example labeled ‘‘Md., June 18th, on Willow,” and two small brown 
males from Nevada. 
2. Pediopsis basalis, n. sp. 
Form of P. massata Germ. Ferruginous ; abdomen olive green ; elytra pellucid, 
slightly clouded at base and apex, a dark piceous band on the base bordering the 
scutellum. Length, 5 mm., Q. 
Head pale below ; face finely and obscurely punctured, above with the central 
smooth line and radiating rugz almost obsolete ; eyes and ocelli black. Pronotum 
finely wrinkled ; central smooth line nearly obsolete ; posterior edge broadly, not 
angularly, concave. Scutellum finely punctured, darker at the basal angles. Elytra 
thickened and distinctly wrinkled on the base of the clavus, which is marked with a 
broad piceous band contiguous to the scutellar margin ; base of the corium and apex 
broadly suffused with pale yellowish brown. Abdomen dirty olive green, the edge 
of the segments paler. Valves yellow, tipped with green. Tip of the tarsi brownish. 
Described from a single female specimen, taken near Muskoka Lake, 
about the first of August, 1888. This large distinctly marked form can 
not be confounded with any other described species. 
3. Pediopsis ferrugineoides n. sp. 
Form broad and stout. Color ferruginous, lower half of the face and all beneath 
yellow, apex of the elytra and a transverse band beyond the middle subhyaline ; pro- 
pleura with a black spot. Length, 54—6 mm., width of pronotum about 2 mm. 
Vertex viewed from above very narrow ; face broad and _ short, with coarse, 
shallow, not very distinct rugze and punctures ; frontal suture almost obsolete ; lorz 
narrow, iaconspicuous, quite widely margined by the cheeks ; clypeus broad and 
short, scarcely projecting beyond the lorz, surface broadly impressed before the trp 
which is rounded, base tumid with a central depression ; tip of the rostrum black. 
Pronotum darker on the disk ; an elongated yellow spot behind the eye, more or less 
distinct, and a trace of the same color at the apex ; rugz distinct but not conspicuous; 
posterior margin rather deeply concave. Scutellum coarsely punctured with five 
yellow spots, two placed within the basal angles, two smaller ones on the middle of 
the lateral margins, and an abbreviated longitudinal line on the middle of the base ; 
apex yellowish. Legs pale yellow. Abdomen bright fulvous, the venter paler. 
Elytra ferruginous, paler towards the apex ; a transverse band near the tip of the 
clavus and the apex more or less distinctly subhyaline, the included ferruginous band 
may be reduced to a spot on the apex of the sutural margin by the costal coalescence 
of the clear bands, veins concolorous. Wings milky transparent, veins white. 
Montana, Two examples, both females, received from Mr. Uhler. 
One, a pale individual, evidently immature, exhibits but traces of the 
yellow markings on the‘pronotum and scutellum. This is the largest 
species of Pediopsis that has come under my observation. It is well 
distinguished from all our other species by its short tumid clypeus and 
depressed lore. 
4. Pediopsis insignis n. sp. 
Dull yellowish brown Q, or blackish brown <j’; covered with a white bloom 
when fresh ; elytra with a small pale spot beyond the middle ; pronotal ruge very 
distinct. Length, <j’, 4mm.; 9, 44—5 mm.
