tuclinal median impression rather broad, the intrahumeral impression 

 evanescent anteriorly, humeral angles armed with a short acute spine, 

 disk unarmed. Scutellum slightly recurved at apex. Hemelytra (?) 

 not reaching middle of last dorsal segment, the prolonged exterioi 

 apical part of the corium almost hyaline at and before the apical angle, 

 membrane subhyaline, its exterior basal cell passing apical angle 

 of corium. Abdomen shortly spined at the apical angles of the first 

 two segments. Hind femora reaching base of sixth abdominal segment. 

 Length, $ 19 mm. 



North Carolina (Roanoke Island, G. P. Engelhardt). 



This very distinct species is described from a single speci- 

 men in de la Torre Bueno's collection. It is exactly inter- 

 mediate in structure between the subgenera Doldina and 

 Hygromystes, agreeing with the former in the unarmed disk 

 of the posterior pronotal lobe, with the latter in the spinous 

 humeral angles. 



Doldina praetermissa n. sp. 



Testaceous, shortly pilose above, more longly so on the upper side of 

 the head on the first two antennal joints, on the underside of the body, 

 along the abdominal margin, and on the legs, head more or less infus- 

 cated on the sides, upper side of postocular part sometimes with two 

 narrow ferruginous vittae behind the ocelli, venter sometimes with a sub- 

 lateral brown vitta. Head shorter than pronotum, first joint of anten- 

 nae slightly passing apex of scutellum, second joint as long as post- 

 ocular part of head and eye together. Pronotum rather more than one- 

 half longer than the width between the humeral angles, anterior lobe 

 smooth, in fresh specimens with some subreticulated pubescent lines, 

 posterior lobe unarmed, finely and thickly rugulosely punctate with five 

 shallow and rather narrow longitudinal furrows, the middle furrow be- 

 ing more distinct. Abdomen with a short spine at the apical angles of 

 the first and second segments. Posterior femora reaching or nearly 

 reaching the base of the sixth ventral segment. Length, Q 16-17 mnl - 



Florida (Charlotte Harbor, Mrs. A. T. Slosson) ; British 

 Honduras (Belize, C. F. Baker). 



Allied to D. lauta Stal, but it is smaller and the posterior 

 lobe of the pronotum is somewhat differently sculptured with 

 the median furrow narrower and less deep. 



Of this species I have seen two specimens ; the description 

 is, of course, founded on both, and I must thus refrain from 

 designating only one of them as "type." When an author
