Phlepsius carolinus Lthr. 



This species was recently described from a single female 

 collected in South Carolina. During the past season I have 

 been able to collect great numbers of both sexes in Tennessee 

 and am describing the male genitalia here. 



Male valve almost as long as last ventral seginent, gradually and 

 evenly sloping from lateral margins to obtusely angled apex. Plates 

 almost as broad as valve at base and three times its length, very slightly 

 concavely narrowed to rather broad, blunt and well rounded apices; 

 outer margins set with about six large dark spines and very densely 

 clotlTjCd with fine white hairs at basal lateral margins. 



Phlepsius altus O. & B. 



Abundant on short vegetation in open fields during August. 



Phlepsius slossoni Ball. 



Two specimens were collected by Mr. Crumb, October 8 

 and November 2 at Clarksville. 



Dorydiella floridana Bak. 



Two specimens from Clarksville, August 2, IV) 15. and 

 September 3, 1914, were swept from tall grasses by Mr. Crumb. 



Thamnotettix morsei Osb. 



One specimen from Clarksville, October 11, 191G, by Mr. 

 Crumb, and one collected at Elkmont, Tenn., September 27, 

 by Mr. W. B. Cartright. 



Thamnotettix proprius n. sp. 



Resembling shermani and the other members of this group in general 

 appearance, but with head narrower and more strongly produced, wing 

 venation, coloration and genitalia distinct. Length, 4.5 mm. 



Vertex angularly produced, as long as width between the eyes, twice 

 as long at middle as next the eyes, slightly shorter than pronotum which 

 is almost twice as wide as long. Elytra with the antiapical cells, espe- 

 cially the iniddle one and the cell just anterior to it, short. Two cross 

 veins are found between the first and second sectors. Antennae four 

 and one-half times as long as vertex. 



Color: Creamy white to light fuscous. Face with a heavy band 

 just below margin of vertex, a pair of arcs beneath this, a spot next 

 cither eye, and one below each antenna, black. Vertex with a black 

 band composed of three narrowly connected triangular spots either side 

 of apex, interrupted on the middle line. A large ochraceous blotch 

 either side of middle ari.ses behind this and extends to pronotum which 

 is crossed with five longitudinal white vittae. Basal angles of scutellum
