorly with 

 fuscous, the enclosed cells tinged with tawny. Pygofers with two stripes 

 above and a pair of spots on tlie sides. Face pale ; the upper half, a large 

 round spot on clyi)eus and a dot at the outer corner of each lore black. 

 The black above breaks up into about five stripes which, with the excep- 

 tion of the upper one, do not meet in the middle. 



Genitalia : Female segment verj' long, posterior margin divided into 

 three nearly equal parts by two cuts extending half way to the base, the 

 outer lobes slightly obliquely rounding away from the inner one ; inner 

 one slightly longer than the others, but little narrowed before the bluntly 

 rounding tip. The tip is black and has an acute median notch. 



Described from one female collected at Biscayne Bay, Fla., by Mrs. 

 Slosson. This is but one of the many fine things that have been received 

 from this same source and the name is but a slight recognition of the debt 

 that workers in Homoptera owe her for her assistance in connecting up the 

 fauna of this country with that of the more tropical regions. It is such a 

 distinct and easily lecognized species that there can be no question of 

 determination though founded on a single specimen. 



Deltocephalus littoraiis sp. nov. 



Closely resembling coUinus in general appearance but slightly longer, 

 with a broader vertex and a much wider front. Pale green. Length of 

 female, 4.45 mm.; male, 3.5 mm. 



Vertex broad, slightly concave in the center, al)Out right-angled in front ; 

 twice longer on middle than against eye. Vertex and front meeting in an 

 acute angle, the margin slightly rounded. Front very broad and full, 

 almost parallel margined and then suddenly rounding to the clypeus. 

 Elytra shorter than the abdomen in the female, longer in the male. Ven- 

 ation rather weak, resembling that of melsJieimm but with a double cross- 

 nervure between the sectors at the base. 



Color pale green, vertex and pronotum sometimes almost straw color, 

 ocelli black, front brown with light arcs and a light median line. 



Genitalia : Female segment long, lateral margins short, then convexly 

 rounding to a long triangular point on the posterior margin. Just before 

 the apex the point is abruptly narrowed into a semi-circular tooth. From 

 behind the lateral margins there projects a pair of strap-like membranes 

 with rounding tips. Pygofers long and narrow, somewhat exceeded by 

 the ovipositor. Male valve small, semi-circular; plates together aculely 

 triangular, three times as long as the valve, the lateral margins slightly 

 concave, a pair of dark spots near the base. 



Described from four specimens taken at Cape May and Anglesea, 

 N. J., August 19-23, 1902, by Mr. E. P. Van Duzee.
