AUTUMN NUMBER 19 
mens at Ocean Springs and Pascagoula, Mississippi, during February, 1921. 
The species occurs in the flat-woods association on native grass, and is 
probably a grass feeder. Numerous black dots on the upper surface seem 
to be a distinctive character. Only short-winged forms have been noted, so 
that the venation of long-winged forms, if they occur, has not been seen. 
Euscelis (Athysanus) fumidus n. sp. 
Somewhat like magnus but much darker, smoky black, the entire sur- 
face appearing suffused with a deep brown-black color. Length, male 
6.25 mm. 
Head wider than pronotum, vertex short, scarcely longer on middle than 
next the eye, very obtusely rounded to front, front broad, subangulate at 
antennae, narrowed abruptly to clypeus; clypeus nearly twice as long as 
wide, cheek broadly rounded below the eye. Pronotum distinctly transversely 
striate. Posterior border shallowly concave. 
Color: Dark fuscous with small obscure yellowish irrorations; vertex 
lighter, yellowish with fuscous irrorations; front lighter above, darker be- 
low with obscure pale arcs; clypeus nearly black; lorae and cheeks blackish 
smoky, the whole irrorate with minute yellowish dots. Pronotum scutellum 
and elytra blackish with minute yellowish dots. Legs blackish with spines 
somewhat lighter, venter blackish with a central row of light dots. 
Genitalia: Male valve small, short, obtusely angulate behind; plates 
small elongate triangular, tips acute, black, with a row of lighter bristles on 
-the margin. 
One specimen, male (type) of this peculiar species from Chester, Ga. 
This has the appearance of a Phlepsius and might be considered as related 
to P. latifrons but it is evidently congeneric with magnus. It is distinctly 
different from this species in the absence of the white band on the pronotum 
and the white costa, as well as in the intense pitchy black color. If an 
extreme form of magnus it will have to be recognized as a distinct variety. 
Euscelis (Athysanus) drakei, n. sp. 
Related to magnus and fumidus with a yellowish band behind the mid- 
dle of pronotum and four milky spots on elytra. Length 6.25 mm, 6 mm. 
Head wider than pronotum. Vertex very short, margins parallel; disc 
convex rounded to the front; front convex except slight depression at base, 
front about as broad as long, suture below ocellus distant from eye, obtusely 
angled at eye; clypeus tip scarcely wider than base; lorae rather broad, not 
reaching margin of cheek; cheek broad, sinuate below eye; pronotum broad; 
anterior margin broadly arcuate, hind margin slightly concave, lateral 
margin flaring and sharply carinate. Elytra densely reticulate, somewhat 
rugose, scarcely exceeding tip of abdomen. 
Color: Smoky brown to fuscous. Vertex tawny with minute fulvous 
dots; upper portion of face like vertex; front below minutely dotted with 
tawny; arcs faintly indicated; cheeks darker on the margins. Pronotum 
dark brown to fuscous; posterior border somewhat darker, with a broad 
yellowish band behind the middle, the whole minutely sprinkled with tawny 
dots. Scutellum tawny with yellow dots. Elytra smoky, minutely dotted with 
fuscous; two white patches on the middle of clavus and two on the inner 
anteapical cell, the anterior just below claval spot.
