8. Pediopsis punctifrons Uhl. MS. 
Similar in form to P. scate//ata but smaller. Pale or yellowish green ; face and 
scutel with black spots ; elytra hyaline with brown nervures. Length, 34—4 mm., 
width, about 14 mm. 
Male. —Head broad, less angular before than in vzvidis. Face with distinct but 
shallow punctures and wrinkles, these broken and somewhat obscure on the front ; 
frontal sutures distinet ; lorae of medium width, scarcely tumid ; clypeus broad, the 
sides rounded, with a slizht depression beyond the lore. In fully colored examples 
there are fine black spots on the face; one above near the tip, another on each side 
directly above the ocellus, and two comma-shaped spots facing each other on the 
upper part of the front. Ocelli brown. Eyes pale. Tip of the rostrum black. Pro- » 
pleura with a black spot. Legs and all beneath pale green. Pronotum with distinct 
ruge ; anterior margin quite strongly depressed each side of the center behind the 
eyes where there is a row of four or five impressed black points, or a black line ; disk 
sometimes suffused with brownish. Scutellum pale with a broad black central longi- 
tudinal line, widened toward the apex where it is divided by a slender pale line ; in 
pale examples this line is broken into three small spots arranged in a triangle ; 
each side of this central line and immediately before the transverse depression is @ 
round black point ; and within the basal angles are triangular black spots. Elytra 
hyaline, greenish at the base, the nervures brown ; generally there are one or more 
extra transverse nervures in the anti-apical cells. Wings transparent with brownish 
veins. Tergum yellowish green. 
The female differs from the male in being paler, with the elytral 
nervures greenish or but slightly embrowned, and in having the black 
spots much reduced or some of them wanting. The round black points 
on each side of the vertex and disk of the scutellum are the last to be 
effected and are probably never entirely absent. 
Arizona. Collected by the late Mr. H. K. Morrison. Described 
from seven examples ; four received from Mr. Uhler and three from the 
Cornell University collection. 
A little lot of Callimorpha contigua is now feeding on Rubus and 
Rosa. Yo the kindness of Mr. Schcenborn I owe the eggs, taken from 
several captured females all exactly alike, as I had an opportunity of 
seeing. I tried the young larva on Plantain and several others of the 
ordinary Arcfid food plants, but they refused everything but a leaf of 
Black-cap Raspberry: which got in by accident. They will eat also 
Blackberry and Rose, but took nothing else.
