 upon the head to the eyes, humeral angles distinctly carinate, 

 appreciably angulate, posterior lateral carins; prominent; pos- 

 terior inferior angles of the lateral lobes obtusely angulate, 

 the inferior sinus quite deep, the superior sinus shallow. 

 Elytra quite large, punctate, elli|jtical, obtuse at the apex. 

 Wings fully explicate. Anterior and middle femora entire; 

 posterior femora quite stout; first article of posterior tarsi 

 equal in length to the second and third combined, the first

APOTETTIX BREVIPENNIS, FORM NEW. 



Body compact, brachypterous, fusco-variegated. Vertex 

 nearly twice the breadth of one of the eyes, the subtruncate 

 anterior border advanced about as far as the anterior margin 

 of the eyes; mid-carina distinct between the anterior half of 

 the eyes, and here on each side the vertex is concaved. 

 Viewed in profile the frontal costa scarcely convex and con- 

 siderably advanced before the eyes, viewed in front moderately 

 and evenly furcate. Eyes small, globose. Antenna; stout, a 

 little compressed. Pronotum anteriorly truncate, broad 

 between the shoulders, posteriorly abbreviated, sides of the 

 apical process straight, the apex obtuse; dorsum scarcely 

 tectiform, rugose-granulate; median carina distinct, i^ercur- 

 rent, but more prominently elevated in front of the shoulders; 

 humeral angles distinctly angulate-carinate, posterior lateral 

 carina prominent. Posterior inferior angle of the lateral 

 lobes obtuse, the inferior sinus deep, the superior sinus shal- 

 low. Elytra rather small, granulate punctate; wings barely 

 reach beyond the apical process and not quite so far as the
