72 STUDIES IN NORTH AMERICAN MEMBRACID/E 



18. Telamona maculata n. sp. PI. 2, figs. 8,41. 



Allied to unicolor in form but with the humeral angles much more 

 produced. Head large, roughly sculptured, base with a crescent shaped 

 smooth callus connecting with the ocelli; basal line of the clypeus deeply 

 depressed; clypeus broad, smooth and rounding over the apex of the head. 

 Pronotum short; humeral angles greatly expanded in broad ligulate append- 

 ages, obtuse at apex and produced for twice the width of the eye; dorsal 

 crest high, subquadrate; its anterior margin just back of the line of the 

 humeri, vertical or slightly overhanging, anterior angle rounded; dorsal 

 line sloping; hind angle almost a right angle, posterior edge sloping slight- 

 ly and broadly curved to the short apex on which the longitudinal carinte 

 are distinct. Color pale testaceous-yellow as in the male of unicolor, irreg- 

 ularly marked with brown vermiculations and spots, these forming a trans- 

 verse band between the humeri, an oblong spot passing obliquely downward 

 from the anterior angle of the crest and a smaller spot on its posterior 

 angle. Apex pale brown, differentiated by an obsolete pale transverse 

 vitta; middle of the lateral margin with a large oblong black spot. Beneath 

 and legs pale, the tibse minutely dotted with brown. Elytra hyaline, a faint 

 cloud at the base, a conspicuous oval spot on the middle and a faint ray 

 near the apex, fuscous brown. Length 10 mm. 



Described from one female example taken on Long Island, 

 July 13th, 1907, by Mr. W. T. Davis, who has collected a 

 remarkably interesting series of Membracids about New York 

 City. This species is very near collina Walker which would 

 seem to have the same produced humeri but to want the con- 

 spicuous black spot on the sides of the pronotum and middle of 

 the elytra. Telamona mexicana is another allied species. 



Genus Telamonanthe Baker. 



Prof. Baker established this genus in 1907 (Can. Ent. 

 xxxix, p. 115) for Telamona Rileyi Godg. , of which I believe 

 Coquilletti Godg. is the female. Unfortunately the type speci- 

 mens of this and the other Membracids described by Goding 

 from material sent by me were never returned so I have 

 only my memory to rely upon, but, so nearly as I can recollect 

 it, Coquilletti is very near if not identical with Telamona pul- 

 chella Ball the male of which is Telamona brevis Ball. 



Telamonanthe pulchella Ball. 



I found this species abundant in the Garden of the Gods at 

 Manitou and at other places in Colorado and it was not uncom-
