Liburnia shermani n. sp. 



Figs. 557, 686 



This species is close to L. campestris Van Duzee but may be recog- 

 nized by the entirelj^ distinct genitalia. 



Vertex long and narrow, short ; lateral carinte indistinct over the 

 apex of the head ; f rons broad below about three times as long as broad ; 

 posterior margin of the pronotum nearly straight; lateral caringe 

 strongly curved outward, following the posterior margin of the eyes; 

 calcar short and narrow about half as long as the basal tarsal segment ; 

 marginal teeth very minute ; male pygof er short, the genital opening 

 notched ventrally, rounded dorsally; genital styles broad at the base, 

 widely separated touching each other medially about one-third of the 

 distance from the margin of the genital aperture then constricted into 

 a narrow neck-like portion which expands apically into a broad mush- 

 room-shaped apex ; anal tube with two blunt ventral processes ; female 

 genitalia with the pygof ers about four times as long as broad, slightly 

 longer than the ovipositor.

Liburnia unda n. sp. 



Fig. 709 



This is a pale species quite similar to Liburnia detecta Van Duzee 

 but may be recognized by its distinct genitalia. 



Vertex broad and short ; the lateral caringe distinct over the apex 

 of the head; frons broad, narrowed to about half its width between 

 the eyes; pronotum as long as the vertex; the lateral carina diverg- 

 ingly curved outward; mesonotum but little longer than the pro-
