colour is more or less predominating in specimens from

12. Two new Argentinian Species of the Genus 
Dictyophara Germ. 
The cosmopolitan genus Dictyophara_ (Dictyophora) 
Germ. contains numerous species already described, but 
no doubt very many new species await their discovery. 
I am sure that especially South America is rich not only 
in new genera allied to the ancient, well known genus 
Dictyophara. My collecting around Estacion Pedregal 
in the western part of the province of Mendoza in the 
year 1906 for an instance gave as a result a new genus, 
Eudictya Mel. with two new species, grata Mel. and 
similis Mel., described in the »Monographie der Dicty- 
ophorinen“ (1912) by Dr. L. Melichar, and in a small col- 
lection of Homoptera from Northern Argentine (Misi- 
ones) I find 2 apparently nondescribed species of Dicty- 
ophara. 
It must be regretted that the above named monograph 
does not give any description of the genital segments in 
the different genera and species of the Diéctyopharine. | 
feel sure that a thorough study especially respecting the 
building of the male genitalia will give most profitable 
results as to accurate determination of genera and species 
of this subfamily as well as to the allied subfamilies. 
The two new species are: 
Dictyophara misionensis n. sp. (Fig. 5 I): Comes near 
to D. confusa Stal, but at once distinguished by having 
but 3 cells in the stigma. Body dark green; fore wings 
subhyaline, with greenish veins. Head with the conical 
prolongation nearly as long as pronotum and mesonotum 
together; lateral margins of frons visible from above; side 
keels of vertex and of process of head strong; median 
keel feeble, indistinct in middle. The space between side 
keels of frons narrowing at base of clypeus and widening
