Tibicen arizona (Davis). 



When the original description of this species was published in this 

 Journal for March, 1916, only males had been examined, all col- 

 lected by Prof. F. H. Snow in the Santa Rita Mts., Arizona. Since 

 then a female collected by Prof. Snow at the same place and time 

 has come to hand. It is like the males in general color and mark- 

 ings. It expands 54 millimeters; length of body 17 millimeters; last 

 ventral segment with the shallow notch broadly open and its sides 

 slightly sinuate. In the allied species castanca, the notch is broadly 

 open, but is double. 



Several specimens of a species closely resembling arizona, from 

 Cuernavaca, about 40 miles south of Mexico City. Mexico, have been 

 examined. One bears a label reading " Selymbria modcsta Dist.," 

 with '■' (Uhl) " in the lower left-hand corner. Distant's modesta, 

 now placed in the genus Ollanta, has the '" tympanal coverings large, 

 their apices subacute anteriorly but not interiorly covering cavities.'' 

 In arizona and tlie species from Cuernavaca, the tympana completely 

 cover the cavities.
