NOTULAE ENTOM OLOGICAE 1922 II 
about as long as broad, nearly twice as long as anterior lobe. Scu- 
tellar and postscutellar spine suberect. Elytra rounded at apex, but 
truncate or subsinuate at the tip of the apical vein, with a conspi¬ 
cuous unspotted area behind the stigma, which has two or three fus¬ 
cous spots, apical vein bordered with white, radial cross-vein some¬ 
what curved, the intero-apical sinuosity of the membranal cell shallow 
and rounded. Fore legs pale testaceous or whitish; coxae with a 
narrow fuscous ring in the apical half; femora suffused with brownish 
near the base and with three fuscous rings, one just before and one 
behind the middle, tke third, which is much broader than the others, 
near apex; tibiae with four fuscous rings, the first (subbasal) much 
narrower than the others, the last occupying the apex. Middle and 
hind legs white, their femora with 8—11 blackish rings, most of the 
rings very narrow, the tibiae with 12—14 blackish rings, their apical 
part brownish without annulations; hind femora passing apex of ab¬ 
domen by at least one-third their length. 
I possess this species only from Bedford Co., Pennsylvania, and 
Van Duzee has sent me, under the name errabunda Say, a speci¬ 
men with the label „Ks“, which I suppose is Kansas. 
Neither the spine at the anterior end of the pronotal lateral ledge 
nor the striking colour-markings of the wings are mentioned in the 
very succinct original description (the „wings" in Banks’ description 
being the elytra), but as no other species with a black-tuberculate 
pronotum is known north of Florida, I suppose I have interpreted the 
species correctly. 
A female specimen from Florida (Tampa, Van Duzee) comes 
near tuberculata, but belongs apparently to a new species. The first 
antennal joint and the hind femora are shorter than in tuberculata , 
the elytra are pointed at apex, the radial cross-vein is straight, the 
first rostral joint and fore coxae have two dark annulations, and the 
venter has not only the bare median line, as all other species, but 
also two bare spots at the apical margin of the 3 d, 4 th, and 5 th 
segments. It is not in sufficiently good condition to found a species 
upon. 
P. mansueta n. sp. — Head fuscous with lighter or whitish 
markings, posterior lobe as long as broad, distinctly narrowed from 
the eyes to the base, laterally a little rounded, antennae glabrous, 
white, first joint longly passing base of abdomen but not reaching 
its middle, with 10—12 narrow blackish rings, second joint distinctly 
shorter than first, with 8—11 similar blackish rings, third about one- 
third the length of second, fourth more than one-third but less than 
one-half the length of third, a little dusky at base and toward apex, 
rostrum white, two rings of first joint, a broader basal and a narrower 
apical ring of second, and apical half of third blackish, second joint 
very slightly broader at base than at apex. Pronotum conspicuously 
sloping, distinctly narrowed from base to apex, anterior lobe fuscous, 
posterior lobe testaceous with two subelevated whitish vittae, about 
as long as broad and nearly two times longer than fore lobe, basal 
margin and !he lateral ledge white. Scutellum and postscutellum
