147 
Mountains, April 11, 1932. Allotype $ Santa Cruz River 
April 22, 1932, and one paratype $ Tucson, April 27, 1930. 
All taken in Arizona by the writer from bunches of mes- 
quite grass (Muklenbergia porteri) growing under spiny 
shrubs. Named in honor of E. P. Van Duzee whose foun- 
dation work on the Fulgoridae of Temperate North America 
will long endure. 
Cyrpoptus metcalfi Ball n. sp. 
Smaller and narrower than belfragei, much paler. Pale 
testaceous, the subhyaline elytra allowing the orange and 
black of the wings to show through. Length (with elytra) 
12-14 mm.; expanse 26 mm. 
Vertex roundingly produced, the margin thick and the 
surface depressed, longer than the pronotum, twice as long 
on middle as against eyes, front as seen from side strongly 
concave, the upper part and vertex compressed foliaceous, 
little if any thicker than the margin. 
Color, uniform pale cinnamon with a tawny tinge, no 
definite spots or markings, face and below pale creamy, oc- 
casionally finely irrorate with scarlet above. Vertex 
creamy, base of pronotum washed with brown omitting a 
median carina. Elytra subhyaline, under wings hyaline 
with orange nervures, the basal third reddish orange, the 
apex of the fold black, abdomen yellow above. 
Holotype $ , allotype s and 14 paratypes, August 25, 
1929, Yuma, Arizona. These were taken by the writer 
sweeping on arrowweed ( Pluchea sericea) and mesquite 
in the Colorado River bottom. Named in honor of Dr. Z. P. 
Metcalf who has recently published upon the Fulgoridae of 
the Eastern United States. From nebeculosus this species 
can be separated by its smaller, narrower form, lack of 
dark spotting and the convex ventral surface of the male 
plates while in that species they are furrowed. It is smaller 
and has a longer head than suavis, from Mexico. 
Ormenis quanta Ball n. sp. 
Form and size of pallidacosta nearly, broader, with angu- 
larly produced front. Green. Length $ 14 mm. $ 12 mm. 
Width of $ elytra at apex 8 mm.
