nitely fixed in mind. While collecting in another localitN- last year 

 the same species l^'as found and instantly recognized, and, like the 

 former one, lost. This now became the chief object of search, and 

 later it was captured in se\eral different places. Its remarkable 

 agility in escaping from a net probably being a reason it has not 

 been captured before. 



Thamnotettix pasadena, n. sp. 



Size and form of ursina nearly, colour pattern resembling 

 coUaris, but still more highly ornamented. Rich brown, with head, 

 saddle and anteapical band yellow. Lengtli 9 0.5mm; cf 6mm.; 

 width ].,5mm. 



Vertex definitely obliiseh- angled, almost two-thirds as long 

 as its basal width, slightly shorter than the pronotum, one-half 

 longer at apex than against the eye, disc flat, the margins rounding 

 to the front except at the conical apex, front broiidly wedge-shaped, 

 the lateral margins nearly straight,, clypeus broad, slightly con- 

 stricted. Elytra moderately long, strongly flaring behind. Vena- 

 tion weak, often obscure, with irregular reticulations in the ante- 

 apical cells, often especialK- empiiasized along the claval and costal 

 margins. 



Colour — Vertex and fare light ncUow to yellowish ivory, 

 eyes reddish or reddish Iirown, pronotum lich brown, the anterior 

 submargin rich brown, with a row of irregular coalescing black 

 spots, on either side a transverse median ivory mark; scutellum 

 rich brown, sometimes with a medium light shield ornamented 

 with two round dots. Elytra with the anterior two-thirds of 

 claval areas rich yellowish ivor>', the remainder brown, corium 

 yellowish subhyaline, a brown cloud along the claval suture abruptly 

 terminating just before the apex of clavus, where it expands and, 

 uniting with the claval markings, forms a transverse brown band 

 which narrows toward the costa and becomes slightly oblique, 

 the reflexed apices of the elytra, including most of the apical areas 

 smok\- brown. 



Genitalia — F"emale ultimate segment three or four times as 

 long as the preceding, deeply angularly excavated from the lateral 

 angles two-thirds, of its depth, the bottom of the notch broadly
