and sub-angulate on margin, forming a narrow margin below 

 lorae. Elytra with costal veinlets very oblique, as in immistus, 

 the first originating at or just in front of the transverse vein- 

 let ; the second near the middle of the outer anteapical cell; 

 the third at the end of the anteapical cell, but not touching 

 the apical veinlet. In one specimen an extra oblique vein 

 occurs between first and second. Claval vein curved, no 

 cross vein to suture. 



Color: Vertex yellow with a broad ochraceous or ochra- 

 ceous-rufus band across the disk, the median portion forming 

 a short curve and reaching the width of the band toward the 

 apex, sometimes almost interrupted; pronotum with two 

 large spots on the anterior margin near the middle ; the pos- 

 terior half, except narrow median line, two large lateral spots 

 and a slightly fainter median stripe, a wide border to nearly 

 all the nervures and the apex of elytra, ochraceous ; a spot 

 at end of inner claval nerve, a short line at end of outer 

 claval nerve, an elongate spot at end of clavus, a spot in inner 

 discal area, interrupted lines on the nervures most conspicu- 

 ous on the reflexed veinlets and next the costa and a sub- 

 apical border, fuscous; the elytral cells whitish hyaline. 



Genitalia : 9 , ultimate ventral segment long, the posterior 

 border straight or very slightly produced at the middle. 

 Pygofers full, polished, with marginal and terminal bristles, 

 the latter strong; % , valve very short, transverse; plates 

 broad, roundingly narrowing to obtuse tip with weak mar- 

 ginal bristles; pygofers rather broad, extending half their 

 length beyond the plates and set with long, stiff bristles. 



Collected at Ames, Iowa, from July 29 to August 13. 



Specimens have also been examined from Gowanda, N. Y. 

 (VanDuzee) and western Pennsylvania (Wirtner). 



While this species has the general color of jugundus it dif- 

 fers from that species very distinctly in the oblique reflexed 

 veinlets, and in having the transverse band on the vertex, 

 instead of the two parallel spots. From immistus, intricatus, 

 and hiteolus, which it resembles in venation, it differs in color 

 and size.
