obsolete on the tylus. Aiitenme long, pale greenish, becoming infuseated toward 

 the apex ; first joint very short, reaching about half way to the tip of the head,

Colorado and Texa.s. Described from a male taken at Rocky- 

 ford, Colo., July 16, 1901, by Prof. E. D. Ball, another male taken 

 at North Braunfel.s, Texas, Jiuie 16th, l)y Prof. Wickliam, and two 

 females labeled "Alpine, Texas, July 26th." One of these was 

 kindly given to me by my friend, Prof. Herbert Osborn, in whose 

 collection two of the types now are, and to whom I take pleasure in 

 dedicating this very distinct and interesting species as a slight token

 North American Hemiptera, and of his generous assistance to me 

 in my studies. 



The uniform pale yellowish color of this species, with the strongly 

 contrasted black elytra, will at once distinguish it. 



Feiitatoina (Rliytitloloniia) faceta Say. 



Say described this species from "Missouri," which, of course, 

 included much more than the Missouri of to day ; Uhler records it 

 from Dakota and California. Prof. Ball has sent me a good series 

 from Colorado, and I have received it from Salt Lake City (Brown- 

 ing), and Keeler, Cal. ( Wickham). In July, 1900, I took numbers 

 of both young and adults on a grassy meadow close to the river bank 

 at Grand Junction, Colo. In but one or two specimens does the 

 longitudinal pale line on the pronotum become at all conspicuous. 

 Sometimes there is a black line on the margin of the scutellum 

 either side of the apex. 



This is the last of our species having an elongated form with the 

 head and pronotum more triangularly produced and the third joint 

 of the rostrum much longer than the fourth. The species following 

 belong to the subgenus Chloroehroa Stal. While it is possible quite
