Tegmina with distinct intercalary vein (Epacromiae). 

 i-i. Intercalary vein slender, intermediate between radial and ulnar veins ; 

 mediastinal vein of $ short, not reaching middle of tegmina, the scap- 

 ular area beyond it dilated, scalariform-veined ; median carina of pron- 



otum obsolescent Ligurotettix McNeill. 



c'^. Intercalary vein stout, nearer the ulnar than the radial vein; medi- 

 astinal vein of i reaching well beyond the middle of the tegmina, the 

 scapular area beyond it insignificant ; median carina of pronotum dis- 

 tinct, sharp. Mecostethus Fieber. 



Note I. Rhadinotatum. I correct the 

 spelling of McNeill's name, the initial 

 letter of the Greek word from which he 

 derives it having a rough breathing. 



Note 2. Tryxalis. I have given in 

 Psyche, viii, i6S, my reason for sup- 

 porting McNeill in his use of this 

 generic term, instead of Metaleptea 

 Brunner. 



Note 3. Mesochloa ((txeVos, x'^-oa)- This 

 new generic name is proposed for Eri- 

 tettix abortivus Brun., readily separable 

 from Eritettix by the characters given 

 in the table, and, indeed, nearer to the 

 following genus. 



Note 4. Macneillia. This name is 

 suggested to replace Pedeticum McNeill, 

 preoccupied by Pedeticus Laporte in 

 Hemiptera. It is founded on Chryso- 

 cJiraon obscitrus Scudd. 



Notes- Opeia. This name is errone- 

 ously spelled Oreina in McNeill's key ; 

 see his note in Psyche, viii, 71. 



Note 6. Phlibostroma. The genus 

 named Beta by Brunner in his Syst^me 

 is the same as this, which has priority. 

 See my note in Can. ent., xxix, 76. 



Note 7. Platybothrus (Tt\o.rv%. (SoOpo-;). 



This new genus is founded upon SUno- 

 bothrus bnnineus Thorn. 



Note 8. Bruneria. Given as Brun- 

 neria (preoccupied) in McNeill's Revi- 

 sion, but corrected by him in Psyche, viii, 



71- 



Note 9. Plectrotettix. Given Plec- 

 trophorus by McNeill in his Revision, 

 but being preoccupied this name was 

 changed by him to the present form ; 

 see Psyche, viii, 71. 



Note 10. Eupnigodes. For a similar 

 reason and in the same place, this name 

 was substituted for Pnigodes of the 

 Revision. 



Note 1 1 . Stirapleura. As I have 

 pointed out in Can. ent., xxix, 76, Pseu- 

 dostauronotus Brunner is identical with 

 this and of more recent date. 



Note 12. Ageneotettix. In Psyche 

 viii, 71, McNeill substituted this name 

 for Eremnus of his Revision, preoccu- 

 pied. See also ray remarks in Can. ent., 

 xxix, 75, and Psyche viii, 71. 



Note 13. Aulocara. This is the 

 later Oedocara of Scudder and Colora- 

 della of Brunner. See my notes in the 

 places last cited.
