EV ACANTHUS. Lepel. and Serv. 

 Okbital Evacanthus, *K orbitalis. Black, shining; orbital margins, 

 antennae and legs, tawny white; elytra deep fuscous, nerves 

 and large spot at the apex of the outer margin white; face 

 with a tawny white, transverse spot or band above. Length, 

 0.18, to tip of female abdomen 0-20. On dogwood, the last 

 of July. Rare. No. 756, male. 



GYPONA. Germ. 



'^ Yellow-striped Gypona, * G. flavilineata. Pale green, immac- 

 ulate; thorax with eight pale yellow vittjs, the middle ones 

 common to the vertex and scutel. Tettigonia S-lineata, var. 

 a, of Say. Having never met with specimens possessing rosa- 

 ceous stripes and nervures, and this insect being larger in size 

 than the 8-lineata, I am induced to regard it as a distinct 

 species. Length, 0-35 to 0-45. Common on oaks, maple, wal- 

 nut, &c. No. 757, male; 758, female. 



Red-mottled Gypona,* G. scarlatina. Dull yellowish brown ; elytra 

 with rosaceous nerves and dots; thorax without vittfe; com- 

 mon disk of the elytra sparsely dotted with black; length, 

 0-40. No. 759, female. 



PENTHIMIA. Germ. 



American Penthimia, *J*. americana. Black; elytra white towards 

 the apex; two dots on the anterior edge of the vertex, and a 

 spot on each outer angle of the thorax sanguineous or rufous. 

 Female, with the vertex, thorax, scutel and venter, san- 

 guineous. Closely alied to the European varieties hemor- 

 rhoea and sanguinicollis, (Fab.) but is a size larger. Length, 

 0-23. Rare. Taken on the sugar maple. No. 760, male; 

 761, female. 



ACOCEPHALUS. Germ. 

 ^' Yellow Acocephalus, *A. vitelUnus. Yellow; elytra longer
