blackish fuscous. Pronotum equal, much less than half as broad again as long, 
sparsely beset with black bristles of no great length, fuscous, with a more or less dis¬ 
tinct, sometimes very distinct, testaceous, humeral stripe. Tegmina of $ shorter 
than the abdomen, very pale testaceous, strongly infumated at base, the lateral 
field with a piceous stripe; of 9 covering a little more than half of the abdomen, 
very broadly rounded or subtruncate apically, testaceous with the lateral piceous 
stripe of the $ and a basal dorsal piceous spot. Legs fusco-testaceous. Ovipositor 
scarcely as long as the hind femora, straight or very faintly arcuate, the apical blades 
scarcely enlarged at the base, slender and tapering regularly to a fine point, with 
open serration. Length of body, $ , 7.5 mm., 9, 8 mm.; of hind femora, $, 6.6 
mm., 9,6.25 mm.; of ovipositor 6 mm. 
i $ , 2 $. Spring Lake, Utah, July (U. S. Nat. Mus.) ; Salt Lake 
Valley, Utah, Aug. 1-4; an immature $ was also taken at same date. 
This is a smaller species than N. fasciati/s, with relatively shorter 
ovipositor. 
Nemobius ambitiosus. 
Nemobius ai?ibitiosus Scudder ! Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. XIX, 81 (1871). 
This species is only known in brachypterous form and is probably 
never macropterous. It has been found only in Florida, at Ft. Reed 
(Comstock), Charlotte Harbor (Mrs. Slosson), Sandford (Frazer), 
Indian River (Priddy), and Jacksonville (Ashmead). The last two 
localities are derived from Bruner’s collection. 
Nemobius neomexicanus, sp. nov. 
Head rather tumid, fusco.s or fusco-castaneous, paler below; eyes rather 
small, not very prominent; antennae dull luteous, maxillary palpi luteous, the last 
joint infuscated only at extreme tip. Pronotum tapering slightly forwards, less than 
half as broad again as long, sparingly beset with long black bristles, testaceous or 
fusco-testaceous. Tegmina of both sexes as long as the abdomen, infumated except 
along the sides of the dorsal surface and the costal margin, which are pallid, apically 
strongly rounded, the lateral field in the 9 subequal basally, tapering only on the 
apical third; wings twice as long. Legs luteo-testaceous, the hind femora a little 
infuscated. Cerci slender, hardly so long as the pronotum and tegmina together. 
Ovipositor about as long as head and pronotum together, straight, the apical blades 
not basally enlarged, tapering regularly to a point, above sharply, rather strongly, 
and rather distantly denticulate. Length of body, $ , 7 mm., 9 > 7- 2 5 mm.; of hind 
femora, , 4.5 mm., 9 > 5 mm.; of ovipositor, 3 mm.

Nemobius trinitatis, sp. nov 
Head rather tumid, fuscous; eyes hardly at all tumid; antennae testaceous; 
maxillary palpi pallid, the last joint more or less infuscated apically, not more than 
half as long again as the penultimate joint. Pronotum scarcely tapering, about half
