NO. 2041. THE INSECT FAMILY DELPHACIDAE— CRAWFORD. 569 



5-carinate. Elytra large, often maculate, with a large black stigma 

 between corium and membrane in front. Legs long; calcar very 

 long, slender, triangular-prismatic, slightly pubescent, acute at tip; 

 hind tibije with four lateral spines. 



Type of genus. — Eucanyra stigmata, new species. 



This genus is easily distinguishable by the large size and entire 

 eyes, the terete antennae, and stigmatic elytra.

Length of body, 3.4 mm.; length of elytra, 6.6; width of vertex, 

 0.26; width of frons, 0.60; antennae, I, 0.65; II, 0.97. General color 

 brown, usually dark, more or less variegated with yellowish brown on 

 pleura. Body very large. 



Head quite large, broad, carinas very conspicuous; vertex narrow 

 between eyes; frons long, narrowed above, broadest at apex; clyp- 

 eus long; eyes very large, prominent; antenna long, II about one

Thorax large, robust; pronotum short, especially so behind eyes, 

 lateral carina flexed out behind eyes and extending nearly to hind 

 margin; scutellum broad, long. Hind legs very long; calcar elon- 

 gate. Elytra large, broad, somewhat coriaceous, rounded at apex,

Type-specimen — In collection of Pomona College. 



Genus EPIBIDIS FoAArler, 

 This genus was described by Fowler as follows: 



Body somewhat elongate, subparallel, with vertex narrow, diBtinctly longer than 

 broad and produced in front of eyes (anterior margin viewed from above seems to be 

 notched); forehead and clypeus long and narrow, broadest about the middle, cari- 

 nate and plainly margined; antennae elongate, with first joint long and smooth, 

 second scarcely longer than first, asperate, with warty, white excrescences and very 

 short and strong thick setse; last joint setiform, longer than I and II together; pro- 

 notum obtusely produced between the eyes, carinate. Scutellum large, three times 

 as long as pronotum, 5-carinate. Elytra rather long, veins rather fine, more or less 

 strongly granulate, claval vein not reaching apex of clavus, but joining suture before 

 it. Legs long, posterior tibiae with 4 or 5 spines, 1 near the base. 

 Type of genus. — EpiUdis godmani Fowler. 



This genus, according to Fowler, comes near Bidis Walker (Hygyops 

 and Ugyops). The new genus Eucanyra is rather closely related to
