Draeculacephala bradleyi n. sp. 



Allied to balli but averaging smaller. Length 5-6 mm. 



Vertex long; of the female one- fourth longer than the pronotum, 

 of the male scarcely longer ; sides rectilinear. Front viewed from the 

 side very feebly concavely arcuated. Clypeus quite strongly angled. 

 Last ventral segment of female short-triangular at apex, the sides 

 nearly straight; plates of the male longer than the pygofers, acute 

 but not produced at apex. 



Color a rather dull dark green, nervures paler; vertex, broad an- 

 terior margin of pronotum, scutellum and costa yellow, more or less 

 tinged with green. Lineations of the vertex obscure, especially in the 

 female; hind margin with a short oblique line behind each ocellus; 

 ocelli black; extreme tip of vertex fulvous with a minute brown dash 

 on either side. Pale anterior margin of pronotum with dusky lines 

 and points, more conspicuous in the male. Beneath nearly black, deeper 

 on the face, where the frontal arcs are often obsolete; edge of the 

 head clear yellow. Venter sometimes greenish, the edge of the con- 

 nexivum pale. 



Described from one female and many males taken on Billy's 

 Island, Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia, in June, and in De- 

 catur County, Georgia, in July, by Prof. J. C. Bradley, to 

 whom this species is dedicated in recognition of his able 

 assistance in the collection and study of the Hemiptera. I 

 have tried to identify this species with producfa Walker, but 

 I find too many discrepancies to allow of such determina- 

 tion. 



Draeculacephala inscripta n. sp. 



Allied most closely to minor, but more stoutly built, with the vertex 

 and anterior margin of the pronotum heavily lined with black. Length 

 7 mm. 



Vertex acute at apex, a little shorter than the pronotum, its length 

 nearly one-half its width across the eyes; the surface behind the apex 

 not so strongly depressed as in some of the allied forms; clypeus 

 unusually tumid and strongly angled when viewed from the side. Last 

 ventral segment of the female roundedly produced at the middle, this 

 lobe shorter and less angled than in the allied species. 



Color dark dull green above with the vertex, anterior margin of the 

 pronotum, scutellum and costa dull yellowish. Markings of the vertex 

 heavier than in any allied species, more typical of the noveboracensis 

 group; these marks consist of four arcs on the reflexed base of the 

 front, which unite to form an oblique black ray either side of the apex ;
