one terminating about two-thirds the distance from the base, 

 the dorsal one not quite reaching the apex; two carinae on dorsal 

 surface extending full length, a slight short median carina be- 

 tween the eyes. The clypeus has median and lateral carinae 

 corresponding with those of ventral side of prolongation of head. 

 Antenna has second joint cylindrical, longer than first, and well 

 supplied with sense organs. Head narrower than thorax. Pro- 

 no tum has three carinae, the lateral ones straight, diverging and 

 reaching the posterior margin; carinae of scutellum similar to 

 those of pronotum. Posterior tarsi shorter than their tibiae. 



Dictyophorodelphax mirabilis sp, no v. 



Length from apex of pi^olongation of head to apex of abdo- 

 m.en 8 mm. ; prolongation 4 mm. Testaceous; clypeus and apex of 

 rostrum black; eyes dark drown, very little excavated below; 

 black line on anterior of first segment of antenna, brown spot 

 on cheek below antenna; prolongation of head with the outer 

 two-fifths bent slightly downward, blunt at apex, carinae with 

 black line on edges and hairy along their bases. Pronotum and 

 scutellum brown outside of lateral carinae ; abdomen with brown 

 markings on sides of segments. Tegmina pale testaceous, 

 nearly transparent, oblong, not quite reaching the apex of ab- 

 domen; veins with scattered dark brown dots, a series of dark 

 brown spots on termen between veins, an elongate spot on costal 

 margin, and also on sutural margin but a short distance from ter- 

 men, the one on sutural margin the longer and farther from ter- 

 men; wings absent. 



Femora and tibiae lineated with dark brown or black; an- 

 terior and intermediate tibiae black-ringed near apex; anterior 

 and intermediate tarsi; brown, black at apex; posterior tarsi 

 brown at apex of first segment, black at apex of last segment. 

 Calcar at apex of posterior tibia about three-fourths length of 

 first segment of tarsus, 7 to 8 teeth, these and the two spines on 

 outer side of tibia at apex of tibiae and at apices of first and second 

 joints of tarsi black-tipped. Anal tube large, style small, in- 

 cluded. Ovipositor pale. Py gofers of male truncate, with a 

 large ventral notch ; styles broad, laterally compressed, near to- 

 gether, their tips very slender and bent upwards nearly at right
