New Species of Ohio Fulgoridae. 
45 
tibiae, dull black ; hind tibiae, fuscous, indistinctly annulated with yellow- 
ish; tibial spur and first and second joints of tarsus, yellowish white. Third 
joint of tarsus and claws, black. 
Brachypierous, male. Color as in the female, bitt the black of 
elytra and head more intense and white a purer white. Length, 
2.3 mm. 
Structural characters of the body as in the female, the difference lying in 
the size and the intensitj' of the color marking. The tibiae slightly more 
dilated. 
Genitalia. Pygofer excavated ventrally ; styles narrow, nearly parallel, 
slightly curved dorsalh’. 
Macroptcrous, male. Black with the white bars on the vertex 
and front and tip of scutelhim faintl}' white. Length to tip of 
elytra, 3.2 mm. 
Head as in bracli3-pterous forms, the carinae of the vertex apparent!}’ a 
little stronger. The hind border of pronotum broadly sinuate. Scutelhim 
larger, broader than in the brachypterous form, with the posterior lateral 
margins concave. Elytral neuration strong, veins tuberculate, having short 
setae. Almost entirely black. Differs from the brachypterous form in not 
having white on pronotum and scutelluni. Vertex barely shows traces of 
white margin, front has the transverse bars and lateral spots distinct, with 
apical border distinct but narrow ; tip of scutelluni is faintly whitish ; the 
antennae are brownish ; the apex of the first joint, black ; femora, yellowish 
brown ; anterior and middle tibiae, black ; tip of tibiae and first and second 
tarsal joints, white ; hind legs mostly brownish ; tips of spines and claws, 
black. 
Macroptcrous, female. Black with margins of vertex in front 
and tarsal joints white, as in the brachypterous forms. 
Pilytra hyaline with a fuscous spot at vertex of clavus. This form agrees 
with the macropterous male, except that the hind border of the pronotum is 
more broadly whitened. White markings of the vertex more distinct near 
the apex. The color as a whole somewhat less intensely black. A single 
specimen of this form, which must evidently be associated with the preced- 
ing. 
Described from two brachypterous females, two brachypter- 
ous males, and one macropterous male, collected in Columbus, O., 
by i\Ir. Albert Koebele, September, 1903. One macropterous 
female collected in “D. C.,” May. , 
This is one of the most elegant Delphacids which has yet come 
to light in Ohio fauna, and I take special pleasure in dedicating 
it to my friend, Mr. Albert Koebele, who collected these and a 
number of other interesting fulgorids here the past summer. 
It resembles nervatus but differs particularly in the white tar- 
sal joints and in the extent of the frontal bars, and in the color- 
ing of the pronotum and .scutelluni.
