the tip touches the elytra; male plates two and one-half times longer than 
wide, inner margins straight, outer narrowing slightly to just before the 
tip, where they are cut off obliquely, together forming a V-shaped trough, 
inclined slightly upwards. 
Habitat: Specimens are at hand from Ontario, New Hamp- 
shire, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, District of 
Columbia, Maryland, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Missis- 
sippi, Ohio, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and 
Texas. 
LEPYRONIA ANGULIFERA Uhler. 
Lepyronia angutifera Uhler. List Hemip. West Miss. Riv., p. 348, 1876. 
Deep testaceous, with grayish-golden pubescence, the tips 
of the elytra broadly grayish, subhyaline; margin of vertex 
nearly straight, the tip produced; length 96 mm., ^5mm. ; 
width 2.5mm. 
Vertex sloping, disc convex, broader than long, about equaling the 
pronotum, margins slightly carinate, straight or sinuate, the apex pro- 
duced; tylus narrow, parallel margined, one-half the length of the vertex; 
face moderately inflated, forming an acute angle with the vertex; pronotum 
more than twice wider than long, the anterior margin gently curving, 
back of which there is a series of depressions; lateral margins distinctly 
oblique; elytra coriaceous, distinctly angulate along the claval suture, the 
disc of the corium inflated, outer margin broadly rounding, apex round- 
ingly angulate; width of apex of hind tibia one-third its length. 
Color: Testaceous, elytra beyond clavus grayish sub-hyaline, the 
nervures darker, another light band across the middle, this latter often 
reduced to two spots on the centers of the costal margins; whole upper sur- 
face slightly grayish, irridescent from the pubescence. 
Genitalia: In the female, similar to ^-angularis, the ovipositor longer, 
exserted; male plates broad and convex at base, rapidly narrowing one- 
third their width, then nearly parallel margined to the rounding apex, 
about twice longer than their middle width, convex, inner margins 
attingent. 
Habitat: Specimens are at hand from Jacksonville, Cres- 
cent City, Indian reservation, and Duval county, Florida, and 
Uhler reports it from Maryland and New Jersey. 
The smaller size, narrower form and sloping, pointed 
vertex, as well as the subhyaline apex of the elytra, readily 
distinguish this species. 
LEPYRONIA GIBBOSA 11. Sp. 
Large; light-grayish brown, broader and more inflated than 
Jf-angularis or even the European coleopterata; vertex long, 
sloping, the margins concave; length 98 -lOmm., ^6-7mm. ; 
width 9 4-5mm., ,^3.5-4mm.
