with a somewhat regular series of three rows of punctures, bounded by three 

 other rows of subclaval punctures, the two outer rows anteriorly converging 

 and not reaching the base of the corium ; along the apical margin of corium is 

 a single row of impressed punctures ; the surface is more closely and irregularly 

 punctured exterior to the middle vein and apically. Membrane smoky-brown, 

 castaneous at base with four or five indistinct, basally sinuated nervures which 

 are sometimes paler than the general surface. Pleural pieces dark shining 

 castaneous, non-pubescent, for the most part coarsely punctate ; surface near 

 coxse, margins and acute posterior angles of metastcrnum impunctate. Legs 

 pale ; coxae, apices of the femora and of the tibiae castaneous. The fore femora 

 incrassate and armed beneath with two rows of spines, the inner row begin- 

 ning a short distance before base with a few small teeth becoming more closely 

 placed and a little longer on the apical half with two more enlarged teeth, one 

 post median and the other a short distance beyond it ; the outer row of teeth 

 begins with a small median tooth and followed by the most prominent one of 

 all, between this and apex are a number of small teeth. Venter shining cas- 

 taneous, somewhat paler than the sternum, impunctate, transversely and 

 minutely wrinkled and provided with a very few fine hairs posteriorly and on 

 the genital segment which is infuscated. Length (^ and 5. 7 "im- 



Described from two males and two females in the collection of 

 Mr. Nathan Banks, from Stanford University, California, and a 

 female in the collection of the Brooklyn Musetmi collected at Browns- 

 ville, Texas, by Mr. Carl Schaeffer. This latter specimen differs 

 from the others in being paler and less shining. 



Scolopocerus granulosus new species. 



Color and form similar to 5". secundarius Uhl. Dirty testaceous, roughly 

 punctured and granulated and marked with fuscous. Narrow-ovate in shape. 

 Head quadrate, roughly granulated, and provided with a few scattered blunt 

 tubercles. Blunt apex of tylus extending slightly beyond the antenniferouj 

 tubercles. Lateral margins of head before eyes somewhat diverging to apex of 

 blunt non-prominent antenniferous tubercles. Two short, black obliquely set 

 spines behind each eye. The ocelli are placed about twice as far apart as they 

 are removed from the eyes. Somewhat paler beneath, roughly granulated and 

 punctured. Bucculae about one half the length of the head. First joint of 

 rostrum not reaching base of head. Apex of rostrum and sternal groove 

 reaching only to middle of intermediate coxae. First and second joints of the 

 rostrum about equal in length, the fourth joint slightly longer than the third. 

 First and fourth joint of the antennae incrassate, the former roughly granular 

 and concolorous with the head, the latter pyriform, black on granular hirsute 

 basal half; second and third joints much more slender, of equal diameter but 

 the second one third shorter than the third, fourth joint a trifle shorter than 

 third, first and third subequal ; apical half of fourth joint clothed with fine, 

 closely appressed gray pubescence and provided with a few scattered longer 

 hairs. Pronotum longer than wide, concolorous. Lateral margins almost
