NO. i4(«. ORTHOPTEUA FROM SOVTHEBX ABIZONA—CAVDELL. 407 

 PSOLOESSA BUDDIANA Bruner. 



One male, three females, July 17 to 30. 



A female type of this species is in the U. S. National Museum and, 

 like this series, it has the foveolae visible from above for their entire 

 length, thus differing from the other United States members of the 

 genus, and in this respect allied to the genus St/rajj/cura^ where 

 indeed it may Ijelong. The pronotal structure, however, is that of 

 Psoloessa. Except for the wholly visible foveolje, some of the speci- 

 mens are very close to /■*. ferrug iriea^ but most are much darker than 

 that species. 



STIRAPLEURA PUSILLA Scudder. 



One male, Huachuca Mountains, August 1.'). One female, Nogales, 

 July 1. 



ARPHIA ABERRANS Bruner, new species. 



One male, one female, Nogales, June 24 to 29. One male, two 

 females, Huachuca Mountains, August 12 to 27. 



Professor Bruner has very kindly sent me the following description 

 of this species, which he has previously recognized from a single 

 female taken in the Huaciiuca Mountains by Mr. Kunze. 



His description is as follows: 



ARPHIA ABERRANS, new species. 



• A rather slender, long- winged, grayish ))ro\vn, profusely mottled insect with 

 greenish-yellow wings and rather oonispicuously banded hind femora. 



Head of moderate size, about as wide as the front edge of the pronotum; the ver- 

 tex gently depressed, its srntellum shaliowly sulcate, oval (male) or pyriforni 

 (female), the bounding walls fairly prominent but not high; lateral foveolse tri- 

 angular, inconspicuous, rather flat and more or less filled with rugosities or coarse 

 granules, frontal costa plane, scarcely sulcate, narrowing above to little less than its 

 width at the ocellus and gradually merging into the sulcation of the vertex. Antenn;e 

 filiform, of moderate length. Pronotum a little constricted in advance of the prin- 

 cipal sulcus, the disc moderately coarsely granulate; median carina fairly prominent, 

 straight, cut in advance of the middle; anterior margin a little angulate, the hind 

 margin right-angled. Tegmina of medium width, extending considerably beyond 

 the tip of the abdomen in both sexes, the intercalary vein not especially prominent. 

 Hind femora neither very heavy nor especially slender; about normal for insects of 

 the group. 



General color above, light grayish brown, profusely and rather evenly mottled and 

 streaked with dark brown and dull black; below pale testaceous, the dorsum of the 

 al)domen bluish tinged. Dorsum of prothorax obscurely decussate with i)aier, the 

 sides and head l)ack of eyes longitudinally streaked alternately with darker and 

 paler dashes of brown and gray. Tegmina with the dorsal edge paler and nearly 

 destitute of the otherwise rather general dusky markings. Wings transparent 

 greenish-yellow on disc and along the anterior field nearly to the apex, the latter 

 portion vitreous; fuliginous band rather broad but pale and broken by the radial 

 veins, not quite reaching the anterior edge; taenia quite prominent and reaching 

 nearly to the l^ase. Hind femora thrice obliquely banded with fuscous internally
