  A 
  specimen 
  receixed 
  

   from 
  Professor 
  Davis 
  is 
  

   interesting 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  

   the 
  dark 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  mid- 
  

   dle 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  being 
  

   extended 
  forward 
  to 
  the 
  

   scutellum, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  only 
  

   yellow 
  i)ortion 
  of 
  the 
  basal 
  

   half 
  of 
  the 
  elvtron 
  is 
  a 
  

  

  TYPHLOCYBA 
  CREVECCEURI, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Color 
  light 
  yellow, 
  basal 
  two-thirds 
  of 
  elytra 
  red; 
  length 
  3 
  mm. 
  

  

  Facfe 
  yellowish, 
  suffused 
  with 
  reddish, 
  sutures 
  indistinct, 
  \eitex 
  

   rather 
  strongly 
  produced 
  and 
  angular, 
  not 
  broadly 
  rounded 
  in 
  IVoiit; 
  

   vertex 
  and 
  [)ronotum 
  straw 
  yellow, 
  with 
  two 
  broad 
  longitudinal 
  red 
  

   lines; 
  these 
  lines 
  upon 
  the 
  vertex 
  are 
  so 
  broadened 
  in 
  some 
  specimens 
  

   as 
  to 
  completely 
  cover 
  it. 
  Scutellum 
  entirely 
  red, 
  or 
  in 
  some 
  si)ecimens 
  

   almost 
  black 
  ; 
  elytra 
  yellow 
  beyoiul 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  clavus, 
  and 
  with 
  more 
  

   or 
  less 
  yellow 
  on 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  margin, 
  the 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  

   elytra 
  red. 
  In 
  most 
  specimens, 
  however, 
  the 
  middle 
  portion 
  of 
  this 
  

   large 
  reddish 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  more 
  smoky 
  than 
  red 
  in 
  color. 
  The 
  

   inner 
  transverse 
  nervure 
  is 
  very 
  oblique 
  and 
  the 
  middle 
  apical 
  cell 
  is
