and it has been reported from Maryland and Hudson’s Bay 
( prasina ). In this species the vertex and anterior part of 
pronotum are pale yellow, the lines on vertex obscure 
while the spots are distinct, while in the preceding species 
the vertex and anterior part of pronotum are washed with 
greenish and the lines are all dark and distinct. 
Draeculacephala floridana n. sp. Plate VI, Fig. 6. 
Resembling mollipes in size and length of head, the ver- 
tex slightly longer, the margin thicker, the apex acute 
conical, upturned. Front and vertex mottled with brown. 
Length of male, 6.5-7 mm. 
Vertex acute conical, the lateral margins thick, one-fourth 
longer than the pronotum, disc concave anteriorly, front in profile 
broadly convex, the clypeus small, in the same curve. Pronotum as 
in mollipes , elytra similar to reticulata , but with fewer reticula- 
tions. 
Color; front and vertex mottled with light brown and pale, a 
minute polished dot of light at the apex slightly margined with dark 
brown, a light median line ending in an irregular spot in front of 
the middle, the inner margin of the ocelli broadly white, frontal 
sutures with black lines to the ocelli. Pronotum pale the disc, 
omitting a median line, green. Elytra green, the margins and 
nervures pale. 
Genitalia; male, ultimate segment nearly square, valve almost 
concealed, plates a little longer than the segment, attenuately 
pointed. 
Described from two males from Charlotte Harbor, Flor- 
ida, from the Iowa State College collection (Van. D. Coll.) y 
through the kindness of Professor Summers. 
The long, brown mottled, upturned vertex will at once 
distinguish this species. 
Draeculacephala gillettei n. sp. Plate VI, Fig. 7. 
Intermediate in form and size between floridana and 
reticulata , somewhat stouter, vertex not quite as long as 
the pronotum. Color grayish cinereous, a dark wedge on 
vertex. Length, 9 6 mm., 5.25 £ mm.; width, 1.5 mm. 
Vertex broad, slightly convex, apex blunt, not quite as long as 
the pronotum, lateral margins rounding to the convex front. Front 
in profile convex, lower part of clypeus rounding back from the 
curve of the front. Pronotum broad, slightly angularly emarginate
