Telamonanthe modesta (Goding). 



Telamoim modesta Goding, Bui. III. St. Lab. Nat. Hist., iii, p. 420, 1894. 



The original description follows: 



Head triangular, hairy; ocelli nearer to each other than to the eyes. 

 Prothorax broad, convex in front, gradually elevated back of lateral angles in 

 a very high, much compressed, crest, the upper and anterior edges continuously 

 curved to base of prothorax; posterior superior angle rectangular, posterior 

 edge straight, inclined forward somewhat; posterior process long, depressed, 

 acuminate, gradually attenuated to apex; sordid greenish yellow covered with 

 black punctures, hairy, two black impressed dots over each eye, one above the 

 other; base of posterior process and posterior edge of crest more or less free 

 from black punctures. Tegmina with basal half of corium punctured, sub- 

 transparent. Legs triquetrous, tibiae punctured with black, covered with 

 spines. Abdomen and chest greenish-yellow. 



Length. 8 mm.; breadth 4 mm.; altitude, 5 mm. 



Habitat : Galesburg, 111. 



Distribution. Types from Illinois. There is a specimen in the 

 Snow collection from Kansas City, Mo., so the species undoubtedly 

 occurs in Kansas. 



Hosts. Unknown. 



Genus Archasia Stal. 



The members of this genus are at once recognized by the broad, 

 leaflike and compressed expansion of the pronotum. 



Van Duzee separates the two species occurring in Kansas by the 

 following key: 



* KEY TO SPECIES. 



A. Dorsal edge distinctly brown or fuscous, the contour obviously concave 

 before the apex. belfragei. 



AA. Dorsal edge concolorous or faintly dotted with brown, contour scarcely 

 if at all concave before the apex. galeata. 



Archasia belfragei Stal.

 Archasia canadensis Piovancher, Pet. Faune Ent. Can., iii, p. 230, 1889. 



Funkhouser gives the following technical description: 



Green, fading to yellowish in cabinet specimens; pronotum high, strongly 

 foliaceous, dorsal margin brown; tegmina about half concealed by pronotum; 

 posterior process not reaching apices of tegmina. 



Head nearly twice as wide as long, smooth, sparingly' pubescent; base high 

 and sinuate; eyes very prominent, shining dark brown; ocelh pearly, promi- 

 nent, nearer to each other than to the eyes.
