by Melichar. In this genus the head is broader than in Acanalonia, but 

 the longer scutellum and broad vertical reticulated elytra seem to ally 

 it most closely with Acanalonia and I follow Melichar in placing it with 

 that genus. Through a clerical error Melichar has credited this genus 

 to Say instead of Germar. 



Genus ACANALONIA Spinola. 

 Acanalonia olypeata n. sp. 



Allied to viresccns Stal but a little smaller with much narrower elytra. 

 Vertex horizontal, longitudinally a little concave; slightly conical 

 before, a little more so than in virescens, but with its length distinctlj' 

 less than its width between the eyes; passage to the front rounded. 

 Front broad, much shortened by the encroachment of the broad trun- 

 cated base of the clypeus, which reaches above the lower line of the 

 eyes; base tumid, sides well rounded, less angled than in virescens _ 

 Clypeus very large, transversely tumid, polished. Pro- and mesono- 

 tum about as in viresccns, ecarinate. Elytra as long as in virescens 

 but much narrower, their length twice their greatest width which is at 

 about the basal fourth, then narrowed and a little sinuated or subparal- 

 lel to the feebly rounded apex; longitudinal venation strong, reticula- 

 tions weak and somewhat coarser than in virescens. Wings as long as 

 the elytra; whitish hyaline or a little infuscated, with prominent ner- 

 vures. Length 7 mm. to the tip of the closed elytra; width across the 

 elytra 3 mm. 



Color pale greenish yellow tinged with testaceous on the clypeus; 

 eyes brown; tarsi tinged with rufous; apical spines of the posterior 

 tibiae and antennal setaj black. Elytra pale pea-green becoming 

 whitish along the base of the costa and with the marginal nervure 

 about the apex very slenderly brown. 



Described from a single male example taken at St. George, Utah, 

 in July, by Prof. H. F. Wickham. This species is very near to deli- 

 catula Fowler, but the elytra are still narrower, the vertex is shorter 

 and not separated from the front by a carina, and there are no dis- 

 cernible carinee on the mesonotum. The large oval and tumid clypeus 

 and narrow elytra are good characters for distinguishing this species. 



Subfamily FLATIDA Stal. 

 Genus CYARDA Walker. 

 Cyarda Melichari VanDuzee. 



A fine series of Cyardas from Florida received from Mrs. Slosson has 

 enabled me to correct one other error of determination in my Jamaica 

 list. The Florida specimens there mentioned under Cyarda were of
