middle legs more or less distinctly banded with black, posterior femora 

 pale testaceous, paler below and on the inner side, dorsally and on the 

 upper part of the outer face marked by two oblique dark hands, one 

 median and one subapical; hind tibise red, paling somewhat on the 

 basal fourth; spines red at the base, the apical half black. 



Length of body, male, 14 mm*; female, l^-'M) mm.; antenniv, male, 

 7.5 mm.; female, 8 mm.; elytra, male, 11 mm,; female, 15-10 nnn.; 

 hind femoi*a, male, 9 mm.; female, 9.5-10 mm. 



Type. — No. 6600, U.S.N.M. Described from specimens from Colo- 

 rado collected by G. Guanier at Pueblo many years ago. I collected 

 one specimen, a female, at Fort Collins, on August 11, and the U. S. 

 National Museum contains specimens from Douglas County, Kansas, 

 and others labeled " Colorado." 



This species is probably the nearest allied to HeUastns mininms, but 

 the long antennae and the red hind tibia?, together wnth the habitat, 

 will serve to separate them. 



Regarding the posterior tibije of //. minimus, Professor Morse 

 writes me as follows: '"^Hind tibiae of Tleliastiis niinirnvs are luteous — 

 pale yellowish Imff — probably almost ixoyj white in life."

 figs. 1-4. 



Several specimens, mature and immature, at Golden, on popp}- 

 plants in July. Brachypephis virescens Charpenter is very probabl}' 

 a synonym of this species. If such should prove the case, the name 

 vircsce/ix would have preference, being estal)lished several years 

 previous to )iia(jna.
