2l6 CONNECTICUT GEOL. AND NAT. HIST. SURVEY. [Bull. 



Vertex long, length on middle one-half that across eyes, disc 

 strongly sloping from posterior margin to tylus, median carina 

 weak, anterior margin scarcely curved to tylus ; tylus, disc elevated, 

 flattened, produced, almost rectangulate before, length two-thirds 

 width; ocelli equidistant from posterior margin of vertex and 

 from tylus; front, disc broadly, strongly convex, much inflated 

 and produced, extending slightly beyond and rounding back to 

 vertex ; pronotum, disc transversely roughened in median line by a 

 series of irregular depressions, median carina weak, lateral margins 

 long, length equal to distance between ocelli and eyes ; elytra 

 broadly convex, costal area very broad, apex bluntly, acutely 

 angulate. 



Genitalia: Female pygofers long and narrow, length one-third 

 greater than width, outer margins tapering, exceeded by stout 

 ovipositor one-third their length. Male, last ventral segment 

 strongly convex, length equal to basal width, narrowing apically, 

 posterior margin sinuate with lateral angles produced style-like 

 as long as the plates ; plates subquadrate, fused, apex medially 

 notched, lateral angles rounded. 



Color : Varying tawny, punctured with dark brown ; anterior 

 margin of vertex to tylus and median carina bordered with darker ; 

 median carina from anterior margin of tylus across vertex and 

 pronotum, and angles of scutellum broadly white ; an interrupted, 

 sometimes obscure, oblique band from apex of scutellum meeting 

 at center on costa a similar band from the sutural apex of the 

 clavus, grayish-brown ; apical reticulations accentuated in deep 

 brown. 



Distribution: Specimens have been examined from the New 

 England States, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Ontario 

 (Can.), Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It has been reported from 

 Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia (Ball).

Large ; color varying light tawny to dark rusty-brown, flecked 

 with lighter ; closely resembling parallela in size and coloration but 

 with a much broader, shorter, more angulate vertex and a less 

 strongly inflated front. Length Ii-I2mm. ; width 3.5-4.5 mm. 



Vertex short, length on middle but slightly greater than at eye, 

 disc flattened-depressed between weak median carina and broadly 

 rounded anterior margin ; tylus short, length equal to one-half 

 width and equal to length of vertex behind it, but slightly pro-
