ones on the male pronotum, and from reversalis, the other one of the 

 green, willow species, by the larger size and unmarked face. 



Of the six, anomalous examples mentioned by Van Duzee under the 

 discussion of this species, the three green males were light-faced exam- 

 ples oi reversalis, one female was a suturalis, and the two that " mim- 

 iced the males ' ' were probably examples of gleditscJiia. These being 

 disposed of, the species is found to be fairly constant in the greenish 

 females and brownish elytra in the males.

Slightly shorter and stouter than viridis, green, the males with the 

 elytra tinged with fuscous. Length, ? 4.75 mm.; cJ', 4-4. 25 mm.; 

 width, 1.20 mm. 



Vertex angled about as in viridis, pronotum with distinct rugae, 

 elytra stout, usually compressed behind; color, deep green; the fe- 

 males with the inner and apical margins of the elytra washed with 

 brown, the males lightly washed with fuscous, deeper on the elytra, 

 below green, the propleura unmarked in either sex. 



Occurs on the honey locust in abundance at Ames, Iowa, the 

 adults appearing before the middle of June. This species is much 

 smaller and darker than viridis, the females being very similar to the 

 males of that species in size and color, while the males are still smaller 

 and darker, thus exhibiting the same general sexual variation as in the 

 two preceding species. 



The absence of the spot on the propleura will serve to separate them 

 from all but the female viridis.
