15. Parajiilus annectans, new species. 



Closely related to P. nigrans Chamberlin, described from near Nashville, 

 which it mugh resembles in its small size, though more slender, and in its dark 

 coloration. The dorsum above the repugnatorial pores, however, is lighter, 

 having a reddish tinge, and is marked with a median longitudinal dark line. 



In the original description of nigrans the anal tergite is said not to exceed 

 the valves, but reexamination shows this to be due to the fact that the valves are 

 not fully closed. In the present species the anal tergite is acutely produced well 

 bevond the valves, the mucro straight.

Ihe two species are clearly distinct in the structure of the gonopods of 



male, although m this closer to each other than to any other known species In 



annectans the posterior division of the anterior gonopods is broader and shorter 



relatively to the anterior division, distally broadly rounded, not distally narrowed 



and bent in mesad. The principal blade of the posterior gonopod is covered in 



lateral view by the anterior gonopod, whereas in nigrans it descends well below 



the level of the anterior member; distal end in annectans with distoventral corner 



angled and extended ventrad as shown in fig. 1, 2 instead of being rounded as 



It IS m nigrans. (See fig. 1, 2,). Anterior gonopod as shown in fig. 1, 1. Spine 



from base of posterior gonopod long and acute, extending ventrad. 



Number of segments, forty-eight.

 During the four years which have elapsed since the publication of my 

 New England Li.'^t of Hemiptera-Heteroptera^ I have made an efifort to keep 

 track of all additions to this fauna which have come to light. In 1919 I published
