apical angle of the elytra. About Buffalo it is less abundant than the 

 preceding. Mrs. Slosson has taken it in the Wliite Mountains. 



Of our other described species I have or have studied Slossoni and 

 viridis of Ball and radicis of Osborn. Slossoni and impiger Ball have 

 a brown front almost immaculate; in radicis the front is pale with a 

 basal fuscous band indicated, while viridis Ball and fulvus Osborn are 

 almost unicolorous insects. Cixius imputictatus Fitch is a Catonia.. 

 Myndus delicatus n. sp. 



Closely allied to sordidipennis, but a little smaller and paler. Vertex 

 a little narrower anteriorly, the sides almost parallel before the middle; 

 in sordidipennis these sides converge nearly to their apex ; black with a 

 broad longitudinal line toward the apex pale fulvous. Eyes black 

 with their inner edges slenderly pale. Front rounded ovate; yellowish 

 white with a black band across the base and apex; these bands a little 

 narrower than in the allied species; carinne on the apex of the head 

 pale, lower down on the front the lateral carinse become blackish 

 within. Clypeus soiled white. Pronotum about as wide as in the same 

 sex of sordidipennis] the hind edge more angularly emarginate and the 

 humeral angles more rounded; superior disk black with the slender 

 hind edge and median carina pale; sides pale slightly stained, the 

 deflected portion black more or less broadly bordered with pale; in 

 sordidipennis entirely pale in the specimens before me. Patagia 

 black, fuscous in its ally. Mesonotum black wdth its side compart- 

 ments invaded with ferruginous before, the small seutellum pale. 

 Elytra almost hyaline, slightly smoky at tip; nervures white dotted 

 with concolorous bristle-bearing pits; stigma whitish. Beneath 

 whitish, a little suffused with flavous on the venter. Apex of the 

 genital segment oblique, armed with a minute triangular ventral tooth ; 

 in sordidipennis this ventral tooth is larger with the adjoining margin 

 quite deeply excavated ; stiles undulated at base as in sordidipennis 

 but distally approximated to their rounded apex. In sordidipennis 

 most of the lower surface and genital pieces are black. Length 5 mm. 



Described from two male examples taken at Hot Springs, North 

 Carolina, by Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson. 



Subfamily ISSIDA. 



This subfamily is quite largely represented in our territory. I notice 

 here one new species taken by Mrs. Slosson in Florida and two western 

 forms. 

 Peltonotellus decoratus n. sp. 



Closely allied to simplex, but with the elytra and abdomen mostly
