84 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society voi. viii 



subcordate, rastrate, with seven parallel straight lines. Tegmina 



olivaceous; lineations of cla^als entire, 

 those of corium somewhat coalescent, 

 forming a longitudinal vitta on the 

 inner angle; those of membrane con- 

 fused, coalescent into a central fleck 

 and a darker spot on the outer border. Thoracic pleura pale, 

 abdomen dark. Strigil dextral, minute (diameter, .05 mm.), with 

 3 stricB. False somewhat lanceolate, strongly compressed and 

 deeply excavate on the outer surface. Pegs 24, in an irregular row 

 along the lower margin of the pala, the proximal seven, less than 

 half the length of the rest; the flattened face of the pala above 

 the pegs, with long cilia. Posterior tarsi brown. 

 Holotype, a male from Marietta, March 5. 

 Female : coloration as in the male, rather more chestnut, the 

 tegminal lineations somewhat more confused, those of the mem- 

 brane partly effaced. Face rather flattened. False cultrate, 

 about 3 times as long as high. Pale sordid below. 



Allotype: a female from Marietta, March 5. 

 11. Corixa gordita (Abbott), new species. 



A short, plump species with a short broad head. Dark brown 

 or chocolate markings on a tawny yellow background. The mark- 

 ings are broad and heavy with a tendency to coalesce. 



Holotype. Male. Head-length, 2% in width; interocular 

 space Vio the head length. Head brownish-yellow in color, the 

 posterior margin infuscated. Fovea very shallow, ovate, reaching 

 level of eye, somewhat elevated in the center like a boss. Prono- 

 tum lentictdar, rounded posteriorly, a little more than twice as 

 wide as long with 7 transverse dark brown stripes. These are 

 parallel, the posterior ones slightly curved and little if any inter- 

 rupted. There is a small medial tubercle near the anterior edge 

 (absent in some specimens). Surface of pronotum and clavus 

 rastrate. Claval lines entire, somewhat oblique with a tendency 

 to coalesce into a darker area along the inner edge. Corial linea- 

 tions very dark, irregular, confused and coalescent, running 

 together into a large irregular blotch or vitta about the middle 

 or toward the inner angle. Embolium sordid, infuscated at either 

 end. Markings of membrane irregular, vermiculate, a conspicuous 

 dark spot on the lower outer edge. Under surface feather dusky.
