36 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
in this respect some of the European species of Eupteryx. The 
scutellum and parts anterior are sooty fuscous (the eyes some- 
what reddish) ; the tegmen is pale yellow, with the extreme base 
of clavus sooty and a fuscous mark beginning at apical third of 
clavus, skirting costal plaque and covering remainder of the 
surface posteriorly except for the following clear areoles: a 
small one on radial margin in apex of clavus; a larger one in the 
end of each sectorial area; the extremely large first apical cell 
almost entirely; three small round spots in second apical cell, 
two of them on margin, one at exterior angle; three large and 
two small spots in basal two-thirds of third apical cell, and the 
apex of this cell; a large spot basally, connecting with radial 
margin in fourth apical cell and two small round spots toward the 
apex. Moderately wide margin of pronotum and head as seen 
from below sooty brown, a narrow line between eyes, and re- 
mainder of lower parts, including legs, but excluding the sooty 
brown genitalia, pale yellow. Venation. of. tegmen of the 
vulnerata type; vertex longer than wide between the eyes, blunt.

Erythroneura erosa new species 
Venation resembles that of obliqua Say. In two specimens examined 
a vitta covering more or less of vertex, middle part of pronotum and most 
of scutellum; differs considerably in details; in one specimen this vitta is 
sanguineous (nearly orange on posterior part of pronotum), is underlaid 
by dark stripes along inner margins of eyes, and by three pairs of dusky 
spots, one pair near front of vertex, a pair of smaller ones just behind, 
and a pair larger than either of the others near front of pronotum. In 
the other specimen the vertex is yellow, with only the anterior pair of 
spots and median line posteriorly dusky, posterior disk reddish; front of 
pronotum dusky, two large discal spots scarlet; anterior disk and extreme 
lateral angles of scutelluam and margins of pronotum pale yellow; ground 
color of tegmina greenish yellow, clavus with two large oblong blotches 
on basal two-thirds, and corium with a single similar blotch exterior to 
hind part of clavus, and another just posterior, coral-red (glossy spec- 
trum red in one specimen). All of these spots have their edges ragged 
or erose. Apical cells, apex of clavus, and hind part of costal plaque dusky 
fumose; a band of coral-red spots over cross veins in one _ specimen. 
Length 3 mm.
