rounded milk white area partly surrounded by a more or less imper- 

 fect carmine border which is more distinct near the costa. Some 

 of the apical veins are smoky bordered and at the base of one ot fhe 

 apical cells is a large round black dot.

Typhlocyba pseudo=obliqua n. sp. 



Length 3.5 mm. Color very pale yellowish with red markings. 

 Two separate long-itudinal bands on vertex next eyes are extended 

 straight caudad across pronotum. Lateral margins of pronotum 

 red. Lateral angles of scutel and a median line red. A transverse 

 red band passes across clavus just proxtmad ot the angle. An ob- 

 lique red stripe starts from basal fourth of costa and passes across 

 apical third of clavus. Another red stripe starts from half of costa 

 and runs obliquely to distal point of clavus. Elytra translucent 

 proximally, but transparent distally. 



Collected at Managua. Nicaragua, by the author. Like obliqua 

 in general appearance, but smaller, and the markings arranged 

 very differently. 



Typhlocyba bimaculata n sp. 



I had set this species aside as a OVa(/«/a. It had the general 

 habitus of that genus, also the general color of some Cicadti/a, and 

 seemed too large and coarse for a Typhlocy bid. But the venation 

 is that of Typhlocyba, even to the absence of a marginal vein in the 

 wings. 



Length 3.5 mm. Color yellowish, the pronotum darker. Two 

 large round black spots occur on the short, broadly rounded vertex. 

 Two rounded black spots occur near basal angles of scutel. Area 

 of apical c*'lls transparent; the rest of the elytron golden translu- 

 cent. Tergum mostly black. Hind margin of last ventral segment 

 of female roundly produced at middle where it is brown. 



Collected at Champerico, Guatemala, and at Acapulco, Mexico, 

 by the author. 



NOTES ON MACROPSIS. 



C. F. BAKER. 



In Psyche, Vol. IX, p. 55, I described Mncropsis idio- 

 ceroides, which of known genera could only be placed in 

 Macropsis. From that genus it differed in some very 

 striking characters, notably in the position of the lateral
