tucker: collecting insects. 59 



(Tribe Cyllocorini. 

 Orthotylus traxislncens— continued. 



Wings extend beyond the abdomen nearly half their length; unless faded, 



the thickened parts are translucent green, perhaps yellowish along 



costa, and all the veins are suffused with the general color; membranes 



are clear hyaline. 



Abdomen somewhat elongate, less than half as wide as the thorax. The 



last joint of each tarsus, including the claw, is infuscated. 

 Length to tip of wings, 4.5 mm., to end of abdomen, 2.75 mm.; width of 

 thorax, 1.25 mm. Described from a single male specimen collected 

 by the author. 

 Mr. Otto Heidemann considers this specimen "near prasinus Fallen." 

 The description of O. viridicatus Uhl. agrees very closely, the most 

 notable distinction being black membranes of that species. 

 This specimen has remained so long unnamed, and, as authorities gener- 

 ally hesitate to describe and name a species from only one specimen, 

 at least without retaining the specimen for type, I have taken the 

 work on myself in naming and describing it, mainly to avoid listing a 

 species as unknown. The type belongs to the collection of the Uni- 

 versity of Kansas. For the Colorado list. 

 Metatypes. — Four female specimens, collected by F. Rogers, Kansas 

 City, Mo,, May 13 and 20, on trunks of locust trees. In collection of 

 University of Kansas. Those with complete antennas have the joints 

 proportioned as follows: First and second joints as described for 

 type; third and fourth together a little longer than the second, slender, 

 appearing slightly infuscated in certain lights. The head appears 

 wider between the eyes than with the type, and the eyes above and 

 below are not as deep-set; the rostrum fails to reach the middle coxse; 

 the abdomen is as wide as the thorax, and the wing membranes are 

 very slightly dusky, but far from being black in any sense.
