62 NEW NORTH AMERICAN ACRIDIDiE BRUNER. 



atter with a few dots along the overlapping edges. Posterior femoral 

 testaceous, with the usual markings of brown, though less conspicuous 

 than common. The characteristic marking is, however, a dark-brown 

 band commencing at the eyes and extending back to the sides of the 

 prouotum, the upper edge of which it covers and continues across the 

 sides of the meso and meta thorax to the tegmiua, the lower or anterior 

 halves of which it follows almost to their tips. On the pronotum this 

 band is broadly deflected near both edges, sending down an anterior 

 and posterior shoot nearly to the lower edge. Above, this dark band 

 is edged with a narrow one of bright yellow. 



Length of body, 9, 20 n,m ; of auteume, 6 mm ; of pronotum, 4.1 mm ; 

 of tegmina, 17.5" im ; of hind femora, 13 mm . 



Hab. — Southwestern Texas, Carrizo Springs (A. Wadgymar). 



Named for my friend H. S. Budd, of El Paso, Tex., from two female 



specimens. 



Psoloessa ? eurotiae sp. nov. 



A beautiful species that resembles the highly colored Mestobregma 

 pulchella Bruner in its general color and markings. In structure and 

 size very similar to P. coloradensis Thos. 



Head rather small; the vertex depressed, of moderate width, the 

 sulcus quite deep with the bounding walls sharp and arcuate, the me- 

 dian carina} slight; lateral foveohe large, subquadrate ( 9 ) or triangular 

 ( $ ). Face gently arcuate, the frontal costa moderately broad, evenly 

 expanding and shallowly sulcate throughout. Pronotum short, the 

 lateral carime greatly bowed, the last transverse impressed line cutting 

 all three canine a little in advance of the middle; posterior margin very 

 obtuse angled. Tegmiua slightly surpassing ( S ) or not quite reaching 

 ( 9 ) the tip of the abdomen. Posterior femora moderately heavy, not 

 quite reaching the tips of the tegmina. Autenuad rather heavy, joints 

 4-5 about equal, a little shorter than the others. 



General color creamy white with a greenish tinge, conspicuously 

 marked with very dark brown and black spots and bands. On the head 

 the month parts, autennal sulci, a narrow circle around each eye, and a 

 band directed backwards from the middle of the eyes black; on the 

 pronotum a band of medium width along the upper lateral edges which 

 cross over to the disk back of the sulcus, also the lower anterior fourth 

 of the same color; on the thorax all but a narrow white stripe reaching 

 from near the base of the wings to the base of the posterior femora 

 black. Tegmina with a median line of elongate blackish spots and the 

 two edges and apical half infuscated. Posterior femora marked above 

 with three spots aud the apex black, the middle spot the largest and 

 continued over to the inner aud outer faces. There is also a slight basal 

 blotch and a few smaller dots of the same color along the lower edge of 

 the outer face. Posterior tibiae pale yellowish-red more or less infus- 

 cated ; spines with their outer half black. Antenme brunneus inclin-
