spicuous, median carina well elevated. Pronotum nearly twice 
as broad as long. Spine near base of hind tibia short, weak, 
spine near apex long stout. Male genitalia with the ventral 
gonapophyses short and stout, contiguous to their apices which 
are obliquely truncate; lateral gonapophyses elongate, widely 
separated basally, contiguous apically, the apices claw-shaped 
with the two claws inclosing a nearly circular area; oedagus 
slender, inclosed in an evident sheath basally; tenth and eleventh 
segments sub equal. 
In saccharina the ventral gonapophyses are elongate, con- 
tiguous to the apical third, then curvingly separated ending in 
short blunt processes; the lateral gonapophyses are elongate well 
separated basally then contiguous in the middle of their length 
and then widely divergent, the claws inclosing a long oval area.

Leocomia Ball. 
The genus Leocomia was described by Ball in 1919 (Proc. 
Iowa Acad. XXVI: 143-150) from a single specimen from Hayti. 
We describe below six new species of this interesting genus which 
seems to be West Indian in its distribution. Our species differ 
from the generic description as given by Ball in having a pro- 
minent spine in the middle of the hind tibiae, and in other minor 
points, but we do not think that they are generically distinct. 
One of these forms was collected from Pilia sp. but the food 
plants of the others are not known. 
Leocomia grisea, n. sp. 
A uniform grayish species, the largest of the genus from 
Cuba, with a well produced vertex and strongly sloping wings. 
Vertex flat, strongly produced in front of the eyes, grad- 
ually narrowed to the apex; ocelli slightly nearer each other 
than the eyes; eyes moderately large, not prominent; frons 
flat; pronotum but little longer than the produced vertex; 
anterior margin broadly rounded, posterior margin shallowly
