joint of the antennae. Head but little exserted and narrowing rather sharply 

 behind the eyes. Antenna' piceous with apex of third joint and fourth infus- 

 cated ; the second joint one third longer than third, fourth three fourths as 

 long as third. Head beneath impunctate, minutely wrinlsled with apex of basal 

 joint of rostrum about reaching base of head. Pronotum provided with a dis- 

 tinct but narrow callosed collar which is dull piceous ; anterior lobe is a trifle 

 wider than long and two and one half times as long as the posterior lobe, which 

 is flattened and dull piceous, rather finely but not closely punctate ; humeral 

 angles elevated, smooth and slightly paler ; sinus of constriction, at side espe- 

 cially, not sharp angled as insignis but more rounded at bottom and there 

 suffused with dull black. Scutellum dull sooty black, narrow, acute, almost 

 impunctate and extreme tip pale ; posteriorly subcarinate. Corium dull fuscous 

 or sooty black, not setose or hairy, with four smooth dirty white striae, con- 

 verging towards the base, arranged as follows : one on the outer margin of 

 the clavus, extending two thirds its length, one just outside the clavus, extending 

 a little longer and two of equal length between exterior vein and costal margin, 

 reaching a little behind middle of corium. Just before apex of corium and not 

 attaining costal margin, a triangular impunctate pale spot. Infuscated part of 

 clavus and corium with a few punctures arranged somewhat in linear series. 

 Corium abbreviated, membrane extending just past middle of fifth abdominal 

 segment. Membrane fuscous, with basal interior angle and minute spot at 

 external angle, pale ; extreme tip transversely pale, with veins indistinct. Be- 

 neath black, with meso- and metapleural pieces dull, these next the coxae and 

 the posterior concave lateral margins of metasternum pale ; the propleura very

 furnished with stiff bristles. Length of ,^, 7.5 mm. 



Described from three males taken at Lakehtirst, N. J-, by Mr. 

 Wm. T. Davis and myself on July 4, 1909, and September 7. It 

 seems to be rare. I have seen this in collections labelled 5. insignis 

 Uhl, which is, however, a strictly western species, specimens of which 

 in my collection are from Spearfish, S. Dak., and Glen, Sioux Co., 

 Nebr. 



PSEUDOCNEMODUS, new genus. 



Very similar and with many of the characters of Cncmodus H. 

 Schf. from which is chiefly differs by the presence of ocelli; post- 

 ocular margins of head more swollen; collar of pronotum narrower 

 and not so sharply demarked ; posterior lobe of pronotum wider than 

 anterior; fore femora more incrassate, basal part of fore tibiae in 

 male above spine nearly straight, with this spine nearer apex than
