Catonia intricata Uhler. 



This is a small species very close to pumila, but the front is more 

 narrowed basally, pale, closely dotted with brown,, and the elytra are 

 more variegated and minutely dotted with pale, and in some examples 

 are quite decidedly tinged with rufous toward the costa. Dr. Uhler 

 described this species from the Island of St. Vincent. I took it in 

 Jamaica and Prof. Ball has received it from Hayti. So far it has not 

 been reported from the United States, but it is quite likely to be found 

 in southern Florida. 



Subfamily CIXIIDA Stal. 



This subfamily has a wide distribution in the temperate regions of 

 the world. Six genera and thirty-five species are now known from this 

 country. Monorachis Uhler is too insufficiently known to me to be 

 included in this table. Our other genera may be separated as follows : 



Posteriortibiaearmed with two or three spines, 1. 



Posterior tibise unarmed, 2. 



1. Base of the head broadly sinuated; mesonotum tricarinate, 



Cixius Latr. 



— . Base of the head angulate-emarginate; mesonotum normally 5- 



carinate, Oliarus Stal. 



2. Eyes sinuated anteriorly, antennse inserted before this sinus, 



Bothriocera Burm. 

 — Eyes sinuated inferiorly, or entire, antennce inserted below the eyes, 



3. 



3. Base of the head truncated ; vertex very narrow, its sides parallel 



or wider anteriorly; front and clypeus elongated, .CEdeus StaL 



— . Base of the head subsinuated ; vertex broader, narrowed anterio ly ; 



front and clypeus together elliptical, . . . Myndus Stal. 



Genus MONORACHIS T'hler. 

 Monoracliis sordulentus Uhler. 



Mrs. Slosson has very kindly sent me for study a type specimen of 

 this species which unfortunately is without a head. As nearly as I can 

 judge from the fragment remaining, I believe this is the species after- 

 ward described by Canon Fowler as Metabrixia aspersa from Mexico and 

 Vera Cruz. This may sink the genus Metabrixia as a synonym of 

 Monorachis, although this is by no means certain, as Canon Fowler 

 says, "This species differs considerably from the rest and may belong 

 to another genus." Mrs. Slosson's specimen seems to be of a short- 

 winged form. 



Genus BOTHRIOCERA Burm. 

 Bothriocera tinealis Burm. 



After a careful study of further material received from Mrs. Slosson
