PAGARONIA FURCATA, new species 



Plate 5, Figs. 2-2B 



Superficially resembling 13-punctata Ball but larger, more robust, 

 and with much broader male plates. Length 8.75-10 mm. 



General ground color pale green to greenish white. Black spots 

 on head and pronotum as in 13-punctata but frequently with an addi- 

 tional spot below each ocellus and a spot on the median line of the 

 pronotum anteriorly. Fore wrings with veins whitish subhyaline; 

 cells orange in the males, pale yellow or pale sordid yellow in the 

 females. Hind wings subliyaline. 



Head pointed but not so distinctly so as in 13-punetata. Posterior 

 margin of seventh sternite of female slightly produced and un- 

 notched. Male plates much broader basally than in 13-punctata^ 

 broadened still more near base, and tapering to bluntly rounded tips, 

 the posterior two-thirds set w^ith numerous setae. 



Male pygofer without processes. Aedeagus long and slender, the 

 portion carrying ejaculatory duct curving dorsad posteriorly and 

 ending in a pair of slender, pointed processes which extend on 

 beyond tip of aedeagus. 



Type locality. — Cold Springs, Sequoia National Forest, Calif. 



r?/;?e5.— U.S"^N.M. no. 52221. 



Reniarhs. — The type series consists of the holotype male, allotype 

 female, and 11 male and 10 female paratypes taken at the type local- 

 ity by the writer and Mrs. Oman, June 10, 1935. 



FRISCANUS, new genus 



Intermediate in character between Pagaronia Ball and Errhomus^ 

 new genus; differing from the former in havinof shorter wnngs and no 

 spinelike setae in the pecten of the hind basitarsus, and from the 

 latter in the character of the surface of the crown, which has nu- 

 merous fine, longitudinal striae. 



Head, including eyes, slightly narrower than pronotum; crown 

 nearly flat, median length greater than length of pronotum. Pro- 

 notum rather short and broad; lateral margins carinate. Scutellum 

 small. Fore wrings subcoriaceous and rather short, not reaching to 

 tip of abdomen, lacking appendices; venation variable. Hind wings 

 short, reaching fifth or sixth abdominal segment. Pecten of hind 

 basitarsus consisting of five setae of nearly uniform size, none of 

 •which are spinelike. Sexual dimorphism apparent.
