1923] The Fulgorid^ of Eastern North America 191 



Head broad, slightly broader than the prothorax ; vertex broad, 

 tricarinate; lateral margins strongly diverging; posterior margin 

 broadly curved ; anterior margin curving gradually into the f rons. 

 Frons very broad, nearly twice as broad as long. Pronotum elongate ; 

 anterior margin produced ; posterior margin broadly triangularly 

 notched. Mesonotum elongate without carina. Fore wings elongate, 

 about twice longer than broad, longitudinal veins distinct ; reticulat- 

 ing veins rather indistinct on the basal half. Last ventral segment 

 of the female broadly excavated without median tooth. 



Color: General color testaceous (green in life?) with the broad 

 brownish fascia extending from the compound eyes across the lateral 

 field of the pro- and mesonotum and gradually attenuated along the 

 sutural margins of the elytra. Frons, clypeus and all of the legs 

 testaceous. Last ventral segment of the female broadly excavated 

 to almost its anterior border. 



Length, apex of head to ape^. of abdomen 5.25 mm. ; to apex of 

 wing 7.35 mm. ; length of wing 5.07 mm. ; greatest width of wing 2.62 

 mm. 



This species might readily be mistaken for a depauperate form of 

 Acanalonia hirittata but the coloring is somewhat different and the 

 genitalia totally unlike.

This species maj- be recognized by its short, broad vertex, pale 

 ochraceous buff or olive ochraceous buff color, heavily spotted with 

 fuscous and by the very distinct genitalia. 



Head broad ; vertex nearly twice broader than long angularly pro- 

 duced anteriorly; frons somewhat elongate, conically produced ba- 

 sally ; clypeus about one and one-half times as long as broad ; clypeal 

 grooves evident ; antennae with second segments about one and one- 

 half times as long as first segment, both segments somewhat flattened, 

 Pronotum broad, short, nearly four times as broad as long. Meso- 

 notum strongly produced anteriorly; costal margins of the wing 

 faintly erenulate ; costal membrane about twice as broad as the costal
