34 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
Genus Empoasca Walsh 
E. trifasciata Gillette—Falls Church, Va., June 7, N. Banks. 
E. albolinea Gillette.—Indianola, Nebraska, July 5; Cambridge, Mass., 
July, on maple. 
Joruma new genus 
This genus is intermediate in character between the two main 
groups of Eupterygidae that lack an appendix to the hemely- 
tron. These groups have been distinguished by the characters: 
wing with, and without submarginal vein, respectively. A 
clearer way of expressing the same thought is apical cells of the 
wing closed, and the alternative, apical cells.of the wing open. 
The present genus has one open and one closed apical cell in the 
wing. Venation of tegmen and wing as in Figures 1-2 (kindly 
drawn by J. R. Malloch). Another character of note is that the 
ocelli are so well developed that they may justly be called con- 
spicuous for this small leafhopper; they are on the rondure from 
vertex to front, at about their own diameters from inner mar- 
gins of eyes. 
Other features of this insect probably of generic significance 
are the following. The cross-vein that would form base of first 
apical cell of tegmen is nearly obsolete. There is a row of coarse 
punctures extending about one-third of way across pronotum in 
front of each humeral angle and there is a nearly percurrent 
median impressed line on the vertex. 
The genus is named for John Russell Malloch who is equally 
acute and successful in collecting as he is in the taxonomy of 
insects. 
Genotype the following species: 
Joruma pisca new species 
Head and thorax dark brown above appearing as if underlaid by red- 
dish; tegmina uniformly fumose with dark greenish reflections; most of 
face and legs pale yellow, the upper part of front and anterior part of 
vertex, more or less reddish, sometimes paler just around ocelli; abdomen 
chiefly brown above and pale yellow below with edgings of the alternate 
color; pleural regions more or less reddish. Length: 3 mm. 
Holotype ?, Plummers Id., Md., August 27, 1922, J. R. Malloch; allo- 
type, Glen Echo, Md., August 22, 1922, W. L. McAtee; paratype °, Glen 
Echo, Md., July 23, 1922, J. R. Malloch. A female from San Domingo, 
W. I., 6.8.05, August Busck (U. S. Nat. Mus.), seen only after the pre- 
ceding account was in ms. is made a paratype. Another specimen in too 
poor condition to be included in the type material is from La Ceiba, Hon- 
duras, Aug. 17, 1916, F. J. Dyer. (U. S. N. M.)
