nirvisTox OF THE (U-:xrs tjumi:i:()Ti:<ipis—m<m:ili.. 44^ 



are more or less distinctly banded on the outer face with fuscous. The 

 posterior tibia' are steel-blue with a light su])basal and a fuscous l)asal 

 ring. 



Length of bodv, male, 22 nun., female. 27 nnn.; lenotli of teo-- 

 inina, male, 23 mm., female, 2i) nun.; length of posterior fiMuora 

 male, 11 mm., female, 13 mm. 



One male, Hot Springs, New Mexico, 7,000 feet altitude; Bruner 

 collection. 



The species is closely related to Trhne^'otropisfalhix Saussure, from 

 which it is readily distinguished ])y the distinct bands of the tegmina 

 and the obtuse-angled process of the metazone. 



TRIMEROTROPIS CONSPERSA, new species. 



Very closeij^ related to Trimerotropis fallax^ from which it may not 

 lie specifically distinct. Scutellum of the vertex somewhat narrower 

 tlian in that species, being fully one and a half times as long as broad 

 and deeply sulcate, with the median carina distinct. Wings somewhat 

 longer, being very nearh" twice as long as broad, with the disk faintly 

 tinged with very pale citron instead of greenish yellow. Hind tibiae 

 obscure yellow or red, without any distinct pale subbasal annulus. 



Length of body, male, 25 mm., female, 28 mm.; length of tegmina, 

 male, 25 mm., female, 30 nun.; length of posterior femora, male, 

 13 nun. . female, 14 mm. 



One male. Mount Shasta, California, Septeml)er, 1885, J. Behrens, 

 collector. One female, Shasta County, California, July, J. Behrens, 

 collector. Bruner collection. 



TRIMEROTROPIS VARIEGATA. new species. 



This species isclosel}^ related to Trirnerotropis con.Kpers<i iv<m\v;\\u'h, 

 however, it is readih-^ distinguished. Scutellum somewhat narrower 

 than in the preceding species, being nearly twice as long (not including 

 the central foveola^) as broad, dully sulcate, with the median carina dis- 

 tinct. Pronotum with the anterior lobe of the carina of the prozone 

 very little longer than the posterior; m(>tazone plainly less than twice 

 and scarce^ one and three-quarter times as long as the prozone, with its 

 process strongly obtu-e-angulate, the sides straight, and the tip slightly 

 rounded. Tegmina with tlie usual amudar spots plaiidy collected into 

 three groups, the basal one quite distinct and the apical very indistinct; 

 nearly all the middle beyond the anterior cubital fork hyaline except 

 for the veins and spots. Wing considerably less than twice as long 

 as broad (26 by 15 mm.), with the disk very faint yellow, the fuscous 

 band with a spur extending nmch more than halfway to the base and 

 including less than five lobes on the exterior margin and reaching 

 much less than halfway to the base; apical third hyaline except for 

 th(» fuscous veins and an apictd fuliginous cloud.
