for the spots on the vertex and scutellum and the terminal nervures. 

 Length, 9, 3-3-25 mm.; width, 2.25 mm. or over. 



Vertex distinctly broader and shorter than in sanguine lenta, the eyes 

 much wider than the. pronotum. Face somewhat longer than wide, 

 the genae scarcely angulate, frontal suture strongly arcuated, indistinct. 

 Front longer than breadth at base, scarcely wider than the clypeus 

 below. Pronotum more than twice wider than long, humeral margin 

 nearly straight, touching eye, posterior margin long. Elytra long and 

 narrow, portion of corium extending beyond tip of clavus being longer 

 than its width at base, apical cells long, central anteapical cell extend- 

 ing posteriorly much farther than adjacent ones. 



Color: Pale grayish-brown tinged with yellowish on pronotum and 

 vertex, two sharp round spots on vertex and two triangular ones just 

 inside the basal angle of scutellum projected forward and slightly 

 visible through the semi transparent pronotum, black, sometimes a 

 transverse line on scutellum and an irregular impressed one back of 

 anteriormargin of pronotum, dark-brown. Face pale-yellowish, some- 

 times suffused with reddish-brown, a few pale arcs on the front, ocelli 

 red, basal two-thirds of elytra light-gray with indistinct nervures, 

 apical third subhyaline with distinct dark nerves, usually an interrup- 

 tion on the outer claval nerve and a narrow line margining the light 

 sutural line, fuscous. 



Genitalia : 9, ultimate ventral segment as long as breadth at base, 

 very slightly narrowed posteriorly, the posterior margin with a deep 

 roundingly triangular notch reaching over one third the distance to 

 the base, pygofers short and stout, scarcely exceeding the apex of the 

 clavus; (^ valve short, posterior margin truncate, lateral margin oblique, 

 plates longer than broad, slightly narrowing and cupping to the trun- 

 cate tip, their base enclosed by the inflated pygofers, which slightly 

 exceed them in length and meet behind in a slight keel. 



Specimens are at hand from Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and 

 it was collected at Siuux City, Iowa, from hill-top, July 7th. 



Readily separated by the length of the elytra and by the single deep 

 notch in female segment. 



Agallia gillettei n. sp. 



Form narrower and more wedge-shaped than sanguinolenta, elytra 

 narrower and longer, pattern of ornamentation similar but less dis- 

 tinct, elytra without transverse bands. Length, ?, 2.75-3 "^"^-j width, 

 less than 1.25 mm.; d^ slightly smaller.
