Described from two male and two female specimens taken 

 in the Huachuca Mts., Ariz., by Mr. H. G. Barber. 



5, Lamenia edentula n. sp. 



Allied to obscura but smaller and paler. Testaceous brown tinged 

 with ferruginous on the head and scutellum; wings and elytra at apex 

 somewhat enfumed; eyes and abdomen fuscous brown, the segments of the 

 latter pale margined. When immature these brown parts are more or less 

 rufescent. Legs pallid with the tarsi fuscous at apex; rostrum pale, black 

 at apex. Nervures of the elytra strong, eoneolorous; the row of short 

 transverse nervures at the base of the apical areoles and the stigmata], 

 touched with white. In many individuals the basal areoles of the elytra 

 are slightly infuscated bringing the pale nervures into stronger contrast. 

 JSTervures of the wings strong and fuscous. Plates of the male subcylindri- 

 cal, without a trace of the apical tooth found in vulgaris and obscura; their 

 suture slightly parted at base and presenting a narrower linear apical notch. 

 Length 4mm. 



Described from seven specimens, of both sexes, taken at 

 Austell, Ga., August 27th 1910, by Mr. J. C. Bradley. I also 

 took one female at Riverton, N. J., August 17th 1902, which 

 seems to agree in every respect with the Georgia material. So 

 far as the color alone is concerned this might well be considered 

 but an immature form of obscura but the specimens I have seen 

 are uniformly smaller, the apex of the tarsi are blackish and 

 the form of the male plates is distinctive. 



6, Lamenia maculata n. sp. 



Most closely allied to edentula but more slender with longer 

 elytra. Greyish white, mottled and spotted with fuscous. 

 Length to tip of the elytra 5 mm. 



Vertex apparently wanting, the base of the front rounding over to the 

 hind margin of the head, viewed from above not surpassing the eyes; front 

 slightly expanded at apex. Pronotum short, deeply but roundedly emar- 

 ginate behind. Inner margin of the male plates with a linear excavation 

 almost to their apex, leaving only a blunt tooth before the oblique apical 

 margin, the upper angle of this apical margin produced in a short triangular 

 tooth in place of the long spur-like process found in most of our species. 



Color greyish-white; front with a fuscous median vitta which extends 

 over the clypeus and is expanded about an oval white spot on the apex 

 of the front ; dorsally this fuscous vitta extends across the pro- and meso- 

 notum ; cheeks infuscated and marked with a triangular black spot at their 

 lower angle ; antennas testaceous, infuscated below. Pronotum marked with 

 a btlaek patch behind the eyes ; lateral angles of the mesonotum infuscated. 

 Pleural pieces with a fus*cous spot ; superiorly. Legs white, the femora 

 slightly infuscated; tibiae banded with fuscous at base and apex; tarsi
