mopsis ; nevertheless, the well-developed eyes of the soldier, and even 

 of the larva, make this supposition rather doubtful. 



The genus Termopsis was formed by Professor Heer for fossil species 

 preserved in the amber of Prussia, and in the schists of Oeningen. T. 

 angnsticollis and perhaps T. occidentls are the only known living species 

 of this genus 5 and their occurrence in North America is the more inter- 

 esting, as some other remarkable species of the amber-fauna are still 

 represented by similar living species in the fauna of North America.

Ft. californica, Hag. Synop., 16, 5 (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., xv, 284.) 

 A full description is given in the monograph of this genus in the 

 quoted jiroceedings. 



Habitat. — California ; Washington Territory, between Rock and Cas- 

 cade Rivers; Lake Winnipeg (Kennicott) ; Ogden, Utah, from a river 

 tributary to Great Salt Lake, in June (C. Thomas). Nymphw from the 

 San Luis Valley, Colorado. I have seen a number of specimens, dry and 

 in alcohol, male, female, and nympha. According to McLachlan's state- 

 ment, the wings of the California specimens are very smoky and 

 opaque ; perhaps they were darkened by the carbolic acid used by the 

 collectors. Ft. californica is a decidedly western species. Ft. biloha, 

 from Trentqn Falls, N. Y., a species, as yet, only represented by the 

 female type in the British xMuseum, is very nearly related, but accord- 

 ing to McLachlan's, a different species. 



Ft. regularis, sp. nov. 



Male. — Dark-brown, paler beneath ; head dark -brown ; the posterior 

 margin, two large lateral spots connected by a line behind the ocelli, 

 two flattened, round tubercles a little before, and the anterior margin 

 all dull-yellowish ; lateral margin cariuated up to the tubercles ; three 

 ocelli well developed; labrum small, brown; antennae slender, half as 

 long as the wings, brown : the basal joints yellowish beneath. Pro- 

 thorax as broad as the head, nearly square, the anterior angles sharp, the 

 posterior rounded, dull-brown ; a very fine median yellow line only indi- 

 cated, and on eacb side some curved elevated marks. Abdomen pale 

 beneath; setse (partly broken) shorter than the abdomen, dark-brown, 

 dull-yellow at the bases, stout, the five basal joints very short. Feet 

 brown, pale beneath ; wings smoky, hyaline ; veins strong, dark-brown ; 

 areolation square. The vulvar lamina as broad as the segment, rounded 

 in front, the middle more produced, as long as the segment, notched on 

 the tips, black ; on each side at the base is a small triangular tubercle. 



Length to tip of the wings, 19 millimeters; alar expansion, 33 millime- 

 ters. 



Habitat. — Truckee, Sierra Nevada; Nevada, June 10 (Crotch). I 

 have seen only two si)ecimeus. 



Ft. badia, sp. nov. 



Pale-brown ; head dull-yellowish, with a large square black spot 

 around the ocelli ; antennae brown, paler beneath. Prothorax square, 

 the anterior margin rather rounded, the angles right, pale-brown, with 

 darker shading on each on the elevated marks. Abdomen i)ale above, 

 darker in the middle, pale-brown beneath ; the apical margin ot the 

 penultimate ventral segment largely excised ; the dark-brown middle
