Color pale ochraceous. Form short and broad. Head short and 

 broad, lateral lobes slightly in contact before tylus and leaving the 

 rounded apex slightly incised. Lateral edges lined with black and 

 slightly concave before eyes. Whole surface of head coarsely and even- 

 ly punctured with pale castaneous, punctures becoming blackish to- 

 wards sides. Antennas except for straminously colored basal segment. 

 pale rufous; second joint slightly longer than basal, third about one- 

 third longer than second, slightly incrassate, fourth and fifth joints 

 subequal in length and somewhat longer than third. Head beneath 

 except anteriorly and laterally coarsely, concolorously punctate. Pro- 

 notum and scutellum coarsely punctured with pale castaneous, punc- 

 tures arranged somewhat in irregular broken transverse rows. Sharp- 

 ly impressed lateral edge of pronotum almost straight, concolorous 

 impunctate. The median longitudinal ridge very faint. Humeral angles 

 rather prominent, rounded ; surface elevated within. Scutellum short 

 and broad, with apex narrowly rounded. Pale castaneous punctures 

 of the corium, more scattered on the disc, leaving some irregular smooth 

 areas between exterior vein and clavus. Membrane suffused with pale

Described from five males and three females in my collection 

 taken in the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, and one 5 speci- 

 men in the collection of the United States National Museum 

 from Oracle, Ariz., which bears the label Dendrocoris frutici- 

 cola Bergr. In some specimens the punctures on the sides of 

 the head, pronotum, corium and venter are blackish. 



Dendrocoris arizonensis new species. 



Very closely related to D. fruticicola Bergr. It will average a little 

 larger and proportionately broader. Ground color pale stramineous 

 closely punctured with castaneous. Humeri are equally prominent as 

 in fruticicola but usually more rounded. The connexivum is pale
