While this species seems quite certainly to be an Agallia, especially 

 from the description of Berg, lack of access to the original description 

 of Stal leaves some doubt as to the specific determination. A species 

 represented in our material by a number of examples from Southern 

 California and Palo Alto, Cal., should probably be referred here and 

 they would fall under the third division of the synopsis next to san- 

 guinolenta, from which they may be separated by the larger size, longer 

 elytra, and female segment and the tubular plates in the male.

Macropsis apicalis n. sp. (Plate II., Fig. i.) 



Form of robiistiis nearly, somewhat larger, elytra longer ; green,

 Length, 9, 5 mm.; c?, 4-5 mm.; width, $,1.8 mm.; c?, 1.3 mm. 



Vertex over three times wider than long, as long as the eye, margins 

 parallel, slightly curved, anterior margin rounding to the face, face 

 half wider than long, front tumid, clypeus and gense flat. Pronotum

 than long, side margins very long, carinate, surface with fine but dis- 

 tinct transverse striations, scutellum large, transversely striate, elytra 

 full three times longer than wide, margins nearly parallel, less convex 

 than in robustus, clavus with the apex obliquely truncate, inner apical 

 cell wanting, confluent with the broad appendix, the marginal nerve 

 becoming obsolete not far from the base, fourth apical cell narrow at 

 the apex, next two short, broad behind, three anteapical cells, the 

 outer one smallest, whole surface of elytra except the broad appendix 

 clothed with short, remote hairs.
