in Cuba, Mexico and Brazil. 
Nemobius mormonius, sp. nov. 
Head fiavo-testaceous, marked slightly with fuscous, not very full; antennae 
flavous, inclining to testaceous, sometimes a little infuscated; maxillary palpi flavous, 
the last joint only about half as long again as the penultimate, its apical third infus¬ 
cated. Pronotum flavous, much marked and blotched with fuscous, especially in the 
central portion of the disk and at the lower margin, equal, less than half as broad 
again as long, clothed sparsely with moderately long black hairs. Tegmina no longer 
than head and pronotum together, covering only half of the abdomen, apically trun¬ 
cate, black, with the veins, a humeral stripe, and both inner and costal margins pallid. 
Legs testaceous, more or less infuscated. Ovipositor much longer than head and 
pronotum together, much shorter than the hind femora, very feebly arcuate, slender, 
the apical blades distinctly enlarged at the base, long, tapering regularly and gently 
to a very fine point, delicately but not very closely serratulate. Length of body, 7 
mm.; of hind femora, 4.75 mm.; of ovipositor, 3.5 mm. 
29, and one nymph. St. George, Utah, April (E. Palmer). 
Nemobius toltecus. 
Nemobius toltecus Saussure, Rev. Mag. Zool. 1859, 316; Id. Miss. Scient. 
Mex. Rech. Zool. VI, 386 (1874). 
See the remarks under the next species. 
The tegmina cover the abdomen in the $, but only about one-half 
of it in the 9 , and in both wings are wanting. Originally described 
from Mexico (Oaxaca is specified by Saussure in 1874), I have seen spe¬ 
cimens only from the same country—Orizaba, Jalapa and Tepic, all 
through Prof. L. Bruner, the last from the collections of the California 
Academy of Sciences. 
Nemobius mexicanus. 
Nemobius mexicanus Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt. Brit. Mus. I, 57 (1869). 
Nemobius sp. Bruner! N. A. Fauna, VII, 266 (1893). 
It would seem impossible to determine Walker’s species with any 
certainty without reference to his type. His description is about equally 
applicable to the present species, and to N. toltecus, but I have regarded 
this as more probably Walker’s species from his description of the head, 
which cannot apply to N. toltecus, while Saussure’s description seems 
to exclude the present species. The essential distinctions between the 
two are given in my table. 
The $ tegmina cover the abdomen, but those of the 9 are shorter 
and wings are wanting in both. It was originally described from 
Oaxaca, Mex.; Bruner’s specimen, as quoted above, comes from Pana-
