dull blackish from near base to the tip, very stout and long, 

 somewhat thickened towards the tip, the apical joints a little 

 infuscated ; rostrum pale testaceous, the basal joint more or less 

 piceous. Pronotum very moderately convex, highly polished, 

 punctures sparse and almost obliterated, the posterior angles 

 prominent, followed next inwardly by a distinct sinus ; bound- 

 aries of the feeble callosities well defined, the pair separated by 

 a transverse indentation. Scutellum with a few wrinkles and 

 obsolete punctures, next the bas^e transversely impressed. 

 Middle of mesosternum and generally the whole of the meta- 

 sternum piceous like the venter. Legs pale testaceous, the pos- 

 terior femora with two uneven rows of brown points, apex of 

 tarsi, and sometimes tip of tibiae infuscated. Hemelytra highly 

 polished, more or less embrowned, obsoletely punctate, more 

 coarsely and distinctly punctate in the sutures. 



Length to tip of abdomen, 3 millims ; to tip of membrane, 

 3J millims. Width of base of pronotum, 1 full millim. 



By the kind courtesy of Mr. E. P. Van Duzee I have been

 Capsid, which were captured in July at Coldon, New York. 

 It gives me pleasure to recognize his ardent zeal in bringing

 insect, but of smaller size, occurs in Maryland, Virginia, North 

 Carolina, and Florida. 



Myrmecoraria. 



Mimoceps. New genus. 



Nabiform, elongate subcylindrical, polished, head almost 

 globose, wider than the fore part of thorax, somewhat conical 

 in front owing to the prominence of the tylus ; face almost 

 vertical ; eyes large, prominent, hemispherical, separated from 

 the pronotum by a stricture of the occipital portion ; antennae 

 slender, almost setaceous, as long as or longer than the body, 

 the second joint about three times as long as the basal one, the 

 third only a little shorter than the second, basal joint greatly 

 constricted at base ; rostrum slender, reaching to near the
