Described from one female, taken in Gunnison, Colorado, by C. F. Baker. 

 Trioza similis n. sp. 

 (Figs. 128 M; 129 J ; 130 F. ) 



Length of body, 2.6 mm. ; length of forewing, 3.5 mm. ; greatest width 

 1.6 mm.; width of vertex between eyes, .42 mm.; with eyes, .66 mm.; general 

 color, light brownish yellow. 



Head slightly detlexed, finely punctate ; with eyes not as broad as thorax. 

 Posterior margin of vertex arcuate, narrowly elevated in center; discal area 

 with a fovea on each side near posterior margin and nearer to median suture 

 than to posterior ocelli ; with a nanow sulcus connecting the two fovea and an 

 oblique depression extending from each fovea to insertion of antennae; frontal 

 plates not raised plate-like. Eyes not as prominent as usual; anterior ocellus 

 at angle of facial cones, slightly visible from above. Facial cones quite long, 

 strongly divergent, acute at tip, subhorizontal and distinctly visible from above, 

 pubescence mostly basal, very sparse on distal half. Antenns inserted on 

 vertical frons above base of cones ; two basal segments large, remaining" 

 segments filiform, black on apical half. 



Thorax moderately arched, ascending somewhat beyond anterior margin 

 of scutum ; finely punctate. Pronotum short, depressed below dorsulum and 

 head and scarcely visible from above. Dorsulum quite strongly ascending, 

 roundly pointed anteriorly; both dorsulum and scutum faintly marked with 

 light brown. Wings hyaline, about two and one-third times as long as 

 broad, broadest across first marginal cell ; rounded apically ; radius longer than 

 second cubital; fourth furcal terminating at apex of wing; venation light 

 brown, not conspicuous. 



Female. — Genital segment as long as two preceding segments, slightly
