3 1 8. Eutettix Bartschi n. sp. 



Form and size of Slossoni. Fulvous 

 or brown varied with paler; base of the 

 front black in the male, rufocastaneous in 

 the female. Length: male 4; female 5 mm. 



Male: Vertex light yellowish; transverse im- 

 pressed line between the ocelli and a short longi- 

 tudinal line either side fulvous. Face pale yel- 

 lowish, a transverse band on the base of the front, 

 about five arcs more or less united in a cloud below 

 this and a dot below the antennas black. Clypeus

 paler anterior^ with a few fulvous marks and 



points. Scutellum pale with the basal angles, two dots between them and 

 the transverse line fulvous-brown. Elytra varied with whitish; paler toward 

 the costa and darker along the commissure; saddle small and distinct, con- 

 nected by a black vitta to two white points before and two behind, the latter

 the face pale with a rufous band at base; oviduct castaueous. 



Described from numerous specimens beaten from scrub 

 oaks at Sevenoaks and Estero, at the latter place abundant. 



This is a typical Eutettix nearest Slossoni and marmorata. 

 I cannot as yet agree with my friend Dr. Ball in placing all the 

 species of Eutettix of the lurida group as subspecies of one 

 typical form ; and, if this were done I do not see how we can 

 use the name subcenea for this group as that is an abberrant 

 form from the Pacific coast and not at all typical of the group 

 it would have to represent. Lurida is the type of the genus 

 and it seems to me is the name that should have been used for 

 the group notwithstanding subcenea was published first. The 

 three species I took in Florida show very little variation and are 

 as distinct in both sexes as are the species in any of our large 

 plastic genera. I take pleasure in naming this species after my 

 good friend Walter F. Bartsch of Estero who has taken much 

 interest in my work and has sent me some interesting Hemip- 

 tera since my return from Florida.
