insect easily distinguished by its very broad Idiocerus-like head 

 and long triangular elytra which are cut off obliquely at apex 

 with the inner angle a little produced. In these specimens the 

 color is ivory white inclining to fulvous on the scutellum in 

 some examples. The elytra are whitish hyaline with white 

 nervures ornamented with concolorous granules which become 

 conspicuous on the V-shaped apical fuscous vittse. The lower 

 surface is whitish marked with fuscous on the pleural pieces 

 and coxae; the anterior and intermediate feet lineated with fus- 

 cous. Posterior femora short, unarmed. The types were from 

 Colorado. 



225. Liburnia Slossoni Ball. 



Crescent City and Estero; four examples. A large and 

 distinct species somewhat allied to my dorsilinea from Jamaica 

 but readily recognized by the two slender longitudinal black 

 lines in the pale dorsal vitta. 



I see my friend Kirkaldy still persists in calling this genus 

 EmbolopJipora Stal but I am unable to discover any justification 

 for so doing. If the type of EmbolopJipora could possibly be 

 placed in this genus his course would necessarily be right 

 but by Stal's description of both the genus and species it is 

 evidently very distinct and should we supplant Liburnia by 

 EmbolopJipora we must at once establish another genus for the 

 African type of EmbolopJipora which of course could not be 

 done. The fact is Stal merely replaced the old name DelpJiax 

 Auct. by Liburnia and left under it all the group of species at 

 that time generally placed under that name, including his own 

 EmbolopJipora as one extreme of the series on account, prob- 

 ably, of the long-produced head. I still think that Liburnia 

 should stand for that group of species allied to pellucida Fabri- 

 cius, which should perhaps be considered its type. 



226. Liburnia Iaminalis Van Duzee. 



Crescent City, two macropterous females. These are a 

 little larger than the types from Mississippi. One brachypterous 

 male taken with the preceding is very much smaller but I 

 believe it belongs here. I have taken this species at Hamburg 

 and Phoenicia, N. Y. and Columbus, Ohio. These specimens 

 are smaller than those from Florida.
