«i * ERYTHRONEURA. 



(Gr., spuOpo^ red, '^supc^, nerve; in allusion to the color of portions 

 of the elytral nerves in several of the species.) Head crescentiform, 

 about as broad as the thorax; vertex rounded down to the front with- 

 out an angular edge; ocelli betAveen the vertex and the front, almost 

 as near each other as to the eyes: elytra without closed cells in the 

 disk; apical cells four, longish; middle apical nerve simple. Forward 

 of the transverse nerve the exterior and middle nerves are sometimes 

 obsolete. For a group of our small tTass ides, who e elongated linear 

 bodies give them the aspect of Tettigo7iiides, no place appears among 

 the genera defined by Amyot and Serville. This and the following 

 genus is therefore proposed for their reception. 



^■^ Wounded Erythroneura, * E. vulnerata. Fulvous-brown spot- 

 ted and lined with whitish; elytra with an abbreviated 

 yellowish-white vitta on the outer margin, interrupted near the 

 middle by an oblique black line, and towards the apex by an 

 oblique sanguineous one; tips dusky, with whitish nervures 

 and spots; a whitish medial line common to the vertex, thorax 

 and Bcutel; beneath black, legs pallid. Length, 12. On
