brown color this is quite distinct from any other species yet de- 

 scribed. Were it not for its small size it might be presumed 

 to be the male of nianiiorata. 



i). EUTETTIX SLOSSONI, n. sp. 



Form and size of luj-ida to which it is closely allied Face whitish 

 tinged with fulvoii"^ on the clypeus and disc of the front ; a dash below the 

 lower angle of the eye, a point at the base of the antennae and a broad 

 transverse band on the base of the front, black, the latter bisected by a pale 

 median longitudinal line. Eyes rufous. Vertex, pronotum and scutelhim 

 pale yellowish, an obscure interrupted band near the base of the pronotum 

 and a few clouds on the basal field of the scutelhmi fulvous. Elytra whitish 

 hyahne, nervures and broad basal and sutural margins fulvous, deepened 

 in color next the commissural nervure and interrupted by the pale tips of 

 the two claval nervures and a common large oval greenish-white commis- 

 sural spot just anterior to the tip of the clavus; apical areoles embrowned. 

 Wings hyaline, smoky at tip and somewhat iridescent. Below whitish, pec- 

 toral pieces and base of the venter with a large black spot. Tergum yellow, 

 ish becoming fulvous posteriorly and banded with black on the third, fourth 

 and fifth segments. Pygofers fulvous, nearly equalling the oviduct. Last 

 ventral segment pale, posterior margin excavated either side of an obtuse 

 median tooth almost exactly as m hirida. Length 5^ mm. 



Described from one female specimen captured at Charlotte 

 Harbor, Florida, by Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson to whom I 

 take pleasure in dedicating' this interesting- form. It is a typical 

 Eutettix agreeing with lurida in most of its characters. The 

 elytra are marked somewhat as in inarmorata but it is smaller. 

 The broad black bisected band on the apex of the head will dis- 

 tinguish this from all our other described species of Eutettix. 



10. SCAPHOIDEUS LUTEOLUS, n. sp. 



Form and size of aurom'tens. Dull fulvous-brown, brighter on the 

 vertex and scutellum ; apex of the head and base of the vertex whitish in 

 the males, tinged with fulvous in the females; anterior edge of the head 

 with about three concentric black lines, one above connecting the ocelli, 

 another on the extreme edge and the other below at the base of the front. 

 Below pale tawny yellow, tinged with fulvous on the face and marked 

 with a few pale arcs toward the base of the front, apex of the scutellum 

 paler, in the female whitish and calloused. Membrane of the el\ tra paler 

 with a broad fuscous cloud at apex, the postnodal cell subhyaline, nervu- 

 res fuscous heavily margined beyond the middle. Wings smoky with 

 strong fuscous nervures. Posterior feet banded with fuscous at the tip of 

 the tibia and base of the second tarsal jomt. Abdomen in the male black- 

 ish, the segments narrowly edged with pale, last ventral segment and 

 genital pieces pale, the former dusky at apex, tip of the pygofers blackish. 

 The female has the abdomen concolorous with the breast with the seg-
