SOME NEW SPECIES OF JASSOIDEA. 
S. E. CRUMB, 
U.S. Bureau of Entomology. 
This paper includes descriptions of twelve new species of 
Jassoidea mostly from Tennessee, and a description of the male 
of Deltocephalus mendosus Ball. 
Deltocephalus visendus n. sp. (Pl. XIX, figs. 3, 4). 
Pale cinereous, resembling reflexus in form and markings. Face 
not distinctly bicolored. 3.4 to 4.2 mm. long, 1. mm. broad. 
Vertex flat, as long as its width between the eyes, nearly two and 
one-half times as long on middle as next eye, nearly twice as long as the 
pronotum, clypeus short, tapering, broad, apex broadly truncate, one- 
third the length of the front, pronotum twice wider than long. Elytra 
in form and venation as in reflexus, but with two cross nervures, claval 
veins confluent through the middle fourth of the outer vein. 
Color: General color pale cinereous, vertex with the apex white, 
margined laterally with black, an orange line from apex toward the 
ocelli, ocelli red, a pair of median transverse bars on vertex, another 
pair of convergent submedian spots near the base and six longitudinal 
stripes on the pronotum, pale brownish fuscous, elytra with black spots 
outside the anterior juncture of the claval veins, behind the first cross 
vein and in the third apical cell. Face black above, becoming brownish 
fuscous below. 
2 Ultimate ventral segment twice as long as the penultimate, 
twice as broad as long, side margin narrowed from before the middle, 
the lateral angles produced, short, roundingly lobate, the posterior 
margin gently emarginate, the median fourth subangularly produced 
and minutely notched at apex, surpassed by the lateral lobes. Segment 
pale with a dark, median apical area. 
o Valve triangular, twice as broad as long, three times as long 
as ultimate segment; plates twice as long as valve, nearly one-half 
longer than broad, side margin nearly straight, convergent, abruptly 
constricted about one-third from the apex, beyond which the tips are 
nearly parallel, blunt and minutely excavated on the inner margin. 
Pygofers about one-fourth longer than the plates, distinctly compressed 
from near the base. 
Described from two males and two females collected by the 
author, November 19, 1914, at Jacksonville, Florida. 
Deltocephalus funabulus n. sp. (Pl. XIX, figs. 17, 18). 
White, resembling albidus, with all the veins of the elytra margined 
with dark fuscous, face black above and abruptly pale yellow below. 
3.7 to 4. mm. long, 1.1 to 1.5 mm. broad.
