 PJiilcenus lineatus Stal, Hemipt. Fabriciana, ii, 16, No. 2. 



On the foot-hills near Golden, August 5. Doubtless it is widely dis- 

 tributed through the mouutaiuous region of Colorado ; but my period of 

 coUectiug was probably too late in the season for the swarms in which 



it sometimes appears.

Clastoptera delicata Uhler, in Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., ii, 82. 

 I found only one specimen near Colorado Springs, while sweeping

Cixius vicarius Walker, Britisli Museum List Homopt., ii, 343, No. 22.

 elytra much reduced in size.
