defining the genus with any certainty. That it may clash with 

 Peggiopsis Muir is probable. One female specimen in the 

 Bureau of Science collection, which stands under this name, does 

 not agree very well with Stal's description. I accept it 

 provisionally and associate two other specimens with it. The 

 following description is taken from the above-mentioned 

 specimen : 



Vertex quadrate, base wider than apex; face narrow with a 

 fine longitudinal groove in the center ; clypeus much longer than 

 face, tricarinate, sides flattened; antennae longer than head and 

 thorax together, narrow, flat, sense organs evenly distributed; 

 mesonotum broader than long, carinse obsolete. Tegmina with 

 costal cell arcuately produced at base, distad of which it is ex- 

 ceedingly narrow; radial cell so narrow from base to near third 

 median sector that the median vein appears to be united to 

 the radius, beyond this point it widens suddenly; four median 

 sectors and four cubital veins ; wings rudimentary, not reaching 

 to middle of abdomen. Dark brown ; head, dorsal half of an- 

 tennae, pleurae of pronotum, legs, and middle of abdomen lighter 

 brown. Tegmina hyaline with reddish brown veins, basal 

 portion to first median sector fuscous with two small, hyaline 

 spots in middle, a dark fuscous mark at apex of subcosta, ex- 

 tending along radius to apex of media. Pregenital sternite wider 

 than long, posterior edge obtuse-angularly produced from sides 

 to middle, disk subconcave when viewed in profile ; anal segment 

 small, broadly lanceolate, apex slightly emarginate.

Peggia irrorata sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 16. 



Male. — Vertex very short, broad ; face broadest at base, slightly 

 narrowed between eyes, carinae fine, not contiguous; antennae 

 as long as head and thorax combined, flattened; thorax similar 

 to that of Zoraida; abdomen slightly compressed, dorsally arched. 

 Costal cell exceedingly narrow, especially beyond basal fourth; 

 subcosta and radius separating about one fourth from base, but 

 they remain so near together that they are practically contiguous 

 to near apex; radial cell very narrow to near apex where it 

 widens very slightly. Cubitus with four veins extending to 

 hind margin, the fifth joining a cross vein near margin; four 

 median sectors ; wings minute, not reaching middle of abdomen. 

 Brown, a median and lateromedian lighter marks on mesonotum, 

 the lateral edges of pronotum light with two small dark marks ; 

 abdomen dark brown, speckled all over with lighter granules.
