BRANCH : BIOLOGY OF KANSAS MEMBRACID.^. HI 



its near relative, permutata, is pale yellow. The color of the prothorax 

 may at times be almost black. The dorsal carina is extremely elevated and 

 continues prominent to the tip of the posterior process. 



The metopidium bears a procephalon or anterior horn, which is usually 

 larger at its anterior extremity than where it joins the pronotum. This 

 horn seems to rise obliquely forward from the pronotum for some distance 

 and then turn suddenly forward in a line parallel with the dorsal carina, 

 thus forming a "bump" at the end of the horn. The procephalon is dis- 

 tinctly compressed, and the dorsal carina extends into the procephalon 

 and follows the median line even into the cephalic face. 



On the sides of the prothorax, but so close to the dorsal carnia that 

 they extend over and meet the spots on the opposite side, are two long, 

 slender spots, extending for some distance laterally. This is the character 

 which probably gives the species its name. The posterior process is 

 dark and very acute. The tegmina are entirely dark reddish brown with 

 a smoky translucency. The wings are transparent. The body and pectus 

 dark reddish brown. The tibiae of the prothoracic and mesothoracic legs 

 are dilated; the metathoraeic grooved on its outer side and spined along 

 the two outer edges. 



Described by Buckton as Enche)wpa pvorecta, and by Walker as

This species is a dusky reddish brown, with a procephalon or horn 

 protruding obliquely over the face for a distance about equal to the 

 pronotum, measuring from the suprahumerals posteriorly. The dorsal 

 carina is not greatly elevated, but the lateral carina are distinct and ex- 

 tend from the tip of the procephalon into the posterior process, which 

 is acute. The pronotum is concolorous; the tibiae, as in Enchenopa 

 binotata, are dilated. The tegmina smoky, coriaceous in the costal region 

 and on the basal cells. Pectus dark and eyes light. 



Length, 8 to 9 mm. Described from over 100 specimens. 



Habitat: Colorado; Missouri; Canada; Douglas county, Kansas.
