through Mexico, and now to Guatemala the most southerly 
point vet recorded. It is perhaps worthy of note that these speci¬ 
mens have typical form of head and do not approach the form 
described from Mexico as mexicana by the writer. 
Scaphoideus tesselatus n. sp. 
Size and general facies of scalaris but conspicuously tesselate; 
elvtral veins conspicuously marked with alternating black and 
white spots. Female, length 5 m. m. 
Head distinctly angulate, sub-conical; vertex margins sloping, length 
about equal to width between eyes; front elongate, narrowing slightly to 
clvpeus. Clvpeus about twice as long as broad, slightly wider at apex; 
lorae very large reaching almost the border of the cheeks which form a 
very narrow margin; genae very slightly sinuate; antennae very long, 
extending almost to tip of abdomen. Pronotum strongly arcuate in 
front; truncate behind; lateral margins very short. Costal nervures not 
re flexed; first one opposite basal part of outer ante-apical cell, ante-apical 
cells equal, parallel margined ; apical cells sub-equal in size. 
Color: Vertex blackish with two small whitish points at extreme 
apex; two small semi-circular spots between ocelli, behind which are two 
brownish depressed sub-triangular spots; faint median whitish line and 
faint whitish borders at occiput against the eyes and distinct whitish 
circles around ocelli. Face brownish; border next the vertex black, mar¬ 
gined by sinuate whitish line; antennae pallid brownish at base, seta 
darker; pronotum brown with darker fuscous on anterior border and 
irrorate with transverse whitish spots; scutellum fulvus at center, two 
fuscous spots each side, basal angles and apex yellowish white. Elytra 
golden brown with dark fuscous or blackish on the veins and at apex of 
clavus, interrupted by conspicuous white spots; three larger whitish spots 
on clavus; two on the sutural margin; one near the base next claval 
suture; three larger whitish spots on corium two corresponding with 
transverse veinules and one on first costal cross vein. Apical veins 
broadly margined with smoky fuscous. 
Genitalia: Last ventral segment of female nearly twice as long as 
the penultinate; broadly excavate and with a broad rather blunt median 
tooth; pygofers rather narrow, as long as ovipositor, narrowed posteriorly 
with rather stiff short bristles arranged in two somewhat irregular series 
each side. 
The single specimen of female was collected by Prof. J. S. 
Hine at Los Amates, Guatemala, Feb. 18-05. While distinctly 
belonging to the scalaris group, it is very distict indeed from any 
of the known species. Its handsome checkered appearance will 
readily distinguish it. 
Chlorotettix vittata. n. sp. ^ 
Greenish white with distinct fusco-hvaline lines on elytra. 
Female length to tip of elytra 7 m.m., male 6.75 m.m. 
Head scarcely as broad as pronotum; vertex round in front, scarcely 
longer at middle than next the eye; front narrowed apicallv; clvpeus 
widened at apex; lorae eliptical, rather narrow; genae with sinuate margin. 
Pronotum concave behind; elytra sub-hyaline, veins small and indistinct. 
Color: Pallid greenish white; elytra somewhat milky with two slender 
oblique lines on clavus parallel to claval suture on the corium. The first 
and longest lying in the cell between sectors of the inner vein, second and 
third in the adjacent cells; fourth in the outer ante-apical and apical cells.
