Description . — Blackish brown; third antennal seftinent indefinitely ])aler, 
as a rule: basal ex])ansion of coriuin and most of the veins pale brown; con- 
nexivum with variable yellowish brown spots, especially at apical angles of 
segments; basal spot and veins of membrane mostly white; legs brown, the 
coxae aiul apices of tibiae pale; edges of bucculae and i)lates forming rostral 
groove, and disc of abdomen ventrally, dull reddish or i)ale brown. 
iStructure about as in the preceding excejit as follows; Antennae (fig. d4c) 
about as long as head and pronotum together, the first segment scarcely 
reaching middle of tylus, the second in length more than ecpial to width of 
head including both eyes (4d to 42); rostrum reaching beyond middle of 
mesosternum, sometimes attaining metasternum. Pronotum (fig. 44d) with 
dorsal surface much more uneven, the transverse dei)ression distinct, disc 
depressed on each side due to reflexion of lateral margins; sides anteriorly 
of variable shape, arcuate (c/. fig.) to nearly straight and oblique; carinae 
much more strongly elevated, the terminal tubercles of intermediate ])air 
larger, surmounting the distinctlv elevated anterior (fiscal region. Scutellum 
slightly longer than pronotum, the sides a little more strongly elevated. 
Ilemielytra and corium a little shorter in both sexes. 
d' (fig. 34b). Fifth ventral segment as long as sixth; abdomen broadly 
oval. Length, 9 mm. 
9 (fig. 34a). Dor.sal genital segment less than twice as wide as long, the 
l)osterior margin strongly angulate; abdciinen strongly narrowed and ])ro- 
duced posteriorly. Length, 10. o mm. 
This species, while closely related to inornatus, is distinguished 
l)y, characters sufhciently important to prevent its being regarded 
as a geographical race (see the tal)le of species). As noted above, 
it was included Ity Uhler in his .series of woniatus. Study of the 
type specimens has revealed certain minor inaccuracies in the 
description f)f this species and of others made known in the same 
paper (Van Duzee, 1920), especially in the statements of dimen- 
sions, which I have tried to correct, without particular comment 
in each case.

Description . — Dark brown, the head, pronotum, scutellum, connexivum, 
and veins of corium thickly covered with pale grayish granvdes, which are 
usually veiy conspicuous; antennae sparsely sprinkled with similar granules; 
basal expansion of veins of corium sometimes yellowish; membrane with a 
distinct basal white sjxrt, the veins more or less distinctly outlined with 
white; apical angle and a posterior (fiscal sjxjt of each connexival segment 
yelhjwish; rostrum and ventral surface of head and thorax dark brown; 
legs dark brown, the tibiae and femora i)ale at base and a])ex; ventral surface 
of abdomen fight brown, often darker laterally.
