frail but interesting insects, and probably more new forms will 

 be found. 



Heidemannia cixiiformis, Uhler. 



Description of the nymph. — General outline of a capsid larva. Head 

 shaped as in the adult, deeply set into the thorax. Pronotum short 

 but very broad ; mesonotum large, a longitudinal sharply cut line i.n 

 the middle. Wing pads broadly rounded at apex, reaching to the 

 fourth abdominal segment ; the third segment carries a small blackish 

 tubercle. The whole body is covered but sparingly with short golden 

 pubescence. Color yellowish brown, spotted with darker brown in 

 irregular patterns. First antennal joint very short, yellowish, the 

 second joint banded with brown towards the apex, third joint blackish. 

 Some dark dots on each side of the abdominal segments dorsally. 

 Legs black, with a yellowish band at base of tibiae and before the 

 apex; tarsal joints brownish. Sides of pronotum vividly yellowish 

 marked. Ocelli very near together at the narrow vertex. Length, 2 

 mm.; width, 1.2 mm. 



One specimen, Plummers Island, Maryland, July 6, 1907 

 (Heidemann). 



Isometopus pulchellus, n. sp, (fig. 7, a). 



Head, seen from above, very short, depressed and rounded in front; 

 at the occiput two ocelli plainly visible, placed nearer to the eyes than 

 to each other. Antennae inserted on the underside of head, distant from 

 the eyes, near the prominent, brownish tylus, as long as the distance 

 from head to tip of scutellum; first joint very short; second joint 

 longest, thickened towards the apical part; last two joints, taken to- 

 gether, only half the size of the preceding one and much thinner. Eyes 

 reniform, somewhat flattened in front, very large, almost covering sides 

 of head. Pronotum a little more than twice as broad as long, the 

 sides quite broadly reflexed and rounded anteriorly; a transverse, nar- 

 row ridge before the anterior margin, not reaching the sides ; the 

 surface roughly, deeply punctured in irregular rows. Scutellum rather 

 short, as broad as long, somewhat elevated above the elytra, a little 

 excavated at base, the sides very steep. Elytra quite broad; costal 

 margins evenly rounded, reflexed, and in their whole length somewhat 

 grooved. Membrane with two cells, whitish, iridescent. Rostrum 

 strong, long, reaching the abdomen. The whole body is covered with 

 close, short hairs, those on the elytra very fine, appressed to the sur- 

 face. Head, pronotum, scutellum, basal part of clavus, first antennal 

 joint, and the two terminal ones, dorsal part of abdomen, base of venter, 

 and all the sternal pieces glossy, dark-brown in color; there are also 

 two brown spots on the tip of clavus and two other depressed spots 

 on inner side of corium above cuneus. All other parts of body, elytra.
