nearly equal, the following subequal and together longer than the second. 

 Thorax very faintly and distantly punctate, short, truncate in front and 

 behind, or somewhat emarginate in front, the base more tiian twice the 

 breadth of the apex, the sides oblique and nearly straight; scutellum mod- 

 erately large. Legs slender but not very long. Hemelytra fuscous like 

 the body, the membrane small and pale fuliginous. 



Length, 4.75'"'"; breadth, 2""". 



Florissant. Three specimens, Nos. 851, 3480, 4500. 



2. Capsus lacus. 

 PI. 22, Fig. 2. 



Head small, roundly and not veiy strong-ly produced in front of the 

 eyes ; first joint of antennae rather stout, nearly or quite as long as the 

 head, the second much slenderer, equal, as far as preserved nearly twice as 

 long as the first. Thorax ver}' obscurely punctate, truncate at either 

 extremity or a little and roundly emarginate in front, the base more than 

 twice, probablv two and a half times, broader than the apex, the sides 

 strongly oblique and straight. Legs rather stout and not long. 



Length, 6 5°"" ; breadth, 2.5""'. 



Florissant. One specimen. No. 128. 



APOREMA gen. nov. {d7r< prj/ua). 



I am unable to decide upon the precise position of the insect here con- 

 cerned, though it appears to belong in or near the Ph^-tocoraria. The 

 head, which has been uncovered since the plate was engi-aved, is less than 

 half as broad as the thorax, but more than twice as broad as long, and thus 

 exceptionally small. The thorax, about twice as broad as long, is poste- 

 riorly truncate, while the front narrows rapidl}' but with a rounded curve 

 to the narrow neck ; it is not carinate. The scutellum is of large size, 

 equiangular, with perfectly sti-aight sides. The tegmina are slender, with 

 gently convex costa, the apical margin oblique, but the neuration can be 

 made out in the single specimen known neither here nor in the wings. The 

 hind legs are rather long and slender, the femora extending far beyond the 

 sides of the body and apparently as long as the breadth of the base of the 

 abdomen, the tibiae still longer with a row of very shoi-t ami inconspicuous
