NO. 1215. REVISION OF THE GENUS TRIMEROTROPIS—MGNEIIL. 425 



necessary to transfer Bruner's Hadrotettix to Trimerotropix^ and as 

 gracilis is preoccupied I have g-ivcn it the name of the distinguished 

 author. 



TRIMEROTROPIS FASCICULA, new species. 



In color or size very similar to Ti'bnerotroph hruneri, from which it 

 is distinguished by the following characters: 



Scutellum of the vertex moderatelj'^ sulcate as in that species with 

 lateral carinas quite as distinct but longer and narrower and Avithout a 

 trace of the median carina. Pronotum as in that species with the 

 metazone having the disk furnished with minute linear granulations. 

 Tegmina with the two l)asal bands not so regular and well defined. 

 Wings w4th the fuscous band narrow^er, the spur reaching halfway to 

 the base and the continuation on the posterior border not extending 

 more than half wa}^ to the anal angle. Posterior femora as in that 

 species, but without any red suliusiou and wdth the basal stripe elongate 

 nearly to the base, sometimes the whole inner face is suffused with 

 fuliginous, more or less obscuring the usual markings. A variety has 

 the pronotum scarcely longer than broad with the process of the 

 metazone decidedly obtuse angulate. The wing band is a little broader. 



Length of body, male 18 mm., female 26 mm.; length of tegmina, 

 male 19 mm., female, 26 mm.; length of posterior femora, male 10^ 

 mm., female 14 mm. 



One male and one female, Arizona or New Mexico; one female, 

 Silver City, New Mexico; Bruner collection. 



This species is very closely related to Triinerotvoph lyrunc.vl and may 

 not be specifically different from it. 



TRIMEROTROPIS PR/ECLARA, new species. 



Similar in size and structure to Trbrui-otruplii citrliia, but with the 

 tegmina very distincth' marked, the basal and median bands solid and 

 well defined. 



The scutellum is slightly broader than in that species, with the 

 median carina slight but distinct. The pronotum has the median 

 carina not cristate on the prozone and scarely bilobate when viewed 

 from the side. The tegmina have the fuscous annuli of the apical 

 third for the most ]3art aggregated into a single group, which forms 

 the third band, the basal area within the basal band is suffuscnl with 

 purple or brown with a few darker punctations. The posterior femora 

 have the basal band elongate and extending nearly to the base, the 

 light area being more or less suffused with red, the lower surface is 

 reddish, somewhat obscured with a fuliginous suft'usion and crossed by 

 a single subapical band, the outer face has a single transverse, rather 

 distinct, subapical band. The posterior tibia3 are bright red, with a 

 faint yellowish cloud on the outside near the base. 



Length of body, male 24 mm., female 26 mm.; length of tegmina,
