Vertex slightly produced, rather broadly rounded. Width between 

 the eyes one-half greater than length. Pronotum twice as wide as long 

 and decidedly wider than head. Elytra distinctly longer than abdomen. 



Color: Ivory white; face, vertex, pronotum and scutellum, creamy 

 white, the latter with two somewhat darker lines extending across 

 middle from pronotum to apex. Elytra milky white, opaque from base 

 to beyond cross veins, tips smoky. Beneath creamy white, last ventral 

 segment of female with a dark line one-half the way to base from middle 

 of apical portion. Ovipositor yellow. 



Genitalia: Female last ventral segment strongly rounded and 

 slightly emarginate at middle. 



Described from a single female from Covington, Tenn., 

 swept from wild-grape June 18, 1915. By a comparison with 

 the species of the genus this seems so distinct in size and form 

 that I describe it here. Type in author's collection. 



Alebra fumida Gill. 



A single specimen collected July 6 at Clarksville has been 

 referred to this species. The specimen at hand is shorter and 

 more robust than typical individuals of fumida which are from 

 its type locality. It also has a different wing venation, but 

 because of its marked resemblance in general appearance, I 

 hesitate to describe it as a different form until more material is 

 available for study. 



Dikraneura cruentata Gill. 



Four specimens were collected during July. All of these 

 lack color markings except the black lines on the cross veins. 

 The specimens are decidedly smaller and have a different 

 character of the wing from that pictured by Gillette, but no 

 doubt belong here. 



Erythroneura hartii Gill. 



Abundant on apple during July and August. 



Erythroneura rubroscuta Gill. 



One specimen from Clarksville, June 30, 1915. 



Erythroneura comes var. maculata Gill. 



Abundant on sycamore during August and September.
