Scudder.] 270 [December 16, 



color. Pronoturn with a medio-dorsal, rather broad yellowish vitta, and 

 the lower half of the lateral lobes clouded with the same. Tegmina 

 dark brown, the inner edge yellowish, appearing as a continuation of 

 the pronotal vitta when the tegmina are closed. Wing a little shorter 

 than the tegmina, blackish fuliginous, the cross veins delicately 

 marked in whitish next the longitudinal nervures ; the basal portion 

 of the wing, including all that portion lying as near the base as the 

 middle of the front margin, pale, possibly yellowish in life. Legs 

 uniform, the tarsi dull brownish luteous. The tips of the longest 

 spines and all the granulations of the pronoturn and hind legs black. 



Length of body, 26 mm.; of tegmina, 30 mm. ; of wings, 26.5 mm. ; 

 of hind tibiae, 13 mm.; of antennae, 15.5 mm. 1 d", Eastern slope of 

 the Peruvian Andes. 



23. Elssochlora Brunneri nov. sp. 



Brownish cinereous. Antennae 15-16 jointed, scarcely longer than 

 the pronoturn, joints 3-5 equally broadened and noticeably broader than 

 the others. Tubercle of vertex subtriangular, horizontal as viewed from 

 above, the angles much rounded, the upper surface shallowly concave, 

 with two slight, lateral, longitudinal plicae within the slightly emar- 

 ginate edge ; viewed laterally it is bluntly rounded at the tip, the 

 frontal costa distinctly sulcate almost to the tip. Head with a slight 

 medio-dorsal sulcation. Pronoturn coarsely but slightly shagreened 

 and subtuberculate, with a low but distinct and equal mediodorsal ca- 

 rina, the lateral carinae scarcely perceptible from the arched form of 

 the pronoturn; front border straight or slightly rounded; hind border 

 obtusely angulated, the middle slightly produced but bluntly docked. 

 Tegmina scarcely extending beyond the abdomen, tapering, very 

 bluntly pointed, the front border a little and very roundly produced 

 near the base, pale cinereous blotched with darker cinereous. Wings 

 scarcely as long as the tegmina, full and rounded, pellucid (tinged 

 with yellowish in life?) a little clouded next the apical half of the 

 front and outer border, and the nervures and cross veins of this part 

 blackish. Legs of the color of the body, nearly uniform, but the 

 hind femora with a faint transverse median pale band, and the under 

 surface of the tarsi blackish ; spines of hind tibiae and tarsi, as well 

 as claws, black tipped. 



Length of body, 27 mm.; of antennae, 6.5 mm.; of tegmina, 18 

 mm. ; of wings, 16 mm.; of hind tibiae, 12 mm. 1 cf, Eastern slope 

 of the Peruvian Andes. 



This species differs so much from Stal's description of Elaeochlora,
