"Length, .12 inch. Yellovvisli ; thorax washed with brownish ; elytra hyaline, 

 washed with yellowish at the base, carrying near the middle and at the apex ill de- 

 fined, more or less ap|iarent spots. Vertex narrow, slightly triangular before the 

 same as the front of the prothorax. Elytra longer than the body. Beneath and feet 

 also yellow." 



8. Pediopsis punctifrons Uhl. MS. 



Similar in form to P. sctitcllata but smaller. Pale or yellowish green ; face and 

 scutel with hilack spots ; elytra hyaline with brown nervures. Length, 3| — 4 mm., 

 width, about i^ mm. 



Male.— Head broad, less angular before than in viridis. Face with distinct but 

 shallow punctures and wrinkles, these broken and somewhat obscure on the front ; 

 frontal sutures distinct ; lorK of medium width, scarcely tumid ; clypeus broad, the 

 sides rounded, with a slight depression beyond the lorae. In fully colored examples 

 there are fine black spots on the face ; one above near the tip, another on each side 

 directly above the ocellus, and two comma-shaped spots facing each other on the 

 upper part of the front. Ocelli brown. Eyes pale. Tip of the rostrum black. Pro- 

 pleura with a black spot. Legs and all beneath pale green. Pronotum with distinct 

 rugae ; anterior margin quite strongly depressed each side of the center behind the 

 eyes where there is a row of four or five impressed black points, or a black line ; disk 

 sometimes suffused with brownish. Scutellum pale with a broad black central longi- 

 tudinal line, widened toward the apex where it is divided by a slender pale line ; in 

 pale examples this line is broken into three small spots arranged in a triangle ; 

 each side of this central line and immediately before the transverse depression is a 

 round black point ; and within the basal angles are triangular black spots. Elytra 

 hyaline, greenish at the base, the nervures brown ; generally there are one or more 

 extra transverse nervures in the anti-apical cells. Wings transparent with brownish 

 veins. Tergum yellowish green. 



The female differs from the male in being paler, with the elytral 

 nervures greenish or but slightly embrowned, and in having the black 

 spots much reduced or some of them wanting. The round black points 

 on each side of the vertex and disk of the scutellum are the last to be 

 effected and are probably never entirely absent. 



Arizona. Collected by the late Mr. H. K. Morrison. Described 

 from seven examples ; four received from Mr. Uhler and three from the 

 Cornell University collection. 



A little lot of Callimorpha contigua is now feeding on Rubus and 

 Rosa. To the kindness of Mr. Schoenborn I owe the eggs, taken from 

 several captured females all exactly alike, as I had an opportunity of 

 seemg. 1 tried the young larva on Plantain and several others of the 

 ordinary Arc/rid food plants, but they refused everything but a leaf of 

 Black-cap Raspberry which got in by accident. They will eat also 

 Blackberry and Rose, but took nothing else.
