TRANS. S. D. Society NATURAL HISTORY 
tenne; the disk with fine longitudinal striz, the carinz nearly ob- 
solete; clypeus more prominent, feebly convex, compressed and dis- 
tinctly carinate toward the apex. Pronotum transverse, one half 
the length of the mesonotum, feebly angularly excavated behind 
and slightly sinuated, truncate before; disk with three prominent 
obtuse parallel carinze and an impressed point on either side, the 
lateral carine placed just inside the outer angles of the vertex ; 
post-ocular protuberance acute but shorter than in vernalis. Meso- 
notum feebly tricarinate, the lateral prominent near their base. 
Elytra parallel, a little sinuated at their middle, the areolar reti- 
culations obscure basally. Hind tibie trispinose; abdomen strong- 
ly depressed, with two discal carine indicated, but irregular and 
broken. 
Color fuscous brown inclined to greyish, minutely irrorated 
with pale, varied with darker on the middle field and apex of the 
vertex, cheeks, sides of the pronotum and on the chest including the 
apex of the clypeus and the coxe; front and base of the clypeus 
paler. Elytra more greyish, minutely varied with fuscous espec- 
ially toward their apex; the outer claval nervure interrupted by a 
whitish median spot. Wings smoky hyaline; luteus, or in fully 
colored examples red, on the basal half; the transverse veinlets 
and alternate longitudinal nervures heavy and fuscous in the 
smoky apical part. Tergum and sides of the metanotum fulvous 
or red, the narrow base and lateral margins and the genital seg- 
ment fuscous. 
Described from three males; two taken on the rocky hillsides 
at Grossmont and Lakeside in May, 1913, and one beaten from a 
pine tree at Torrey Pines on July 4th, 1914. I have repeated some 
generic characters here as no full description of the genus or any 
species has yet been published. 
209. Orgerius rhyparus Stal. Taken occasionally from La Mesa 
to 4,000 feet in the Cuyamacas. Young from February to 
June, adults from June to October. It seems to prefer the 
canyons among the hills. 
210. Timodema miracula Ball. Occurs with the last and well up 
in the Cuyamacas. Both of these species have the singular 
habit of standing in a nearly erect posture and when dis- 
turbed are powerful leapers. The black color with trans- 
verse white bands and flattened legs will distinguish this 
form. 
211. Orgamara acuta Ball. I took a typical example of this odd 
looking insect on North Island, Coronado, June 30th, 1813, 
and a darker specimen at Lakeside in October. Young in 
May and June. 
212. Scolopsella reticulata Ball. Mr. Frank Stephens has taken 
several examples of this species at La Puerta Valley on the 
eastern slopes of the Cuyamacas for which I am indebted to 
Mr. W. S. Wright. It is hardly likely that they occur on 
this side of the mountains.
