1923] The Fulgorid.^ of Eastern North America 183 



I believe that this is the species that has been identified in the past 

 as Cixius alhocinctus Germar, the Paleartic species given as a variety 

 of Cixius pilosus by Oshaniu ; but it seems to be distinct from speci- 

 mens in my collection identified as Cixius alhocinctus Germar and 

 Cixius pilosus by Lethierry. 



Ciocixius New Genus. 



Orthotype Cixius dorsivittatus Van Duzee. 



This genus may be recognized by the broad vertex and by the 

 nearly perpendicular wings which are broadened apically and strongly 

 compressed. 



Head nearly as broad as the pronotum ; vertex squarely produced 

 for more than half its length in front of the eyes; lateral compart- 

 ments of the genae evident dorsally ; frons nearly vertical, median 

 carina distinct, lateral margins strongly reflexed, regularly arcuate 

 from base to apex ; pronotum short, collar-like, the anterior and pos- 

 terior margins nearly concentric; disk of the mesonotum tricarinate, 

 strongly elevated, the lateral compartments nearly vertical; fore 

 wings vertical, strongly broadened apically; subcosta and radius 

 united at the base for a short distance only, cubitus forked at about 

 the same level as the union of the claval veins ; posterior tibia armed 

 with two small spines, one on the basal half and the other near the 

 middle. 



Microledrida flava n. sp. 



Figs. 76, 280, 281, 576 



This species may be recognized by its pale yellow color, practically 

 unmarked wings and distinct male genitalia. 



Vertex broad, not produced for more than one-third of its length 

 in front of the eyes; median carina strongly elevated throughout; 

 frons broad, not more than one and one-half times as broad as long ; 

 median carina distinct; pronotum not half as long as the vertex; 

 mesonotum nearly twice as long as the vertex; median tooth of the 

 male pygofer short and obtuse; genital styles not widely separated, 

 their inner angles meeting on the median line; outer angles only 

 slightly produced, obtuse. 



Color : General color pale testaceous yellow, eyes brown ; clypeus 

 shading to ochraceous orange ; wings milky subhyaline ; the punctures
