terior part with two small, glabrous spots near the anterior border. 

 Scutellum broad triangular, rounded at tip with a faint indication of a 

 carina; near the pronotal border is a shallow impression, where the 

 granules are indistinct, arranged in longitudinal rows, while the posterior 

 part of the scutellum is very coarsely transversely wrinkled. Corium 

 more finely irregularly granulated and rugulose ; the neuration of the 

 membranous part of elytra very distinct; color black with two yellow 

 spots at base near the scutellum. and one on each side next to the tip of 

 corium. The lateral lobes of the female genitalia are rounded and exactly 

 in the same line with the middle lobe, which is transverse and only a little 

 broader than the lateral lobes. Male genital segment broad, oval, poster 

 ior margin more angulate and the lateral lobes very small. 



Length of female 5.8 to 6.2 mm. ; width of abdomen 2.8 mm. 



Length of male 5.8 mm. ; width 2.6 mm. 



Hendersonville, N. C., May 26, 1903, found under bark of 

 white pine, cut last winter. 



. No. 8048, U. S. National Museum. 



This species is easily distinguished from N. simplex Uhler and 

 from N. elongatus Osborn by the conspicuously rugose surface 

 of the posterior part of the scutellum and bv the differently 

 shaped, slightly longer terminal genital segment of the male. It 

 seems to be also allied to JV. amplus Champion and JV. punctu- 

 latus Burmeister, but differs from the former in having the post- 

 ocular part of -head not spinous nor tuberculate, and is distin 

 guished from the latter species by the shorter antennae. 



I name the species in honor of Dr. A D. Hopkins, who has 

 contributed much to our knowledge of the hemipterous insects 

 living under bark of trees. 



Aneurus minutus Bergroth. 



Atieurus minutus Bergroth, Verh. Zool.-bot. Ges Wien, 1886, p. 58. 



Two specimens, male and female, from Brunswick, Ga., April 

 26, 1903 ; found in deserted galleries of a small Cerambycid in dead 

 branches of sumac. This species is recorded from Mexico and 

 the West Indies. I have also seen specimens from Arizona and 

 Southern Florida. 



Aneurus simplex Uhler. 



One example, a male, from Hoquiam, Washington State. This 

 species has more slender antennae than any other of the species, 

 and the apical joint is very long. The original specimen is re 

 corded by Prof. Ph. R. Uhler from New England. 



Aneurus fiskei, n. sp. 



Reddish brown; finely granulate and rugulose. Head slightly longer 

 than broad; front reaching to the middle of first antennal joint, spines of
