Catolacctts caetnatus, sp. n. 



<S 5 . Closely resembles G. vulgaris, but differs quite markedly 

 in metanotal structure. In G. vulgaris the metascutellum has a 

 faint median longitudinal carina which sometimes is simply a 

 slight rounded elevation, the nucha not especially differentiated,. 

 and the whole sclerite finely punctate except at posterior border. 

 In the present species the median longitudinal carina is sharp 

 and pronounced and the nucha, which is as long as the body of 

 the sclerite, is differentiated by a transverse slightly arched 

 carina. The whole sclerite is delicately transversely shagreened. 

 The antennal flagellum is black and longer than in G. vulgaris, and 

 the punctation of the thorax somewhat finer. 



Three females, Mount Gray estate and St. G-eorge's, March 2 to 

 April 10, 250-300 feet — one at light at night, one under rotting 

 weeds, and one in house on window.
