No. 34.] HEMIPTERA OF CONNECTICUT: CERCOPIDAE. 217 



duced, disc elevated, flattened, median carina obscure ; front, disc 

 strongly convex, inflation moderate, less than in parallela; prono- 

 tum, disc transversely, strongly depressed before middle, pos- 

 teriorly elevated, carina weak except across depressed area, lateral 

 margins short, distinctly divergent, posterior margin narrowly 

 emarginate; elytra long and narrow, strongly convex, costal 

 margins slightly expanded, apex sharply acutely angulate. 



Genitalia: Female pygofers short and convex, length but 

 slightly greater than width, outer margins rounded to middle, 

 thence narrowing to apex, exceeded by ovipositor one-third their 

 length. Male, last ventral segment strongly convex, length less 

 than basal width, narrowing apically, posterior margin laterally 

 tooth-notched ; plates broad, fused, parallel-margined, apex medi- 

 ally excavated, leaving a rounded notch nearly half their depth, 

 either side of which slightly diverging to acutely produced lateral 

 angles. 



Color: Varying light tawny to dark rusty-brown; spot either 

 side of tylus, median carina on tylus and vertex, anterior half of 

 pronotum, and angles of scutellum, light; elytra deep tawny, 

 flecked with lighter, sometimes forming obscure, oblique bands 

 along suture on disc, and usually showing three light areas, 

 separated by two darker ones along the costa". 



Distribution: Specimens have been examined from Colorado 

 and Nebraska.

Color varying tawny, elytra obliquely banded with dark brown ; 

 resembling irrorata, but with a more inflated front, the vertex 

 more narrowly rounded before, and form in general narrower and 

 more sharply angulate behind. Length 9-12 mm. ; width 3.5 mm. 



Vertex short, length on middle one-fourth greater than at eye, 

 disc transversely depressed along suture with tylus, median carina 

 weak, anterior margin narrowly rounded to tylus ; tylus short, 

 length equal to one-half width, slightly produced and rounded 

 before, disc elevated laterally and anteriorly, median carina obscure ; 

 front broad, disc strongly convex, moderately inflated and pro- 

 duced anteriorly, forming an elevated right angle with vertex ; 

 pronotum, disc transversely depressed in anterior third, the depres- 

 sion broken by sharp longitudinal ridges midway between median 

 line and lateral margins, posteriorly elevated, carina weak except 

 across depressed area, lateral margins short, slightly divergent; 

 scutellum deeply centrally depressed ; elytral margins narrowly 

 expanded on costa, apex sharply, acutely angulate. 



Genitalia: Female, last ventral segment broadly convex; 

 pygofers and ovipositor stout and compact, coarsely pubescent ;
