Tliis species has been recorded from several localities in southern 

 Arizona. 



ACROCARA Scuclder. 

 Acrocara maculipenne Scudder. 



San Bernardino Ranch, 3,750 feet, August (F. H. Snow), 1 cJ*. 



This specimen is perfectly typical of this scarce species except that 

 the pale colors are bone white, the darker colors more sombre brown 

 and the proximal portion of the wings, the metanotum and dorsal 

 section of the proximal abdominal segments sevres blue instead of 

 bronze green. Such differences as exist are merely in color shades, 

 the maculation and pattern of lines and bars being the same as described 

 by Scudder. This species has only been recorded from Montelovez, 

 Coahuila, and Villa Lerdo, Durango, Mexico, the above record con- 

 stituting the first from within the limits of the United States. 



ERITETTIX Brunner. 

 Eritettix variabilis Bruner. 



Douglas, August (F. H. Snow), 1 9 . 



This specimen has little or no trace of the supplementary carinae on 

 the dorsum of the pronotum, but the antennae are typical of the species. 

 There appears to be no doubt that Eupedetes carinatus Scudder is no 

 other than this species, as a study of the description will show. The 

 character of the antennae does not appear sufficient to form the basis 

 of a new genus, especially in view of the appreciable reduction of the 

 clavation in species hke tricarinatus and navicula. Another point 

 apparently overlooked by Scudder in describing Eupedetes is that 

 Eritettix* was based on but two definitely stated species, variabilis and 

 abortivus, although carinatus, tricarinatus and virgatus were mentioned 

 through the generic description in explanation of variable characters. 

 Of these two definitely placed species variabilis stands first, and is the 

 type also by elimination as abortivus was removed by Scudder to 

 Mesochloa in 1898. It is thus evident that the type of Eritettix is a 

 species with non-clavate antennae. 



This species has previously been recorded only from Silver City, 

 Grant Co., New Mexico, and, as Eupedetes carinatus, from La Tremen- 

 tina, San Miguel Co., New Mexico. 



AMPHITORNUS McNeill. 

 Amphitornus ornatus McNeill. 



Carr Canyon, Huachuca Mountains, 5,500 feet, September, 1905 

 (Biederman), 2 9 .
