18 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
Head slightly wider than pronotum; vertex as long as width between 
the eyes, one-half longer at middle than at eye, margin acute toward the 
apex; front narrow, tapering gradually to base of clypeus; clypeus long, 
nearly twice as long as wide, sides nearly parallel; lorae short, distant from 
border of cheek; cheeks broad, distinctly sinuate beneath the eye. Pronotum 
as long as vertex; scutellum acuminate at tip; claval veins merging near 
base, middle anteapical cell divided by merging of veins. 
Color: Light gray or ivory white; vertex bordered anteriorly with black, 
except at extreme tip; the outer part of the black line enclosing the ocellus. 
Pronotum with three somewhat diffuse spots, scutellum with two dots on 
the base, elytra with a basal dot and a dot before and back of the merged 
veins, a costal spot near the base, another before the nodal vein and the 
apical cells, fuscous or blackish; face with base of front densely black, the 
remainder of front with clypeus, lorae and lower part of cheek, white; a 
large squarish spot below the eye, reaching antennal pit, black; thorax and 
abdomen white with a black dot on the pleural pieces, a black band at apex 
of femora, and black dots on the hind tibiae, and black rings on the hind 
tarsi. 
Genitalia: Male, valve narrow, rounded behind; plates small triangular, 
about one-half the length of pygofer. 
Described from a single specimen, collected at ‘‘Cameron, La., Aug. 
14-28, 1903”, by Prof. J. S. Hine. 
This is a handsome little species, somewhat resembling arundineus, but 
differing so much in the color pattern, especially on the face, that it seems 
impossible to refer it to that species. There is also a distinct difference in 
the male genitalia. 
Lonatura notata, n. sp. 
Pale straw color, with numerous black dots on pronotum, elytra and 
abdomen. Length, female 4 mm; male 3.5 to 3.75 mm. 
Head slightly wider than pronotum, distinctly produced, subconical; 
vertex somewhat flattened, but convex, as long as width between the eyes, 
nearly twice longer at the middle than next the eye; front narrowing rather 
abruptly to clypeus; clypeus broad, about one-half longer than width at 
base, scarcely widened at the middle; lorae elongate, the tips distant from 
border of the cheek; cheeks narrow, the margin sinuate beneath the eye. 
Pronotum about three-fourths as long as vertex, hind border slightly con- 
cave; scutellum small, short; elytra scarcely reaching base of abdomen, 
hind border truncate, leaving entire upper surface of abdomen exposed. 
Color: Light straw; vertex with three pairs of faintly fuscous spots; 
two dots on the anterior border, a larger spot at the lateral border, two 
dots at base of scutellum, a large dot on clavus, a similar one at middle 
of hind border of elytra, and eight series of dots on the abdominal seg- 
ments, a dot on anterior femora, a line on the hind femora, dots on the 
hind tibiae and tarsal claws dark fuscous or black. 
Genitalia: Female, last ventral segment short, concave behind, with a 
central broad tooth notched at the apex; ovipositor scarcely exceeding the 
pygofer. Male, valve short, rounded behind; plates small, triangular, acute 
at tip, reaching half way to end of pygofer.
