width 1^ mm. Paratypes from Thalman and St. Simon's Island, 

 April. 



13. Corixa macroceps (Kirkaldy). 



Two males and six females from Oglethorp; Jtily. The dis- 

 covery of the male of this species is of much interest since it 

 removes it definitely from the genus Arctocorisa where it was 

 (rather arbitrarily) placed by Kirkaldy. The strigil is sinistral, 

 ovate, transverse, with about 5 strise. The male palas are short 

 cultrate, about twice as long as high, with 13 to 14 pegs, the last 

 3 or 4 about twice as long as the others. The line begins at the 

 lower articulation and ascends to the upper margin, the last 4 or 5 

 pegs following that margin. Tibia about % the length of the 

 palee (measuring between articulations) , strongly produced dorsally 

 to cover % of the pala, much resembling C. verticalis (Fieber) , in 

 that respect. Femur oblong-ovate, both edges convex, about l}i 

 times as long as wide. 



14. Corixa minima (Abbott), new species. 



Superficially much like macroceps Kirk, from which it differs, 

 however, in the following particiilars : The lineations, although 

 very confused and inosciilate are not interrupted serially to form 

 longitudinal lineations as in macroceps; the pronotum is much 

 longer with more numerous lineoles ; the palar pegs are differently 

 arranged and the strigil is smaller, with fewer strise. The first 

 femur in the male also differs in shape. 



Male: head large, prominent, posterior angles prominent, 

 silvery gray in color, vertex with a rather prominent keel which 

 entends forward to the fovea ; posterior margin infuscated. Inter- 

 ocular space 3% in width of head. Fovea oblong, occupying 

 practically all the face, its surface with long, delicate depressed 

 hairs. Pronotum rounded posteriorly, narrower than the head, 

 about twice as wide as long, with 5 or 6 broad black transverse 

 stripes, broken and confused. Surface rastrate. Lineations of 

 clavus broad, inosculate, confused; those of corium vermiculate, 

 broad, united along the margin but not broken into seriations; 

 those of the membrane effaced. Embolium dusky or sordid. False 

 short cultrate, with 12 pegs which proceed from the lower articu- 

 lation almost in a straight line to the anterior margin, i. e., not 

 following the curve of the upper margin. Distal pegs not longer 

 than the rest. Tibia produced over the pala for half its length.
