third cross incision; lateral cariuae sub-distinct; anterior portion rugose 
on the dorsum, and wrinkled on the sides; disk of the posterior lobe 
flat, covered with elongate tubercles, sides granulose; anterior margin 
sub-truncate; apex about a right angle. Elytra and wings extend be¬ 
yond the abdomen. Antennae slightly passing the thorax. 
Color .—(dried after immersion in alcohol)—Pale reddish-brown. 
Elytra brownish at the base, paler and semi-pellucid toward the apex, 
with dim, brown, cellular spots scattered somewfliat equally over it, 
fading toward the apex; in some specimens are almost or quite obso¬ 
lete; in others they are distinct, somewhat fuscous, and partia'ly run 
together. Wings pale-red at base (orange red when living); crossed by 
a narrow, somewhat broken, cellular, dark band beyond the middle, 
which curves round the posterior border, decreasing rapidly and not 
quite reaching the anal angle; a broad ray of the same running up 
the front margin to the base. Posterior femora dull yellow, with no 
distinct bands. 
Dimensions .—1.4 to 1.6 inch; elytra 1.25 to 1.30 inch; hind femora 
0.70 to 0.75 inch; hind tibiae 0.62 inch. 
21. HIPPISCUS CORALLIPES var. RUGOSUS. Scudd. 
(Oeclipoda rucjosa , Scudd.) 
Head and thorax of unusual depth in the female; head rather broader 
than the middle of the pronotum. Vertex broad, transverse, with two 
rather distinct sub-pentagonal foveolse, the sharper angle directed ob¬ 
liquely backward toward the eye; lateral foveolae small; frontal costa 
flat or convex above the ocellus, scarcely sulcate in the lower part; 
face seen from the side arcuate. Antennae of the female small, not 
reaching the apex of the pronotum; those of the male flattened and 
longer. Pronotum rugose with small tubercles and raised lines; less 
so in the male; median carina distinct, but not elevated, cut rather 
behind the middle; posterior lobe with the disk flat; lateral carinae 
sub-distinct on the anterior and posterior lobes. Wings and elytra a 
little longer than the abdomen. Posterior femora very broad, about 
as long as the abdomen in the female. 
Color. —Yellowish-brown, varied with fuscous. Head and thorax 
brown, mottled with darker brown; males sometimes reddish-brown, 
not mottled. Two yellowish bands run from behind the eyes back¬ 
ward and inward, nearly or quite meeting one another a little in ad¬ 
vance of the middle of the promotum, where they diverge and strike 
the hind margin of the promotum at the outer angles; two or three 
dull yellowish spots on the sides. Elytra pale ash-brown, with large 
fuscous spots, and a narrow pale stripe along the dorsal angle. Disk 
of the wings yellow, varying in different specimens from pale-trans¬ 
parent to orange-yellow; a moderately broad, dusky band across the
