March, I9I5-] Van Duzee : West Coast Cicadid.e. 29 



broadly lanceolate and subacute at apex, its width about half the 

 leng-th. 



6. Fiatypedia apeita new species. 



A little larger than minor (about i6 nun. to tip of abdomen), with the 

 elytral venation black and the inner margin of the second ulnar areola more 

 rectilinear, scarcely more angled than in areolata. Here the last ventral 

 segment is broadly triangularly excavated in the female and in the male broad 

 at the slightly sinuated apex, the male valve is distinctly widened to its 

 rounded apex, and the uncus is broad ovate, nearly as broad as long, with its 

 apex subacute. 



Described from seven males and two females taken by me at 

 Alpine, June 8, 1913, and June 6, 1914, and one male from San Diego 

 city, taken May 20, 1913. 



7. Platypedia ampliata new species. 



A little larger and less hairy than minor with much wider elytra, their 

 costa obviously angled beyond the middle of the costal areole. Black, clothed 

 with long blackish hairs which become grey beneath and on either side of the 

 mesonotal X. Length 16 mm., expanse 38 mm. 



Front strongly produced, the median sulcus deep ; supra-antennal plates 

 large and well rounded, when viewed from before expanded and depressed 

 against the front. Humeral angles large and subquadrate, the pronotal sides 

 anteriorly much depressed and nearly straight, a very little expanded behind 

 the eye. Meracanthi long and pointed, reaching just behind the hind coxae. 

 Last ventral segment of the male narrow and rounded at apex ; valve moder- 

 ately long and expanded at base ; uncus lanceolate with the slender point up- 

 turned and attaining the apex of the valve. Last ventral segment of the 

 female with a narrow subacute incision reaching nearly to its base. Elytra 

 remarkably broad (9 by 18 mm.) ; basal areole small, narrow, scarcely angled 

 at apex; costal areole broad (2 by gyi mm.) ; marginal very narrow, scarcely 

 wider than the bounding ner\-ures ; second ulnar little longer than broad (2^2 

 by 3 mm.), the inner (posterior) side angled close to the apex; apical areoles 

 seven, the first and second as usually found in this genus, being united in 

 one. Wing appendix rounded at apex. 



Color black ; supra antennal plates, a small dot at the base of the vertex 

 continued as a median line on the pronotum which does not reach the hind 

 margin, narrow hind edge of the pronotum ; sides of the mesonotal X pos- 

 teriorly, elytral nervures except close to their base, depressed sides of the 

 pronotum and legs in part, pale. 



Described from one male, without locality, in the collection of the 

 University of California, and two females from Mary's River,
