CAPNOBOTES OCCIDENTALIS var. UNIFORMIS, new variety. 



De8crij)tlon. — Male, female unknown — veiy like the preceding- form, 

 Imt the color is uniformly greeni.sh, the elj'tra without the usual row 

 of oblique spots along- the disk. The elytra are also considerabh' less 

 elongate than in var. viridis^ giving the insect quite a different appear- 

 ance. The cerci are essentially like those of viridh. 



Measurement.'i. — Length, pronotum, 0.75 mm.; posterior femora, 2(!; 

 el3'tra, 42; width, pronotum across the metazona, 4.5; elytra at widest 

 part, 7.5; elytra 5 from apex. 5.25: posterior femora at widest point, 

 3.25. 



Type.—Q^t. No. 1016H, U. S. National Museum. 



Speci.nieihs examined. — One male, Los Angeles County, California, 

 Jul3\ (Coquillett.) 



This insect is described as a variety of ore id en talis with considerable 

 dou])t. The uniform color and less slender elytra give it a ver}' dis- 

 tinctive appearance and when more material from the west is studied 

 it may prove to be a distinct species. The form of the elytra is very 

 like that of AnoploduKa arir^onensi-s Rehn.

 formly brown, the row of oblique discal spots scarcely noticable (tig. 24); 

 wings fuliginous in heavy reticulations, not so opaque as mfidt(j!no.-<a. 

 nor so transparent as in occ (dental is ^ comparatively broader than in 

 fuliginom. All the femora spined beneath on both sides for the 

 greater part of the length with short stout spines; anterior tibias 

 armed above on the outer side onl\' with three or four spines, the type 

 having three on one tibia and 

 four on the other. Ovipos-
