and by other persons in Maryland, Iowa, Dakota and N. Illinois, 

 Walker refers specimens from Florida to tliis species, and Mr. Boll 

 took a single specimen last year on July 7, in northern Texas. 

 Thomas refers specimens from Colorado ansl Wyoming doubtfully to 

 this species. 



2. Spharagemon BoUi nov. ?p. 



Brownish fuscous, the face with a greyish cinereous (J) or yellow- 

 ish cinereous (?) tinge, distinctly punctate, the jiits dusky or black- 

 ish; antennae brownish yellow on the basal half, infuscated beyond, 

 the whole more or less annulate with dusky yellow and blackish in 

 the male. Tegmina flecked throughout with minute blackish spots, 

 and transversely trifasciate with rather broad blackish clouds, much 

 more distinct in the male than in the female. Wings light gi-eenish 

 yellow at the base, with a broad median arcuate band, blackish or 

 almost piceous in color, sending a broad, shoi-t shoot toward the base, 

 next the upper boi-der. Beyond, the wing is at first hyaline, with 

 broadly blackish fuliginous veins, while the extreme tip is black as 

 the median band. Hind femora dull brownish, quadrifasciate trans- 

 versely with dark brown, more distinctly in male than in female, the 

 basal two-fifths of the hind tibiaj blackish, with a broad whitish 

 annulus, beyond coral red. Crest of pronotum very high, that of 

 the posterior lobe independently arched, much more elevated in front 

 than behind. 



Length of body, d, 28.5 mm., 9, 36.5 mm.; of antenn:©, d", l(i mm., 

 ?, 18 mm.; of tegmina, cf, .S2 mm., ?, 34.5 mm.; of hind femora, cf, 

 18 mm., ?, 20.5 mm. Described from- 4 c?, 4 9. The males taken 

 Sept. 10, the females July 18 and August 18, 21, 23, at Dallas, 

 Texas, by J. Boll. 



Tliis species has been confounded with 5^. (equale, from which it may 

 be readily distinguished by the hind tibite; the tip of the wings is 

 generally darker, and the median band does not approach the anal 

 angle so closely; the tegmina are more distinctly trifasciate, the front 

 half of the median crest of pronotum is less pinched posteriorly, 

 and the hinder half less arched. 



I have specimens also from Vermont, Massachusetts, Maryland 

 and Iowa. They are smaller than those from Texas. 

 3. Spharagemon balteatum nov. sp. 



Grayish fuscous, the face generally pale cinereous, dotted ob- 

 scurely with fuscous ; antennse dusky, paler next the base ; tegmina 

 dull testaceous, the usual ttansverse fascite present but obscure,
