includes records for other forms and the insect does not range 

 from New Jersey to Colorado. Specimens have been examined 

 from Arizona, Mexico and Central America. Champion gives 

 a good figure oi fuscigera in the Biologia Centrali- Americana 

 and it is not readily compounded with other species. 



Monanthia (?) necopina, new species. 



Pronotum coarsely punctate, tricarinate, the carinas rather thick 

 and parallel, each with a single series of very small areolae. Median 

 carina raised in front, forming a small rather flat hood, the lateral 

 carinas ending anteriorly at the base of this hood. Paranota narrow, 

 long, composed of mostly three rows of very small areolee. Bucculee 

 closed in front. Head with five rather slender, moderately long spines. 

 Antennse rather stout, long; first segment thicker and a little longer 

 than the second; third segment a little thinner than the second, a little 

 more than two and a half times the length of the fourth; fourth seg- 

 ment slightly enlarged towards the apex. Antenniferous tubercles 

 moderately large. Rostral groove uninterrupted, the rostrum extending 

 slightly beyond the mesometastemal suture. Legs rather stout. Elytra 

 extending beyond the apex of the abdomen, the areolas very small; dis- 

 coidal area marked off with strongly raised nervures, very long, reaching 

 almost to the apex of the abdomen (about three-fourths of the total 

 length of the elytra) ; costal area almost entirely triseriate ; subcostal area 

 with from two to three rows of areolae, the areolas of costal, subcostal 

 and discoidal areas about equal in size ; sutural area with the inner and 

 distal cells becoming a little larger. Length, 3.1 mm.; width, L23 mm. 



Color : General color light yellowish brown with a few of the veinlets 

 brown or fuscous. Body beneath reddish brown, the thorax, coxae, 

 trochanters and femora darker. Tarsi and rostral laminae tinged with 

 yellowish. Head and prothorax on each side of the hood in front black, 

 the spines on the head whitish. Antennas with the basal and second 

 segments dark brown, the third segment light brown and the fourth 

 blackish. 



One specimen, bearing the labels Bladensburg, Md., July 27, 

 1890, and P. R. Uhler Collection. The insect is so very distinct 

 from any described North American tingid that I feel entirely 

 safe in describing the species from a single specimen. The 

 species does not seem to be congeneric with the American 

 species of the genus Monanthia and I will take up its generic 

 position in a subsequent paper. 



Leptoypha ilicis, new species. 



Small, narrowly oblong, slightly constricted at the base and near 

 the apex of the elytra, and a little narrowed behind. Surface coarsely 

 punctured. Pronotum with median carina fairly distinct, the lateral
