Some dozens of specimens of this pretty species have passed 

 through my hands. It would seem to be quite common near the 

 coast of California, and to extend pretty far south there. It 

 occurs near San Francisco in the month of April. Messrs. 

 James Behrens and Henry Edwards gave me specimens from 

 that locality. Dr. J. L. LeConte sent to me specimens from 

 Fort Tejon, and from the island of Santa Cruz. From Mr. 

 Cassino I have received specimens collected near San Diego, 

 and more recently a very dark variety of this species has been 

 sent to me from Los Angeles by Mr. D. W. Coquillett. 



CoquiUettia. New genus. 



This genus is signalized by an extreme development of the 

 wings and hemelytra, which are nearly four times as wide as 

 the clavate end of the abdomen in the male, while the abdomen 

 is scarcely more than half their length, and its middle segments 

 are contracted to a mere peduncle. Upper surface opaque, 

 minutely punctate. Head narrow and long, almost vertical, 

 with the front of the vertex wider than the apex of the prono- 

 tum, the base contracted into a short neck, but destitute of a 

 carina, eyes large, very prominent, oval, placed almost vertical, 

 face very narrow below the eyes, acutely subconical, the tylus 

 tapering to an almost acute point, compressed on the sides, and 

 bounded by a grooved short line next the base ; jugum very 

 short, elongate, tapering at tip, much shorter than the gena 

 against M^hich it rests, gena narrow fusiform, sulcated near the 

 tip ; rostrum stouter than in Closterocoris, reaching to near the 

 middle coxae, the basal joint thick, reaching to about the mid- 

 dle line of the eye, the second joint extending to near the tip of 

 the anterior coxa, the third shorter than the fourth, and the 

 fourth acute, about two-thirds as long as the second. Prono- 

 tum short, campanuliform, contracted before the middle, and 

 constricted behind the broad collum of the anterior margin, pos- 

 terior lobe convex, anterior narrow, sub-cylindrical, the callosi- 

 ties prominent, bounded behind by a wide depression, the line 

 between them a little carinate with a transverse indentation in 

 front of it, humeral angles sub-acute, with the lateral edge 

 feebly reflexed from that point a little way forwards, anterior
