MEMBRA Cl DAE. 
taper and acute by the front aspect; the dorsum raised into a rounded protuberance 
which posteriorly slopes to the apex. 
The procephalon has two distinct carinse, and each side of the dorsum has four 
strong carinse besides the curved ones above on the protuberance ; all the sulci or 
furrows between these carinse are thickly and deeply punctured. 
The underside is dark fuscous; the legs stout with large tarsi; the tegmina and 
wings hyaline, the former with a broad fuscous costal border; the reticulation of the 
tegmina is rather complex, but either four or five apical areas may be counted at 
the tips. 
I suggest the specific name from the character of the somewhat swollen legs and 
tarsi. 
Size, 5x4 mm.

The procephalon is reduced to a rounded eminence, and the pronotal carinse, six 
on each side, are prominent and cross the two dusky fascia; the general colour is 
pale fuscous, and mottled darker. 
Size, 5x3 mm. 
Habitat .—North America. 
Fairmaire points out the aspect of this insect as different from other species of 
Entylia, yet that it has characters essentially the same. Perhaps it might better be 
ranged under the allied genus Publilia. 
PUBLILIA GftLSEA, n.s.
