E. P. VAN DUZEE. 



punctured. Head black ; a broad transverse band covering the apex of the front 

 and the base of the cheeks, about four short arcs on the base of the front, the 

 two uppermost strongly oblique, a spot on the middle of the clypeus. the ocelli, 

 antennae and basal half of the vertex, yellowish white. Pronotum broad and 

 short, longer than the vertex, hind edge feebly concave, sides distinctly carinated, 

 surface transversely wrinkled ; the anterior one-half and the narrow posterior 

 margin pale yellow; tergum dark brown, the segments narrowly edged with 

 greenish white and marked with a triangular yellow spot next the sides, the 

 ultimate blackish, with a broad white apical margin ; disc of the venter with a 

 large whitish cloud; pectoral pieces narrowly edged with pale, tarsi tinged with 

 brown. Elytra becoming paler toward their apex, marked near the tip of the 

 clavus with a common oval white spot, and on the costa by a whitish hyaline 

 vitta, which is deflected at the stigmatal nervure and becomes obsolete at apex 

 of the middle antiapical areole; last ventral segment as long as the three pre- 

 ceding, its hind angle broadly concave with a short, obtuse, median tooth, the 

 prominent lateral angles rounded, basal angles marked by a whitish cloud ; py- 

 gofers short and stout, nearly as long as the oviduct, the scattering apical spines 

 and narrow sutural edge whitish, the latter feebly waved. 



Pennsylvania. Described from a single female example which I 

 owe to the kindness of Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Philadelphia. This 

 remarkably elegant and distinct species has the glossy black and 

 yellowish colors, and the elytral markings, nearly, of Th. dltellarius 

 Say, but the ornamentation of the head and pronotum, and its 

 larger size and broader form will at once distinguish it. The char- 

 acters of the vertex beginning this description are characteristic of 

 this genus, though somewhat modified in most of the species, and 

 with its stout form and broad front will distinguish it from Tham- 

 notettix. I find that, as in Athysanus, some species of Euteitlx have 

 the sides of the pronotum much more distinctly carinated than do 

 others. 



Another large species of this genus of which but a single specimen 

 has as yet come to my notice is so evidently distinct from our other 

 described forms, I venture to describe it here to complete the list of 

 our North American species so far as they are known to me. 



3. Etitettix marinoratiis n. sp.— A little larger and broader than lun- 

 dus; glossy brown, varied with whitish, fulvous and black. Lengtn 6 mm. 



Female: Head and pronotum proportionately about one-tenth wider than in 

 luridus; front nearly as wide as long, in luridns quite distinctly longer: color 

 of the head soiled white : a broad baud across the anterior edge, a line crossing 

 the vertex anteriorly between the ocelli connected with an irregular spot touch- 

 ing the hind edge near each eye, and a faint cloud on the base of the front, 

 fulvous; sutures of the face, a dash below each eye, about seven broken arcs on 

 the front, two dots at the tip of the vertex, its basal margin and impressed me- 

 dian line, piceous; ocelli pale, antennal setae fulvous; disc of the pronotum 

 brown irrorate with jialer and with a white median line; anterior margin ful-
