A Ue vision or the North American species of PHLiEPSIUS. 



BY EDWARD P. VAN DUZEE. 



Genus Phlepsias includes a series of the Jassidfe distinguished from 

 their allies by having their elytral areoles more or less densely re- 

 ticulated with slender, simple or ramose, brown lines. As a rule 

 they are rather large in size, with stout, rather convex bodies. A 

 head as wide as, or somewhat narrower than the pronotum. The 

 vertex is generally obtusely angled, and from one-fifth to one-third 

 longer on the middle than next the eye; face hexagonal in form, 

 the edge slightly excavated below the eyes ; front intermediate in 

 form between that of Thamnotettix and Athysanvs. Elytral neura- 

 tion simple, like that of Thamnotettix, the reticulations being mere 

 pigment lines, not nervures. 



The head, pronotum and scutellum, are generally variegated, or 

 irrorate with fulvous-brown and i)ale, the colors i)aler and the irro- 

 rations more obscure on the scutellum and anterior margin of the 

 jinmotum. Below the colors are tawny, with fuscous clouds and 

 spots on .some of the pleural and sternal pieces, and the venter is 

 usually irrorate, with a pale median line. Tergum fuscous, with a 

 broad, pale margin. Legs twice banded on the anterior and inter- 

 mediate femora, and with all the tibiae dotted at the base of the 

 spines. Elytra generally whitish, clouded more or less with pale 

 fulvous-brown or testaceous, the colors sometimes arranged in trans- 

 verse bands, where the reticulations will then be segregated ; ner-
