head, and along- the upper niaruin of tlie lateral lobes of the prono- 

 tuin; on the head, l)ehind the ej'e, it is aeeonipaniod ])\ a narrow, 

 yellowish stripe just above it. Scutelluni with the median carina 

 slight but rather distinct. Pronotuni with the disk of the metazone 

 roughened with rather numerous, short, linear granulations. Poste- 

 rior tibi{\3 ver}' varial)le, either obscure or red with a brownish ba.sal 

 cloud or livid with ti distinct, subbasal, pale annulus, or brown without 

 cloud or annulus. 



One fcniiale (type) {(Edlpoda clncta) Thomas, southeast Colorado, 

 Texas, and New Mexico, 1869, U. S. National Museum; one female, 

 Oolorado; one male, 1 female. Pine Ridge, Nebraska, July (types of 

 Conozoa silvicola Bruner), Bruner collection. 



This species is unique, so far as my experience goes, in having such 

 variable coloring of the tibiw and in the black facial bands. The male 

 from Pine Ridge has red tibia^; the female from the same locality, 

 plain brown ones; the female from Colorado, livid ones with a com- 

 plete ring and the tips with the color obscure, and a l)rown cloud on 

 the outside.

This species is remarkably similar to Trinie7Vt7^opis cincta Thomas, 

 from which it is apparently different in the entire absence of the' black 

 bands of the face and in the broader vertex which in that species is 

 scarcely, in this much more than half the short diameter of the eye.

CAERULEIPES group. 



Species of small or medium size with the ground color generally 

 dark, and when light not much varied with fuscous on the head and 

 pronotum, but with the basal bands of the tegmina present and either 

 semisolid and more or less conspicuous, or if obviously composed of 

 smaller maculations then distinct by reason of their contrasting colors 

 and th(^ thorough segregation of the spots. 



Scutelluni moderately wide but not exceeding the short diameter of 

 the eve even in the male and never wider than long; median carina 

 never entirely absent but frequently indistinct. Pronotum with the
