3 9, New York (Uhler, coll. S. H. Scudder). One specimen 

 badly mutilated, but undoubtedly this species. 



Tettigidea apiculata, sp. nov. 



A sleiuler siiccies. Vertex coiisielerably advanced in front of eves, recallinj;" 

 prorsa, once-and-a-half ((j^) or twice (9) :is wide as an eye, not protuberant above.

 opposite anterior part of eyes; strongly sinuous on face, protuberant opposite eyes, 

 sub-e.\cavate below them. I'ronotuni cuspidate before, subulate behind, considert 

 ably passing the hind femora, the dorsum coarsely and distinctly rugulose e.xcep- 

 on a narrow band over the shoulders and the lateral lobes which are granulose. 

 Median carina distinct, acute (except scarcely so in 9 "'^ aforesaid band). Anterior 

 maigin much produced over head (one-half the distance between lateral carina), 

 nearly rectangular, the sides sinuate, expanded next base and excavate next apex, 

 terminating in a sharp, finely pointed and slightly deflected cusp, which reaches to 

 the posterior end of the carina of the vertex. Wings passing the pronotum. Hind

The University of California Entomological Society has under- 

 taken a curious venture. It issuing from Berkeley, Cal., a Cali- 

 fornian journal of entomology, titled "The Entomologists Daily 

 Post Card" at $2.00 a year. A card of regulation size and color 

 is printed on both sides in clear type, leaving a meagre space for 

 an address. Wm. B.
