tibial spines slightly paler at tip. Cerci slender, dusky, about as long 

 as the hind tibiaa; ovipositor very much as in the preceding species, 

 castaneous, similarly armed at tip. Length of body, d, 7.25 mm.,

Georgia. This slender species is doubtless nearly allied to N. cu- 

 bensis Sauss., with which it agrees very well in size ; the tegmina 

 however are longer, the head is decidedly more convex, and the last 

 palpal joint is comparatively longer. 



Nemobius socius. Head castaneous, heavily striped with 

 straight longitudinal black bands, and covered with moderately short 

 black bristles, abundant only in front; it is rather full and convex, 

 rising considerably above the level of the pronotum; antennae 

 castaneous at base, dusky beyond, deepening to blackish brown 

 apically. Pronotum blackish, both upper and lower borders of the 

 deflected lobes marked with luteo-castaneous, the surface sparsely 

 covered with rather short black bristles as on the head, the anterior 

 half with a distinct median furrow. Tegmina (9) shining black, the 

 tip, the common margin of the dorsal and lateral fields and the inner 

 border more or less castaneous; they are as long as the body, and 

 the nervules of the dorsal field, or at least the outer ones, curve 

 inward strongly at the well rounded tip. Legs fusco-castaneous, the 

 upper half of the hind femora darker than the rest. Cerci nearly as 

 long as the hind tibiae ; ovipositor as long as the hind femora, the 

 apical field as in iV. viltatus. 9. Length of body, 9.5 mm.; of anten- 

 nae, 11 mm.; of tegmina, 6 mm.; of hind tibiae, 5 mm.; of oviposi- 

 tor, 6.25 mm. 



Georgia. This species is nearly allied to our common N. vittatus, 

 with which it agrees in size, although a little slenderer; the tegmina 

 however are much longer, and the ovipositor proportionally a little 

 shorter. 



Hadenoecus puteanus. Dark fuliginous brown, slightly tinged 

 with castaneous. Head and under surface of body dull luteous; an- 

 tennae luteo -fuscous, darkest on the basal half; palpi slightly infus- 

 cated beyond the base. Upper surface of thorax and abdomen 

 sparsely covered with excessively short hairs, giving it a punctulate 

 appearance. All the femora and tibiae brownish fuscous, the base of 

 the femora and the extreme tips of the tibise a little paler; tarsi, as
