base granulated; gibbous knob at the base of the ulnar nervures minutely 

 granulated and there are a few scattering granules on the base of the costal 

 membrane. Posterior tibiae bispinose. 



Eurocalia collaris n. sp. 



Pale greenish testaceous tinged with fulvous brown in places especially 

 across the anterior margin of the head and toward the apex of the elytra; a 

 dark brown collar occupies the declivous anterior margin of the mesonotum 

 and there is an elongated mark of a paler brown color along the commissural 

 margin of the clavus; two approximate points near the anterior margin of 

 the pronotum, a minute line on the tegulas, and a slender oblique line" near 

 the base of the radial nervure, black; two distinct points close to the anterior 

 margin of the vertex, a dot behind each eye, two larger spots on each latero- 

 posterior margin of the mesonotum, a round dot toward the base of the 

 corium close to the claval suture, and two larger spots on the apical third of 

 the coriurn near the commissural margin, the posterior of which tends to 

 form a broken vitta along the subapical line, dark brown. Spines of the 

 tibiae and tarsi tipped with black. 



Vertex very short, its anterior margin a little elevated, almost carinate, 

 a little sinuated across the middle. Front with three short basal carinas 

 feebly indicated, the lateral very oblique and placed near the margins which 

 are quite strongly reflexed; apex with a transverse brown cloud next the 

 depressed clypeal suture; viewed from the side the front is quite strongly 

 bent inward and almost horizontal beyond the middle. Pronotum with a 

 very obtuse median carina which may be traced as far as the middle of the 

 mesonotum, the lateral carinaa scarcely indicated, exterior to these lateral 

 carinas the surface is pitted with brown. Costal margin of the elytra slightly 

 sinuated before the narrowly rounded apex. Wings smoky with strong 

 nervures. Length 10 mm. 



Described from one example taken at Hope Bay, April 

 14th. This species will not fit into any genus described by 

 Stal or Melichar although it comes very near Neocerus of the 

 latter author. It is not impossible that some of the species 

 described by Melichar under Dascalia might be placed here. 

 His limitation o,f that genus does not seem to me to be altogether 

 the same as that intended by Stal.

I think there can be no question as to the correctness of the 

 above synonomy. Dascalia acuta Uhler (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. , 

 iv, p. 514, 1 90 1.) is a very closely allied species if it be not 

 identical, and we may have to add to this synonomy Elidiptera
