PSYCHE 



[September 1892. 



cosities longitudinal, rarely closely crowded; 

 lateral lobes minutely, closely, and uniformly 

 verruculose on the metazona, nearly smooth 

 on the prozona with a faint quadrate dusky 

 spot. Tegmina ashen, becoming subvitreous 

 apically, heavily blotched with larger and 

 smaller rounded brownish fuscous spots, 

 mostly congregated into basal, median, and 

 postmedian blotches, the apical third with a 

 few smaller indistinct cloudy spots; sutural 

 stripe clear and generally with a rufous 

 tinge; anal vein free. Wings very pale at 

 base with a slight citron tinge, beyond which 

 the nervules are all black, with a broad arcu- 

 ate brownish fuscous or nebulous band, nar- 

 rowing toward the anal margin, connecting 

 with the humeral stripe which is broad and 

 reaches almost to the base, the apex more or 

 less infumate, and below the humeral region 

 often wholly, generally in part, coalescing 

 with the arcuate band. Hind femora dull 

 clav yellow with a transverse basal band and 

 strongly oblique, rather broad, blackish fus- 

 cous median and postmedian bands; hind 

 tibiae and tarsi pale coral red, sometimes 

 with a yellowish tinge, the spines black 

 tipped.

I have separated from the other central 

 Californian species of Sticthippus two females 

 which are certainly very closely allied to it 

 but differ in several particulars which seem 

 to warrant it. In particular the maculations 

 of the tegmina are much more broken up 

 into small spots which though more or less 

 distinctly grouped into three large bands are 

 not so to the same extent and the minor dots 

 are by no means so confused therein, and are 

 also continued with almost equal or equal 

 sharpness to the tip of the tegmina; besides, 

 the anal vein in passing to the margin is 

 more or less entangled and interlocked with 

 the axillary vein; the apical area of the 

 wings, except for the infuscated veins, is 

 hardly clouded but carries at the extreme tip 

 some blackish fuscous maculations. The 

 hind tibiae are clay yellow. The wings 

 appear to be relatively longer and narrower 

 than in H. (6'.) calif ornicus.
