1909 and was listed as "Resthenia sp." It differs from Reuter's 

 description of his genus Opisthuria only in having the lorse well dis- 

 tinguished from the lower cheeks and the base of the scutellum cov- 

 ered, but these characters alone would scarcely seem sufficient for 

 the establishment of a new genus. 



Creontiades dehilis n. sp. 



Smaller and slighter than rubrinerve ; pale yellowish-testaceous 

 with the tibiae more or less green. Length 6 mm. 



Head about as in ruhrinerve, but with the vertex more prominent 

 before and separated from the clypeus by a very deep incision. 

 Basal joint of the antenns stout, fusiform, the remaining joints 

 more slender, subequal in thickness. Pronotum proportionately 

 broader, the costa very slightly arcuated. Rostrum attaining the 

 apex of the hind coxae. Color a pale yellowish-testaceous or almost 

 whitish, with a faint tinge of green in places, especially on the tibiae 

 and tarsi and on the commissural nervure of the elytra; extreme 

 apex of the scutellum fuscous. Eyes and tarsal claws brown; apex 

 of the rostrum black. 



Described from two females and one mutilated specimen taken 

 on Tybee Island, Georgia, July 26th, 1913, by Prof. J. C. Bradley. 

 At Estero, Florida, I took one male, which differs only in being a 

 little stouter and more opaque, with the vertex, base of the antennae 

 and the pronotum touched with sanguineous and the tip of the 

 scutellum concolorous, not fuscous as in the types. In this male the 

 tibiae and tarsi are green, as in the type female, and I believe it will 

 prove to be the male of this species. It is possible the type females 

 may be somewhat teneral. 



Platylygus n. gen. 



Closely allied to Caviptochilella Reut, but with the head longer 

 and more porrect. 



Body oblong, polished; head and scutellum minutely transversely 

 rugose ; pronotum and elytra punctate. Head produced, strongly 

 oblique; one-half as wide as the base of the pronotum; anterior pro- 

 notal angle at the middle of the eyes; viewed from above the head 

 is but little shorter than the pronotum, its length about equal to its
