Athysanus galbanatus Southwick, Sci., 19, p. 288, (1892). 



Yellowish green in color, size of viridius, but with a more 

 angulate vertex. Length, 6 to 6.5 mm. 



Vertex slightly wider than pronotum, obtusely angled, one and 

 one-half times as long on middle as next the eye. Front rather 

 long and narrow, cheeks obtusely angled below the eyes, the edge 

 straight from the angle to the tip of the clypeus forming a narrow 

 margin beyond the lorae. Clypeus broad, slightly widened apically. 

 Anterior margin of pronotum strongly convex, slightly concave 

 posteriorly. 



Color: Pale yellowish green, almost uniform. Elytra hyaline, 

 slightly iridescent, costa green; tergum usually embrowned, 

 margins yellowish. Wings light, nervures slender, pale brown. 

 Eyes and tips of tarsi black. 



Genitalia: Last ventral segment of the female long, with a 

 rather broad Ungulate incisure reaching nearly to the base and 

 forming a broadly rounded lobe on either side, the inner angles 

 of which may be either rounded or more angulate. Pygofers 

 slightly exceeded by ovipositor, apex clothed with stout bristles. 

 Male valve a little longer than preceding segment, obtusely 

 angled; plates long, evenly, convexly rounded from the base to 

 the apex, outer margin thickly clothed with fine hairs. 



This species is one of the commonest and most widely dis- 

 tributed of any belonging to the genus. Specimens are at hand 

 from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Dakota, 

 Montana, Iowa, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and 

 Louisiana. It has been collected in Maine and Maryland, in most 

 of the gulf states and is distributed throughout the southwest, 

 extending into Mexico. In many states it occurs in great 

 abundance. Specimens in the Osborn collection were compared 

 with types in the Iowa State College collection.
