Vertex twice wider than long, slightly longer on middle than at eye, 
margin rounding, tip slightly produced, front twice wider at ocelli than 
on clypeus, base of suture rounding; clypeus broadest at the tip; pronotum 
one-half longer than vertex, slightly concave behind lateral margins, short, 
rounding; elytra as in lasoria, central anteapical cell constricted. 
Color: Fulvous maculate with dark chestnut, vertex light fulvous, ocelli 
white, connected by a light line which runs forward on the tip; a round 
spot on either side at the base of vertex and a median line, extending for- 
ward to the white transverse line, chestnut; front fulvous with dark 
sutures and abbreviated arcs along the lateral margins dark chestnut; 
remainder of the face pale yellow with dark figure; pronotum fulvous with 
the anterior margin maculate with chestnut and bright yellow; scutellum 
fulvous with a quadrate light-yellow area on disk containing two round 
chestnut spots; elytral nervures light, chestnut-margined. 
Genitalia: Ultimate ventral segment of female twice wider than long, 
posterior margin slightly notched, much depressed in the middle, givingit 
the appearance of being angularly excavated; pygofers very narrow, long, 
strongly spined; male valve broad, about equaling the ultimate segment in 
length; plates broad at base, convexly rounding, with stout spines to the 
nearly parallel margined attenuate, unarmed tips. 
Described from two males and three females. Collected at 
Ames, Iowa. One specimen received from Douglass county, 
Kan. (Kellogg). 
[Note — Since writing this as the description of a new species, an 
examination of the Gillette and Baker type has enabled us to refer our 
specimens to their species. As their description was from male alone, we 
have thought best to allow our description, which covers both sexes, to 
stand as sent to printer.] 
THAMNOTETTIX PERSPICILLATA N. SP. 
Form of longula nearly, but much smaller; elytra hyaline 
with numerous black spots; length, 3.50 to 4 mm. ; width, .9 mm. 
Vertex scarcely wider at base than long, little longer at middle than on 
eye, evenly rounding to front: front inflated, long, roundingly narrowing 
to the small clypeus; clypeus broadening at apex; gense distinctly angled, 
nearly straight margined below; pronotum slightly longer than vertex, 
lateral margins obsolete, posterior angles approaching right angles; elytral 
venation strong, similar to longula, appendix distinct. 
Color: Pearl gray; ocelli large, white; vertex light cream color, washed 
with orange; two approximate oblique dashes on the tip, continuing as lines 
to the ocelli, and a round spot just behind either ocellus, black; a double 
median light brown line deflected to either side, just before the middle, 
forming two chestnut crescents on the disk; basal half of the disk on either 
side, with a large fulvous ring, enclosing a white spot; pronotum gray, 
with six white-margined, black spots, arranged in pairs on the anterior 
margin; scutellum pale yellow, with about five black spots; elytra milky, 
sub-hyaline, with a fulvous iridescence; nine black spots on each elytron, as 
follows: Three equidistant small spots on the sutural margin, a spot on the
