23. GYPONA GRISEA Spingberg. 



Gypona grisea SpAngberg, K. Svenska "Vet. Akad. Handl., vol. 5, No. 3, p. 64, 



1878. 



The identity of this species should not be at all confused, being 

 very distinct from all other species. It is one of the largest species 

 in the genus, measuring about 12 mm. long and is comparatively 

 broad. The two dried specimens examined would indicate that 

 live individuals have a decided brown appearance. The entire 

 dorsal surface is finely flaked with red. The vertex is broadly 

 rounding and but little produced. Veins of the elytra are margined 

 with minute punctures. 



The only available records of capture are from Georgia and North 

 Carolina, 



24. GYPONA CURIATA, new speciea. 



The vertex is short, only slightly produced, anterior margin rather 

 thick and rounding, striations transverse, OcelU comparatively 

 large and placed midway between median Hne of vertex and eyes. 

 Pronotum not quite three times as long as vertex, with transverse 

 striations and numerous minute dark colored punctures on posterior 

 two-thirds. Scutellum with striations but lacking punctations. 

 Elytra semi-transparent, with base of clavus black, veins sometimes 

 with faint irregular markings in cells, veins prominently bordered 

 with minute punctations. Female segment, nearly truncate, only 

 shallowly sinuate if at all. Size, female, 8.5 mm. long. 



Color, dried specimens are a light brown, live specimens would 

 probably be yellowish brown, certainly a brownish species. 



Type. — Female, allotype, male, Arizona. (Collection of U. S. 

 National Museum, P. R. Uhler.) Cat. No. 21885. 



Paratypes. — 1 female, same as type. 2 males, Arizona, collected 

 by Morrison. (Collection of U. S. National Museum.) 5 females and 

 a male, Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, collected by H. G. Barber.

25. GYPONA NEGOTIOSA. new species. 



Tlie vertex of this species is nearly one-half as long as width between 

 the eyes, anterior margin thin, prominently depressed beneath margin 

 and also behind margin on vertex. Vertex somewhat produced and 

 angulate. Ocelli comparatively small and nearer the median line 

 of vertex than eyes and midway between anterior and posterior 

 borders. A black spot on posterior border of vertex just outside 

 each ocellus. Four dark spots on anterior border of pronotum, one 

 behind each spot of vertex and one in each anterior lateral angle. 

 Base of clavus darkened. Female segment bisinuate with a small 

 notch at middle of central lobe. Elytra with the four prominent 

 spots as in pectoralis Spangberg and also with numerous smaller
