fnscons. Tergiim mostly piceons brown with the posterior 

 edges of the segments testaceous or fulvous, the apical 

 segments short ; venter pale green, a little piceous at base 

 of segments, with the lateral edge blackish piceous, the last 

 ventral segment sub-triangular, transversely wrinkled, sub- 

 truncated, piceons before the tip. 



Length to tip of abdomen, 23-25 millims ; width of base 

 of pronotum, 9-10 millims ; expanse of wing-covers, 66-70 

 millims.

OBSERVATIONS ON SOME REMARKABLE HETEROPTERA 



OF NORTH AMERICA. 



By p. R. Uhler. 



Within the last few years various novel forms of He- 

 miptera, in both Heteroptera and Homoptera, have been 

 gathered in, especially from the more recently populated 

 States, such as Arizona, New Mexico and Southern Cali- 

 fornia. But our own eastern region is also yielding novel- 

 ties, and through the careful collecting done by a few of our 

 entomologists, especially of Washington, we are acquiring 

 a closer knowledge of the smaller forms belonging to the 

 Fauna east of the mountains in Maryland and Virginia. 

 Notably is this the case in the families Capsidae, Tingidae^ 

 Anthocordiae and Coricidae. In some of the families, 

 however, at present known by but few forms, there are some 

 remarkable types of structure which seem deserving of 

 present notice.
