stigma scarcely distinct. Basal joints of antennae close together, a transverse 

 depression on middle of vertex ; protliorax short and broad, a transverse furrow 

 beyond the middle; fore wings moderately broad, scarcely pointed at tip, hind 

 pair narrower and more acute at tip: the third cubital cell plainly wider at tip 

 than base, no longer than second, its divisory veinlet ending about half-way to 

 tip, but beyond the connecting veinlet to the radius, six cross-veins in the series 

 beyond third cubital cell. Expanse 34 mm. 



One specimen, San Bernardino, California, July (Morse). 



Clirysopa awsiiniliM n. sp.— Green : head reddish yellow, a red-brown 

 or black crescent under each antennae and a spot between their bases, from the 

 crescent there extends a little line to the black stripe on the cheek, above are two 

 dots above base of antennae, and two dots on vertex, forming a square with the 

 others (but no dots behind the eyes as in C. oculata) ; antennae pale, a black ring 

 on second joint and a red mark above on basal joint; prothorax green, wifh a 

 black spot on the anterior side-margin ; thorax and abdomen green ; legs pale 

 greenish ; wings greenish, veins green, the costals black at each end, the gradate 

 veinlets mostly black, a few postcubital cross-veins at base black, and many of 

 the other cross-veinlets black at one or both ends, pterostigma green. Basal 

 joints of antennae close together, vertex smooth, shining, prothorax narrowed in 

 front: wings short and broad, fore pair rounded at tip, hind pair slightly acute, 

 third cubital cell scarcely as long as second, broader at tip than base, the divisory 

 veinlet ending beyond the middle and beyond the veinlet connecting to the 

 radius, four or five cross-veins in series beyond the third cubital cell. Expanse 

 27 mm.

Diifers from C vicina in slightly larger size, paler head, spots
