_ Van Duzee notes * Gillette’s rediscovery of Say’s T. albipennis in 
Colorado, proposing the name sayi in place of albipennis, the latter being 
preoccupied in the genus. I take this opportunity to extend its hitherto 
known range by recording the collection of three fine female specimens of 
sayi at Fort Brown, Brownsville, Tex., November 29 and December 9, 
1910, by Mr. Hart. 
3. GatcupHA A. &S. 
I have placed in this genus all entirely black species of Thyreocorinae 
which have the following characters: all the femora with short stout 
spines on the antero-ventral surface; the hind tibia with 5 series of spines 
and with a longitudinal carina from base to apex; and the spiracles on all 
abdominal segments except the last in a nearly straight row. 
Key TO SPECIES 
NYMPHS 
Glossy black species; head almost entirely impunctate; abdomen glossy black 
except a narrow submarginal stripe on each side of dorsum and venter.......

IMAGINES
