Length about .05 to .07 of an inch. The species of this genus, as 
far as known, never acquire wings. 
Found during September, at Carbondale, Illinois, on the roots of 
Eleusine indica. 
Tychea panici, new sp.* 
Antennae very short, in the specimens examined, which appear to be 
scarcely fully grown; not reaching beyond the prothorax, apparently 
five-jointed ; joints nearly equal to each other, sub-moniliform. Body 
ovate, very convex. Apparently without eyes, at least I failed to find 
them with a pretty high power, yet Mr. Pergande appears to have 
found specimens in which they were minutely represented, as shown in 
the figure drawn by him. Beak very short, reaching but little beyond 
the first coxae. Legs unusually short, the hind pair being scarcely 
longer than the others. Without honey- tubes of anything representing 
them. Divisions between the segments not well marked Uniform 
orange red or reddish-yellow ; beak tipped with fuscous. Length not 
more than about .04 of an inch. 
Found during October, by Mr. Th. Pergande, at St. Louis, Mo., on 
' the roots of Panicum glabrum. 
This is probably a species of Tychea , which has, according to Koch, 
six-jointed antennae, but according to Passerini, only five. 
* The winged form of this species has probably been discovered by Mr. Per- 
gande since the above description was printed. It apparently belongs to the genus 
Schizoneura.
