clypeus; three prominent, longitudinal carinae, the lateral ones almost 

 attaining the clypeal margin, diverging toward the base where they 

 roundingly converge and meet in an obtuse angle, and together with 

 the marginal carinae are marked with black. Eyes reddish-brown. 

 Pronotum and scutellum tricarinate, those of the latter converging 

 and meeting before attaining the anterior margin. Elytra long and 

 narrow, pale greenish hyaline, with the nervures green. 



Sides of the male genital segment slightly oblique at the apex, 

 the dorsal angle very obtusely rounded. 



Female valve short, transverse, and oblique within; the plates 

 oblong, rounded at apex, oblique, and not attaining the apex of the 

 pygofers. 



Length of body 8.25 mm.; length to tip of elytra 12.50 mm. 



Redescribed from a series of both sexes taken by the 

 writer by sweeping coarse grasses in low places at Fruit- 

 land Park, Aug. 17, 1920, Harvey, Aug. 20, 1920, and 

 Greenville, Miss., Sept. 15, 1921. The writer also swept 

 this species in great abundance from grasses on floor of 

 high longleaf pine land at Columbia, So. Car., Aug. 17, 

 1917. C. J. Drake collected a number at Gainesville, Fla., 

 July 4, 1918. 



Dictyophora lingula VAN DUZEE 

 (1907 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., lix, p. 470). 

 Recorded from N. J., N. C. and Florida. 

 Very closely allied to florens, the vertex is of about the 

 same length but the frontal carinae are without black 

 markings near the base. 



Body pale green. Vertex a little more produced than in florens, 

 the carinae distinct. Frons somewhat broader, its sides almost recti- 

 linear, the three discal carinae prominent, slightly diverging to a 

 point before the anterior angle of the eyes, then deflected and running 

 straight to the apex where they unite in an acute angle. The beak or 

 rostrum is longer than in florens, distinctly surpassing the posterior 

 trochanters. Pronotum and scutellum tricarinate, the carinae on the 

 latter more parallel than in florens and almost continuous with those 

 of the pronotum. Elytra a little narrower and more slender, with a 

 closer venation at the apex, pale hyaline green. Legs pale green, 

 the tibiae tinged with rufous. 



Sides of the male pygofer very oblique, extended to a subacute 

 angle dorsally; the plates long, ovate, obtuse at apex and attaining 

 the tip of the pygofers. 



Female valves longer than broad, parallel at base within; the 

 plates long and strap-shaped, curved upwards and reaching the apex 

 of the pygofers.
