Sept. 1899.] Banks: Smynthurid^ of Long Island, N. Y. 197 



Smynthurus fraternus, sp. nov. 



Head pale, dark on face, but shading into pale above ; antennns pale ; legs dark 

 brown, rather purplish ; abdomen dark brown, slightly purplish, venter darker on 

 base, light on apical half, furcula dark. Very similar to S. Jiigripes in general ap- 

 pearance and structure, but it is larger, the abdomen longer and the sides more par- 

 allel, the color more pm-plish, the head pale above and pale on apical half of venter. 

 The structural characters are practically the same as S. nigripes ; but the species, side 

 by side, appear to be different. 



Seca Cliff, N. Y. 

 Smynthurus clavatus Banks. 



Easily known by the clavate hairs on dorsum ; it occurs on rotton 

 logs. 



Smynthurus macgillivrayi Banks. 



This species was swept from grass on a high hill (Harbor Hill) at 

 Roslyn, Long Island. The pair of small horns easily separate it from 

 all other species. 



Smynthurus hortensis Fitdi. 



This is abundant on garden vegetables, and also in lawns. 

 Smynthurus arvalis Fitch. 



Common in fields, and also on garden vegetables. 

 Smynthurus elegans Fitch. 



Rare, on sandy ground. A form has dark stripes connected, and 

 a spot behind on each side separate from the stripes. 



Genus Dicyrtoma Boitrl. 



Abdomen maculate guttata. 



Abdomen not maculate uniCOlor. 



Dicyrtoma guttata Say. 



Papirins inarmoratus Pack. 



A few specimens of this handsome species which I believe is the 

 same as Say's. 



Dicyrtoma unicolor Harvey. 



Papiriits imicolor Harvey. 

 Papirius piirpwascens MacGill. 



Rather common in woods among dead leaves ; it appears to agree 

 exactly with Harvey's figure and description. Two specimens smaller 

 and darker are scarcely more than a variety.
