and all the other species here treated, by the much broader, 
scarcely reflexed or sinuate paranota, in which there are two full 
series and some intercalated areoles. The color is stramineous, 
varying to reddish brown over the more opaque parts of the body; 
tip of clavus dark; faint fuscous maculations on paranota along 
costa and more sparingly elsewhere; scutellum yellowish; eyes 
reddish. Under surface reddish stramineous, save mesosternum 
which with the exception of the rostral sulcus is black; apex of 
beak also black. Areolar formula, see table this page. Length 
3 mm. . y 
Type a macropterous female from Mouth of Bear River, Utah, 
September 30, 1914, Alex. Wetmore (U. S. N. M.). 
AREOLAR FORMULZ. 
Asa check upon identifications, a table is subjoined showing the 
maximum number of series of punctures or areoles in the various 
elytral divisions. ‘The maximum number of series can be counted 
in the various areas at about the following locations; for the 
subcostal area, a little anterior of middle; cubital, along a pos- 
teriorly directed oblique line from inner angle; brachial, on a line 
from apex of slavus through inner angle of the area; claval, oppo-_ 
site apex of scutellum; and sutural, an oblique series usually be- 
ginning at juncture of subcostal and cubital areas. The costal 
area has uniformly a single series of areoles in all species; the
