Chlorotettix sp. 



The species referred to here has been in manuscript for 

 almost a year and has been submitted for publication. I will 

 not give the name here as I do not wish to make it a manuscript 

 species. 



Alebra albostriella var fulveola (H. S.). 



Several specimens were collected during June and July at 

 Covington, Colliersville and Clarksville, Tenn. 



Alebra albostriella var. rubrafrons n. var. 



Resembling var. fulveola in form and size but with darker color and 

 face and vertex bright red. Length, 4 mm. 



In stn.ictural characters this form is closely related to albostriella. 

 The head is not produced and broadly rounded. The comparative 

 width between the eyes is slightly less and the posterior margin of the 

 vertex is more emarginate, almost angtdarly excavated in some spec- 

 imens. The wing venation is also different. 



Color: Deep orange yellow, darker than in fulveola. Clypeus, frons, 

 face and vertex densely and almost uniformly bright, cardinal red; 

 ocelli and rudiments of the arcs on the front pale. Scutellum with basal 

 angles light, the remainder often flecked with red and the apical margin 

 always red. Elytra with apical portion smoky sub-hyaline. 



Male pygofers more inflated than in fulveola. 



These characters are constant and distinct in the five male 

 specimens at hand, which were collected at Clarksville, July 11, 

 1917, while sweeping small shrubs in an open woodland at the 

 Experiment Farm. The ranking of this form will depend entirely 

 upon the possibility for variation in the wing venation and how 

 much emphasis should be placed upon this character, for the 

 venation here is different from albostriella and its other varieties. 



Alebra bicincta n. sp. 



Resembling albostriella in form and size but with two brown cross 

 bands extending across elytra. Length, 4 mm. 



Head broadly rounded, not produced, almost parallel margined 

 with anterior margin of pronotum. Venation of wings slightly different 

 from albostriella. 



Color: Milky white tinged with yellow. Face, disc of pronotum, 

 basal angles of scutellum, and sutural margins of the wing washed Avith 

 yellow. Two rather broad transverse bands extending across elytra, 

 dark brown or fuscous. The anterior of these is just behind the apex of 

 scutellum and extends obliquely to the costal margin; the posterior one 

 covers the entire apical portion to a little anterior of the cross veins. 

 Beneath pale yellow, ovipositor dark fuscous.
