NO. 1215. REVISION OF THE GENUS TRIMEROTROPIS—McNEILL. 409 



TRIMEROTROPIS PORRECTA, new species. 



Similar to Trim eardrop is tex'ina, but smaller and distinct in the fol- 

 lowing respects: 



Pronotum with the median carina very strongly cristate on the 

 metazone as well as the prozone, in this respect agreeing- well with 

 Connsoa^ on the latter not lobate and hardly perceptildy intersected, 

 in this particular agreeing with Spharagefinan; lateral caringe entirely 

 obsolete; anterior margin strongly angulate; metazone one and a half 

 times as long as the prozone, with its disk rugose with elongate granu- 

 lations, process of the metazone acute angulate, the margins slightly 

 sinuate and tip sharp, Tegmina rather evenly infuscated with dusky 

 annuli in the middle and posterior fields, with a light indefinite stripe 

 along the anal vein; anterior field almost entirely occupied by two 

 broad distinct fuscous bands, each preceded by a small quadrate yel- 

 low spot. Wings as in the preceding species. Posterior femora as in 

 texana. Posterior tibite yellow without a pale annulus. Length of 

 body, male, 18 mm.: length of tegmina, 20 mm.: length of posterior 

 femora, 10 mm. 



One male. California, Koebele, collector. Bruner collection. This 

 species has also been mistaken for Conozoa sulcifrons^ doubtless on 

 account of the uninterrupted crest of the prozone. It does not, how- 

 ever, at all resemble that species, and is a consistent member of the 

 teiic£L7ia group, though it is difficult to determine its nearest relative 

 on account of the peculiar structure of the pronotum. 



MARITIMA group. 



Size, medium or large; color, dull brown, plain or isabelline with no 

 bands on the tegmina, and spots when present showing no tendency to 

 arrange themselves in bands. Scutellum of the vortex about as broad 

 as long, in the males apparently somewhat longer by the inclusion of 

 the median foveolaj; frontal costa distinctly and strongly sulcate 

 above the ocellus, its lateral carinfe often continuous with those of the 

 vertex; eyes about equal (male) or much less (female) than the genal 

 grooves; antennae long but not exceeding the posterior femora even 

 in the male. Pronotum with the median carina slightly cristate on the 

 prozone; disk flat with the shoulders well marked and the lateral 

 carina? not entirely wanting; metazone aliout twice as long as the pro- 

 zone, lateral lobes with the margins well rounded or if a slight tooth 

 is present then plainly sinuate on the anterior half. Tegmina long. 

 Wings with the fuscous band narrow, distincth" less than one-sixth 

 the length of the wings in width. Posterior tibife obscure. 



This group includes three well-marked species, each of which, in 

 addition to characteristics possessed in common with the others which 

 recall Coiwzoa^ varies independently in that direction. Maritima^ for
