Scudder/J 36 [December 6, 



Georgia. This species, one of the smallest in N. America, resem- 

 bles the larger G. personatus Uhl. in general appearance, especially 

 in the pale sides of the pronotum, which in G. personatus are devoid 

 of black, excepting a small spot above. 



Nemobius carolinus. Head and unicolorons antennae varying 

 from dull luteous to dusky brown, furnished with rather long, curving, 

 distant, black, bristly hairs. Pronotum of the color of the head, but 

 more or less mottled, a little broader than long, supplied with long 

 bristly black hairs rather less abundant than in N. vittatus, its anterior 

 two thirds with a distinctly impressed median line. Tegmina shining 

 black, the borders and angles testaceous, those of the male rather 

 ample and reaching the tip of the abdomen, those of the female 

 covering but half of the abdomen, the dorsal members in the latter 

 sex straight to the tip; wings wanting. Hind legs dull testaceous, 

 the tibial spines pale near the tip. Cerci varying from testaceous to 

 brownish, very slender, as long as the abdomen; ovipositor castaneous, 

 a little upcurved, moderately stout, shorter than the hind tibiae, the 

 apical denticulate field longer than usual and nearly equalling one 

 fourth the entire length of the ovipositor. Length of body, cf, 7.3 mm., 

 ?, 9.4 mm.; of antennas, d", 15.5 mm., ?, 16.5 mm.; of tegmina, 

 d", 4.2 mm., ?, 4 mm. ; of hind tibiae, d", 4.1 mm., d, 4.5 mm.; of cerci, 

 9, 4 mm., ?, 5.6 mm.; of ovipositor, ?, 3.8 mm. 



North Carolina. This species appears to be nearly allied to Saus- 

 sure's N. toltecus from Mexico; it is slightly smaller than N. vittatus, 

 and of a similar appearance, but the males have larger tegmina, and 

 the females longer ovipositors. 



Nemobius volaticus. Head rather full and convex, project- 

 ing above the surface of the pronotum, black, with bristly hairs as in 

 the preceding species; antennae dark brown, with pale incisures; 

 palpi varying irregularly from pallid to dusky, the terminal joint 

 nearly twice as long as the third, and about three times longer than 

 the fourth. Pronotum black, broader than long, slightly broader 

 behind than in front, the anterior half or more with a distinct median 

 furrow, the whole surface with scattered black bristles. Tegmina 

 narrow, nearly as long as the abdomen, piceous, the interspaces be- 

 tween the nervures more or less testaceous, especially in the female, 

 the nervules of the dorsal surface in the latter straight; wings very 

 long, the tip of the closed tegmina lying midway between the tip of 

 the wings and the front of the head. Legs testaceous, more or 

 less infu seated, especially above, the hind femora rather slender, the
