as apical fourth, median basal cell short and broad, first median 

 sector joined to cubitus, making four cubital veins ; four simple 

 median sectors (not counting one joined to cubitus) ; hind margin 

 angularly excavate at apex of each cubital and median sector, 

 giving the hind margin a serrated edge ; wings reaching to apex 

 of abdomen, lanceolate ; a large anal stridulating area. 



The neuration of this genus is similar to that of Diostromhus; 

 but the radial and the media are much nearer together, and 

 the first median sector is furcate and more closely associated with 

 the cubitus. 



Lostanosia bakeri sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 4. 



Female. — Bro\\Ti; apex of clj-peus, labium, legs, and hind 

 border of mesonotum lighter; head and pronotum darker, the 

 latter speckled with white granules, a few light dots on meso- 

 notum and many on abdomen, abdominal segments tinged with 

 red, anal style red. Tegmina hyaline, dark fuscous over basal 

 half of costal and entire subcostal and radial cells, the dark color 

 expanding to hind margin at extreme base and over basal por- 

 tions of cubital veins, also over basal portions of first and second 

 median sectors, and over apical cells and veins, each "tooth" 

 on hind margin fuscous; veins yellowish in hyaline portion of 

 tegmina, red in fuscous portion ; apical portion of costal cell with 

 red and white splashes, red and white dots along costa, subcosta, 

 radius, and media ; wings hyaline, veins red, fuscous at apex and 

 along veins, apex rounded. Pregenital segment longer than 

 broad, in lateral view concave in middle, posterior edge angularly 

 produced in middle, between the angular projection and genital 

 styles there is a small, quadrate, black plate ; anal segment small, 

 about as broad as long, anus at base, beyond which it forms a 

 half cylinder, apex slightly emarginate; genital styles well de- 

 veloped, as in Zoraida. 



Length, 4.5 millimeters ; tegmen, 10.

 I have seen no specimen that I can identify with any satisfac-
