 as one-half the length of the pronotum, with anterior margin thick 

 and broadly rounding. Ocelli comparatively large and situated 

 midway between median line of vertex and eyes and somewhat 

 nearer the anterior than posterior border. Striations of pronotum 

 prominent. Elytra with base of clavus darkened and with four 

 small black spots more or less prominent. Elytra opaque, inner 

 margin beyond clavus clouded with brown. Hind wings light 

 colored but opaque. Female segment produced at the middle and 

 with a small notch. Size, female, 9 mm. long. 



Color, yellow or yellowish brown or orange, much the same as 

 citrina Sp&ngberg. Vertex and scutellum distinctly yellow to yellow- 

 ish green. Pronotum, especially posterior half, orange or light 

 brown. Entirely light beneath.

15. GYPONA OCCLUSA, new species.

 eyes. Pronotum prominently striated and marked with a small 

 black spot near anterior border behind each ocellus. Elytra with 

 base of clavus darkened and with a broad appendix. Female 

 segment slightly produced at the middle and prominently sinuate on 

 each side. Size, female, 7 mm. long. About the smallest species 

 in the United States. Comparatively narrow for its length.

 appearance as citrina Sp&ngberg in color. Probably yellowish green 

 when alive. Elytra shiny and not as opaque as in citrina Spangberg 

 or cacozela Gibson.
