ivory white; tricarinate, the lateral carinae marginal, strongly ele- 

 vated; the marginal carinae dotted with white; clypeus short, conical, 

 yellowish-brown, an indefinite whitish band crossing the base; tip of 

 the rostrum black. Pronotum very short, almost linear, tricarinate. 

 Scutellum much longer than the pronotum and vertex together, tri- 

 carinate, the lateral carinae rectilinear, very slightly diverging pos- 

 teriorly; obscure dirty rufous; tip of the scutellum, a chain of 

 points on the pronotum and a few on the vertex whitish. Elytra 

 with a large costal spot or indistinct transverse band on the basal 

 third obscure rufopiceous, behind this dark band is a broad indefinite 

 whitish band; nervures mostly dotted, the dots on the costa and 

 commissure larger; commissure with four more or less distinct 

 black points, two on either margin of the whitish band; elytra at 

 margin of suture adjoining the scutellum whitish. Wings smoky- 

 hyaline. Legs testaceous, with dorsal spines black. 



Length of body 2.5 mm.; length to tip of elytra 4.i> 5 mm.; width 

 across the elytra 1.5 2 mm. 



Redescribed from two specimens taken by C. J. Drake 

 at Gainesville, Fla., June 30 and July 4, 1918, and several 

 taken by the writer by beating shrubbery in mixed pine 

 and deciduous woods at Port Gibson, Miss., July 23, 1921, 

 and a single specimen from Biloxi, Miss., Aug. 1, 1921. A 

 specimen was collected by C. J. Drake while sweeping at 

 Aberdeen, Miss., June 25, 1921. 



Catonia bicinctura VAN DUZEE 

 (1915 Pomona Jr. Ent. Zool., vii, p. 119). 



Known heretofore only from Florida. A specimen of 

 what appears to be this species in Prof. Osborn's collection 

 was collected by C. P. Alexander at Freyberg, Maine, Sept. 

 5, 1913. Most closely related to picta but is darker in color 

 and has the facial bands narrower. 



General color fuscous brown with the vertex, pronotum, middle 

 of the anterior margin and apex of the scutellum paler. Head slightly 

 longer than in our other species. Vertex distinctly longer than in 

 picta and narrowed anteriorly, apical margin subapgularly rounded; 

 front a little narrower, more contracted at base with the sides a 

 little more arcuated; the middle of the front fulvous, a shade darker 

 than the base and clypeus, this darker band bounded by a straight 

 clean-cut whitish band between the antennae, and a feebly curved 

 one on the base of the clypeus; these bands about one-half the 

 width of those seen in picta, the lower band is carried across the 

 propleurae as a slender oblique white line; marginal carinae ob- 

 scurely dotted. Pronotum with about four short longitudinal pale 

 carinae behind the eyes. Scutellum immaculate except for the paler 

 apex and anterior margin. Elytra slightly paler toward the costa, ner-
