Caleo^tenus flavoUneattis, sp. nov. 



Male. — Similar iR appearance to C. spretus ; ground-color yellow, with 

 brownish markings, as in G. spretus ; tibi« bine. 



Vertex rather narrow between the eyes, distinctly channeled, strongly 

 deflexed ; frontal costa broad and flat between the antennae, fading and 

 obliterated below 5 lateral carinte distinct and diverging to the corners 

 of the face. Antennae of medium length. Eyes rather prominent, 

 not docked in front. Pronotum comi)aratively short ; median carinse 

 distinct on the posterior lobe, obliterated or indistinct on the other lobes ; 

 lateral carinse snbdistinct; the three transverse incisions very distinct, 

 the third a little behind the middle, the first and second close together; 

 posterior extremity obtusely rounded. Elytra and wings extend beyond 

 the abdomen. Tip of the abdomen turned up but scarcely enlarged ; 

 cerci rather short, somewhat broad at base, but near the extremity taper- 

 ing suddenly to a tooth-like apex; subanal plate rather narrow and 

 very slightly (if at all) notched at the tip. Posterior femora extend be- 

 yond the abdomen ; rather more than usually enlarged near the base. 

 Prosternal spine robust and somewhat transverse. 



Colo7\ — Autennee yellow ; face orange-red ; mouth-parts and a stripe 

 in front of and below the eyes, yellow ; pronotum pale orange-brown, 

 with a front marginal yellow line ; a yellow stripe from the base of the 

 wings to the base of the posterior legs. Abdomen same color as the 

 pronotum, with yellowish rings on the margins of the segments. Pos- 

 terior femora pale-yellow along the margins of the disk, on the lower 

 carinse ; under and internal surface reddish except the lower yellow 

 carinae ; external face with three irregular oblique dark bands ; pinnae 

 yellowish; knees black above. Posterior tibias blue; tarsi pale. Pectus 

 and venter yellowish. 



Dimensions. — $ ., Length, 1 inch; elytra, 0.78 :nch; posterior femora,

Collected in Southern California by Mr. Crotch, and received from 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. 



This belongs to that section of the genus of which C. fermur-nthrum 

 may be considered the type, and is somewhat closely allied to C. spretus. 



Galoptenus floridianus, sp. nov. 



Female. — Eather large size ; dark grayish-brown, with a dark stripe 

 each side. 



Vertex slightly and somewhat angularly expanded in front of the 

 eyes; the channel broad and distinct. Frontal costa somewhat broad, 

 solid above the ocellus, somewhat sulcate below it, expanding at the 

 ocellus. Pronotum about as broad as the head and uniform in width 

 throughout; median carina minute yet distinct; posterior sulcus dis- 

 tinct, situated much behind the middle. First and second transverse 

 incisions indistinct and much nearer together than second and third ; 

 disk of anterior lobes nearly smooth; disk of the posterior lobe thickly 

 punctured; apex rounded. Elytra nearly as long as the abdomen, nar- 

 row and slightly lanceolate in form, with comparatively few transverse 

 nervules. Wings about same length as elytra, rather narrow. Poste- 

 rior femora extend to the tip of the abdomen. The coruiculi of the ovi- 

 positor very prominent and sharp-pointed ; the lower pair without any 

 apparent lateral tooth or prominence. 



Color. — An ohve-brown slightly mixed with gray. A broad stripe of 

 shining black or very dark-brown extends from the eyes along the sides 

 of the head and pronotum to the posterior extremity of the latter; below
