the bend of the left genital clasper, extending downward and be- 
yond it to the left side, a condition found in nearly all the Phylinz 
and is perhaps a good group character. The genus Phyllopidea 
is distinguished by the broad and thick head, tumid front and 
vertex, the basal margin of the head not forming an evenly arcu- — 
ated line as in Europiella, but having the curve interrupted by the 
posterior extension of the vertex at the median line; rostrum 
reaching to near apex of the intermediate coxe, the first segment 
thick, in length scarcely surpassing the base of the head; lower 
face thick, produced downward, when viewed from the side ex- 
tending below the eye for a distance equal to the height of an eye, 
in outline the tylus presenting a curve downward and backward,. 
its base distinguished from the front by an incised suture which 
_ lies above a line drawn connecting the base of the antenne ; width 
of vertex equal to or nearly equals one half the width of the pro- 
notum at base, apex of the pronotum in width as great as or 
greater than is the length; dorsum and head strongly hirsute; 
width of the hind femur equal to not more than one fourth its .. 
length, while in Europiella the width is equal to one third the 
length. ; 
The writer here takes occasion to designate the type specimens 
of (Bolteria) picta from the type material used by Uhler for the 
original description. 
Lectotype: Cat. No. 22561 U. S. N. M., 9, June 22, 1891, Amer- 
ican Fork, Utah (E. A. Schwarz). 
Allotype: Same date as the type: (Heidemann Coll.) Cornell 
University Collection. There is also in the U. S. National Mu- 
seum Collection: ¢', “Colo. 1690”; 9, May 28, 1904, Govan, 
Wash (ji: A) Hyslop). (In the (Cornell Collechon (2); ole: 
1690.” Specimens from Colorado are larger and more elongate 
than are those from farther west. 
In the absence of type material of amicta in the Uhler collec- 
tion the writer here designates types of Bolteria amicta Uhler 
from the specimens sent to Dr. Lugger. Lectotype 9, “N. Mex.” 
(A. Bolter) ; Minnesota University Collection. Allotype: With 
the type. Paratypes: 1 &, 3 2, same date as the types.
