444 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITORIES. 



From Northern Arizona. Obtained from the collection of Dr. Palmer, 

 in the Agricultnral Department, at Washington. 



This is a very interesting species, as it is the first of this genns, as at 

 present restricted, which has been found in the Uuited States. I have 

 therefore made my description very full, inclading some generic char- 

 acters. It is remarkable for the length of its wiugs and its dark, som- 

 ber color. 



Figured by Professor Glover. PI. 1, Fig. 9. 



L. occidentalism nov. sp. 



Female. — Testaceous, with a row of black sx)ots along the middle of 

 the elytra. Closel}' allied to L. fidujinosa. but smaller, and rather more 

 slender in its proportions. 



Occiput not ascending, convex, transverse ; tubercle compressed on the 

 sides, slightly sulcate. First joint of the antenna,' convex in front, with 

 a slight tubercle at the base. Pronotum longertlian broad, somewhat 

 carinated; lateral cariune rounded on the anterior lobes, angled on the 

 posterior, slightly converging near the middle ; a faint medium line visi- 

 ble; margins as in fiiUginosa. Elytra about twice the length of the 

 body ; narrovr, equal width throughout : round at the apex. The sternal 

 spines arid lobes as in fnJigiuosa. Middle femora longer than tbe ante- 

 rior, slender sub-cylindrical j the anterior femora have from three to live 

 small spines on the inner carina ; middle and posterior femora have a 

 few minute distant spines on each carina. Anterior tibiae with one row 

 of three spines in front; middle with two rows above, four or five in 

 the internal, and two in tlie external. 



Color, (dried, but does not appear to have been immersed in alcohol.) — 

 Testaceous. Face pale brownish-yellow; an irregular black stripe 

 reaches from the eyes to the posterior margin of the.i)ronotuni, running 

 along the side of the latter, immediately below the lateral carina. The 

 pronotum brownish above, paler below the strij^e on the side. Elytra 

 testaceous, the middle field marked with a row of black spots, which 

 form a kind of serrature along the externo-median nerve, the inter- 

 spaces v/hitish; the upper field somev»bat regularly variegated with 

 l^ale, brownish, rhomboid spots ; lower field pale, with clusters of dark 

 X^oints. The wings fawn-colored ; nerves and nervules of the front mar- 

 gin black, prominent ; rest mostly tbe color of the wings, and less prom- 

 inent. Si)ines tipped with piceous: soles of the tarsi fuscous. Anten- 

 nae wanting in my specimen. 



Dimensions. — Length of bod3', .95 inch; elytra, 1.80 inches; poste- 

 rior femora, 1.1-1 inches; posterior tibiiie, 1.13 inches; ovipositor, .97 

 inch. 



California. Eeceived from Mr. Taylor, of San Francisco, as a Califor- 

 nia species. Pi. 11, Fig. IG. 



CoisOCEPnALINI. 



Copiopliora mttcronata, Thos., (Canadian Ent., 1872, i)-.) 



Cone of the vertex smooth on the margins, mncronate. Mesosternu 

 bidentate. Green ; labrum, clypeus, and under side of the cone yellow. 

 2IaJe and female. — Cone of the vertex standing obliquely forward, apex 

 mncronate ; the minute sx)ine slightly deflexed, especially in tbe female; 

 sides parallel from the base a little above the first joint of the antennre, 

 vrhere they are slightly angulate ; not serrated or granulate ; front side 

 has, near the base, a prominent tubercle; there is also a tubercle below 

 this between the antennae. Face oblique, smooth ; occiput smooth ;
