THE UNIVERSITY SCIENCE BULLETIN. 



Color: Vertex, front, face, anterior margin of pronotum and under 

 side, yellowish; posterior part of pronotum and elytra bluish or bluish- 

 green. Front with short median line, two broken lateral lines and 

 margin, black. Clypeus black medially at apex; vertex with spot at apex, 

 in the middle, outside of each ocellus, and a crescent on each side an- 

 teriorly, black. Pronotum with seven black dots near anterior margin 

 and three on basal half. Nervures of elytra black. 



External genitalia: Female, last ventral segment much longer than 

 broad, about three times as long as penultimate segment, keeled, pos- 

 terior margin greatly and acutely produced; pygofers very long and 

 narrow, exceeding the ovipositor. Male, last ventral segment longer than 

 preceding one, anterior and posterior margins parallel, as are the lateral 

 margins; plates very long and slender, acutely pointed, and with row 

 of stout hairs or spines along margin, slightly exceeded by the long and 

 narrow pygofers. 



Internal male gemtalia: Styles small, basal portion heavier, posterior 

 portion slender, curved, terminating acutely; connective slender, Y-shaped, 

 the stem of the Y broadened basally; cedagus with broad, rather truncate 

 base, a stout, blunt process running dorsad, and a pair of larger, broad- 

 based, and acutely pointed, dorsally directed, terminal processes. 



Distribution: Has not yet been reported from Kansas, but 

 should occur in southern part of the state. 



Hosts: Essig reports this species as a general feeder on such 

 plants as grape, blackberry, raspberry, sunflower, etc. 



This species so closely fits Signoret's description of Tetti- 

 gonia atropunctata, that, with Dr. E. D. Ball, we do not follow 

 Van Duzee's synonomy.

This species, though surely in Kansas, has seemingly not yet been taken. 

 It is a long narrow form, about 6 mm. in length. The color is yellow, 

 and it may be readily recognized by the longitudinal, brown stripes, four 

 on the vertex, five on the pronotum, and with the elytra also striped. 

 Female, last ventral segment less than twice as long as preceding one, 

 posterior margin obtusely rounding or truncate; pygofers long and
