REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1904 535. blackish, the female genital segment with broad triangular exca- vation within which the ligulate process shorter, not longer than segment. Length ? 6mm, % Head broad, vertex about one and one half times as long at middle as at eye; sub- angulate, front narrowing evenly to clypeus, clypeus rounding at apex. Lores elongate, cheek rather broadly roimded at the sides, pronotum rather strongly arcuate in front, truncate behind. Color. A deep fuscous black, vertex except at base, posterior part of pronotum, elon- gate spot on elytra, bright lemon yellow; costal half of elytra light yellowish, tran- sparent, terminating abruptly and squarely near the apex; face and beneath light yellow; two conspicuous oval black spots just below the vertex almost meeting at the apex of the vertex. Small spot at base of antennae black. Genitalia. Last ventral segment of female broad, with deep triangular excavation includ- ing a short ligulate process not reaching the hind border of the segment. Pygofers with rather coarse bristles, ovipositor reaching tip of pygofer and of the same color. Male valve small, plates elongate, triangular, acu- minate, reaching beyond pygofer, the borderfig. 24 Thamnotettix ciliate exquisites Osb. i=Fe- ? . ,, ^ male dorsal view; 2=face; A number of specimens were collected m a 3=maie genitalia; 4=femaie deep wood in a boggy swamp in Hamburg foSSlii2Si£l^--?i N.

The species has such a striking resemblence superficially to c 1 i t e 1- 1 a r i u s that it is perhaps not strange that its distinctness has been overlooked. Moreover, it is very rare in collections and per- haps its occurrence in deep wood is responsible for this. Three
