irregularly clouded with piceous, a broad, black, transverse 

 band extending between lateral angles from tip to tip; a l)lack 

 line on each side( sonietinies obsolete) reaching from anterior 

 base of crest in a curve to the inferior margin just belowr pos- 

 terior edge of crest; apical half of posterior process piceous, 

 densely punctured, with several lateral carinas in posterior por- 

 tion. Tegmina punctured, veins towards base and apex black. 

 Below yellow; tibiie spotted with black, triquetrous, with small 

 spines, top of tarsi lirown. Abdomen yellow, hairy, ovipositor

 forward and downward, uniting with transverse band above 

 each eye; a black spot on inferior margins below middle of 

 crest; entire crest black excepting posterior edge, which forms 

 a yellow vitta and extends downward and backward to inferior

Collected by C. W. Stromberg, in whose honor this peculiar 

 species is named. 



The general appearance of this species is almost identical 

 with Knityd (turijUid as represented in Walker's List llom. 

 B. M. plate 4, fig. 1 and 2, but as it is impossible to 

 place the species in that genus on account of its venation, I 

 have placed it in Heliria for the present. Its venation is very 

 similar to Telamona, and I doubt the advisability of separating 

 Heliria from that genus.
