Morse.] 230 [Feb. 21, 
to Prof. Lawrence Bruner and to the collection of Cornell uni- 
versity. These I have re-examined in connection with this paper 
and labeled as types. 
Size moderate. Rather glabrous. Body stout, less compressed than 
scudderi. Color brownish or blackish fuscous in spots and bands on an 
ash-gray ground, darker above, lighter below, the abdomen drying some- 
what yellowish. Usually a more or less distinct ashy X on the disk of 
pronotura. 
Head of moderate size, compressed above, expanded below; cheeks 
rather tumid below ; the vertex rather broad, more declivent than the 
occiput, anteriorly shallowly excavate with a perceptible median ridge. 
Face slightly convex in profile; costa rounded at its union with the 
vertex; lateral carinae distinct. Eyes of inodei'ate size, in the ^ sub- 
prominent. Antennae long, passing prouotum, in the $ reaching fossa 3. 
Head blackish above; face and cheeks pale ash-gray, irrorate and 
punctate with black and deep brown. Eyes griseous. Antennae 
fuscous, black at tip, the proximal two thirds annulate with pale, the 
aunulations broadest at base and becoming very nari-ow distally. 
Pronotura (see fig.) stout, slightly compressed anteriorly, broad and 
scarcely compressed posteriorly. Front margin of disk slightly angu- 
lated, hind margin right-angled (?) or slightly acute ($), the apex 
rather blunt. Median carina rather low, scarcely compressed at the base 
on prozona, compressed and well developed on anterior half of metazona, 
almost disappearing on posterior half; sinuous above on prozona, arched 
and highest anteriorly on metazona, the principal sulcus cutting it in a 
vertical incision, the notch deep and rather widely open, its front margin 
formed by a distinct Imckward-directed tooth. The disk of the metazona 
is considerably arched in median section, rendering the posterior half of 
its carina extremely low. The disk of the prozona slopes rather gradu- 
ally up to the carina, which is scarcely compressed on its posterior half. 
Lateral carinae showing on the metazona, where they are rounded, and 
indistinctly on the anterior third of prozona. The sulci rather deeply 
impressed, giving a rugose appearance. Disk usually marked with ashy 
in the form of an X, widest behind, bordered by the lateral carinae. 
Apex of metazonal process often ashy. Lateral lobes pale, more or less 
marmorate with black; two indistinct black bands parallel to lateral 
carinae, the dorsal bordering them, the ventral midway down, both more 
distinct on prozona. 
Tegmina passing hind femora by one fourth to one third their length, 
more or less transversely trifasciate with fuscous, at the base brownisli 
fuscous; the tip transparent with numerous fuscous, more or less fenes- 
trated spots; venules of base often lighter than membrane, giving a 
reticulated appearance. 
Disk of wings sulphur-yellow, the veins and venules rarely infuscated, 
its antero-posterior diameter about equal to its proximo-distal. Beyond, 
a broad fuscous band reaching the anal angle and sending off near costal
