Cosmocomoidea morilli, Howard. 



A SERIES of specimens (identified by Howard) reared from 

 leaf-hopper eggs on sugar-cane, October, 1911, San Lucrezia^ 

 Vera Cruz, Mexico (F. W. Urich). The male antennae are 

 13-jomted, contrary to the original description. The genus, thus, 

 is Gonatoceiiis save for the distinct (longer than wide) petiole of 

 the female abdomen. Compared with types of both sexes. In. 

 these Mexican specimens (females), the abdominal j^etiole was 

 only slightly longer than wide ; and the head (except vertex) and 

 sides of the base of the abdomen, the parapsides, the propleurum,., 

 and the legs (except the caudal tibiae) of the male were honey 

 yellow. The abdominal j)etiole is decidedly shorter in the males, 

 the abdomen subsessile in the Mexican male, which also had the 

 fascia on the fore wing. In the cotype females I find the abdo- 

 minal petiole varies much in length, sometimes no longer than 

 with the Mexican series of females. In the female, the most 

 conspicuous marking is the cross-band of dorsal abdomen at 

 about middle ; the other black markings are more or less obscure. 

 The scutellum is scaly. The thoracic structures are as in 

 Gonatocerus and the genus is Ooctonus. 



Blastothrix hohemani, Westwood. 



The two mandibular teeth are acute, and the species is an 

 Epidinocarsis {or Ana gyrus). From a specimen labelled in the 

 U.S.N.M.
