lowing- description of a new hemipteron belonging to the genus 
Anasa : 
DESCRIPTION OF A NEW ANASA FROM NORTH AMERICA. 
BY OTTO HEIDEMANN. 
Anasa repetita, new species. 
Elongate-oval, uniformly brown or light brown. Upper surface of body, 
and breast, with irregular rows of dark punctures; from each puncture 
arises a short, stiff, golden bristle; abdomen transversely wrinkled, the 
punctures somewhat obsolete, with finer and longer hairs which are more 
closely placed on the apex of abdomen. Head without a spine or tubercle 
near the antennae; ocelli amber-colored, blackish-edged behind; antennae 
moderately long and finely pilose; basal joint one-third longer than the 
head, gradually curved, brown, with a black line exteriorly and a few black 
dots; the black line even reaching the antenniferous tubercle; second joint 
a little longer than the first; the third nearly equal in length with the sec- 
ond, both joints about half as thick as the basal joint, black, narrowly yel- 
lowish-white at base; terminal joint shorter, fusiform and orange-colored. 
Rostrum reaching the middle coxae, light brown, black at tip. Thorax 
broader than long; the disk feebly convex, in the middle a longitudinal 
narrow, smooth whitish line; lateral margins slightly sinuate anteriorly, 
and obtusely rounded posteriorly near the humeri ; the anterior margin less 
than half as broad as the posterior; the latter considerably depressed and 
straight, the transverse raised line above the margin well defined. Scu- 
tellum wrinkled; at the basal corners a triangular, black spot and also one 
at the tip. The disk of the corium has a few dark speckles, formed by the 
more or less confluent punctures. The membrane brownish and sprinkled 
with some large, black dots, the base darker. The connexivum is edged 
with white and black lines and has on the incisures broad, whitish, trans- 
verse bands. Abdomen much rounded, luteous, on the sides of the seg- 
ments a few black spots; also one or two near the base of the coxae. Feet 
yellowish white and dotted with large, black spots. 
The genital segment of the cJ* is quite remarkable: it is a little longer 
than broad, with a transverse, shallow line before the middle, the base con- 
vexly rounded and sloping abruptly towards the apex, which is truncate, 
very feebly indented in the middle, with the corners decidedly hump-like 
in form. 
Length, $ 15 mm., cJ 1 12 mm. ; width across the thorax, $ 6 mm., c? 5 mm.
