PSYCHE. 



[November i 



ating the sharply angled hind margin. Plates 

 of male once and a half the length of pre- 

 ceding segment, narrow and slender, very 

 gradually narrowed to tips. 



Described from several males and females 

 collected at Los Angeles, Cal., by Prof. A. P. 

 Morse, at Prescott, Ariz., by Dr.' R. E. 

 Kunze, and one specimen in the National 

 Museum, taken at Los Angeles by Mr. 

 Koebele. This, one of our prettiest Tetti- 

 gonids, has long borne the above ISIs. name 

 of Dr. Uhler. 



Tcttigonia cytJniya n. sp. Length ? 5 

 rnin., of $ 4.25 mm. Pale yellowish, dor- 

 sum and more or less of sternum, black. Face 

 without distinct markings. Vertex with 

 three black dots on front edge, one at center 

 and one on either side ; on either side of 

 the disc, near front edge and parallel with it, 

 is a black line which originates back of the 

 point and terminates over the frontal suture; 

 two fine median longitudinal lines on poste- 

 rior half of disc, and a small spot on either side 

 between ocellus and eye, black. Pronotum 

 bright green, front margin yellow, broaden- 

 ing laterally. Scutel with the transverse 

 impressed line and three very fine lines con- 

 necting it with hinder margin, black, causing 

 the whole to appear like a black double loop 

 on basal half. Elytra bright green by re- 

 flected light (smoky by transmitted) with a 

 bluish tinge along the claval suture and base 

 of costal margin, the principal veins more 

 or less darkened, the apical margin trans- 

 parent. Wings deep smoky. 



Last ventral segment of the female twice 

 the length of preceding, the hind margin 

 acutely angled, the edge emarginate on either 

 side of the acute point. Male plates of me- 

 dium length, slender, narrowing to acute, 

 slightly diverging, dark brown points. 



Described from one female and numerous 

 males, collected at Palm Springs, Cala., by 

 Prof. A. P. Morse. I have one specimen from 

 Arizona, received from the Cornell Univer- 

 sity collection. This fine little species has 

 long borne the above Ms. name of Dr. Uhler. 



Tcltigonin aurora n. sp. Lengtli of ? 7 

 ram. Pale yellowish, legs inclining to 

 orange, dorsum bright carmine. Front with 

 three longitudinal black lines nearly through- 

 out its length on the disc, two abbreviated 

 dashes above, and two dots on each lateral 

 margin, one at antennal pit, the other at 

 clypeal angle. A transverse row of three 

 black spots on each gena. Clypeus with a 

 dark median line. Front edge of vertex with 

 three black dots, one at center and one on 

 either side. Disc of vertex with a black line 

 on either side, near and mostly parallel with 

 front edge, extending from a short longi- 

 tudinal dash near median line and just back 

 of apex to the frontal suture ; basal half of 

 vertex with four equidistant rectangular 

 spots, the two outer including the ocelli, the 

 two inner somewhat elongate. Pronotum 

 pale, slightly tinged with reddish posteriorly, 

 with a row of six rectangular black spots 

 near anterior margin, and a row of four 

 smaller ones near hind margin; disc with 

 four indistinct longitudinal lines. Scutel 

 yellow, with the transverse impressed line, a 

 median longitudinal stripe, and two dots at 

 base black. Elytra brick red, the principal 

 veins paler, the inner apical all transparent. 

 Wings infuscated. 



Last ventral segment of female twice the 

 length of the preceding, hind margin broadly 

 rounded. 



Described from two females collected in 

 Arizona and received from the Cornell Uni- 

 versitv collection. This is another of Dr. 

 Uhler's Ms. species, and the three are de- 

 scribed under these names at his request.
