HEMIPTERA. VAN DUZEE. oo 
1903, I found this species not uncommon about a pond at 
Elitch’s Gardens at Denver, Colo., but these were a little 
larger with the elytra a clear reddish, the clavus only black. 
Family NEPIDAE 
| 202. Ranatra brevicollis Montd. One female I believe belongs 
here was captured in a pond near Barona Ranch at Mus- 
sey’s in August. It was not fully developed and some of its 
characters were obscure. A very dark male taken by Mr. 
F. W. Kelsey in Pine Valley in the Cuyamaca Mts. in April 
may belong here. 
Family BELOSTOMIDAE 
203. Abedus (Deinostoma) dilitatus Say. What I believe to be 
the young of this species is common in most pools, espec- 
ially back among the hills, but I have been unable to ob- 
tain an adult. 
Family GELASTOCORIDAE 
204. Gelastocoris variegatus Guer.? A very clearly marked form 
which I have provisionally determined as this is common 
along the San Diego River as far up as Lakeside. The sil- 
very points on the elytra are very conspicuous in this spe- 
cies. May to July. 
Family NOTONECTIDAE 
205. Notonecta mexicana H. S. Mussey’s, August, taken from a 
shaded pool. If I am correct in my determination of this 
species it is near undulata Say but is proportionately short- 
er. 
206. Notonecta insulata Kirby. One example of this species oc- 
curred at Mussey’s with the preceding but I found it in 
numbers in a stream at Pine Valley in October, 1913. 
207. Buenoa platycnemis Fieb. Found in abundance in a pool in 
Rose Canyon near La Jolla in September. 
HOMOPTERA 
Family FULGORIDAE 
208. Amycle saxatilis n. sp. 
{ Allied to amabilis, broader and proportionately shorter than 
in vernalis; fuscous, irrorate with pale; tergum and base of the 
wings red or luteous. Length to tip of abdomen 11 mm., to tip of 
elytra 13 mm., alar expanse, 21 mm. 
Head thin and strongly produced. Vertex a little longer than 
the pro- and meso-notum together, ligulate, narrowing to the mid- 
dle then a little expanded and again narrowing to the broad suban- 
_ gular apex. Surface depressed with a linear medium groove and a 
‘discal carina either side which diverge at base, before the middle 
' and again at apex, the submargins laminate-carinate. Front near- 
_ ly flat; apex expanded to before the eyes, feebly sinuated at the an-
