SUBFAMILY I. — PENTATOMIN^E. 101 



middle of side margin of each ventral segment yellow; legs black, an- 

 nulate with yellow. Head elongate, the cheeks equalling or very slightly 

 surpassing tip of tylus, the anteapical sinus very shallow, its tooth 

 very small; beak reaching middle of third ventral. Pronotum with 

 humeral projections thick, rugose above, their tips rounded and bearing 

 three or four short, blunt teeth ; front side margin armed with 4 — 6 very 

 short teeth. Scutellum as in quebdrvpustulata. Connexivum narrowly 

 exposed, marked as in that species. Osteole as there, but not surrounded 

 by a smooth pale area. Male with anal segment deeply emarginate, its 

 hind margin refuse and ciliate. Female with last dorsal deeply and 

 widely emarginate. Length, 17 — 19 mm.; width, 10 — 12 mm.

 and Biscayne Bay, that State. Ranges from southern Illinois 

 (Hart, 1919, 173), Tennessee and Arkansas, south to Florida, 

 Louisiana and Texas. 



59 ( — ) . Brochymena pallida sp. nov. 



Oval, subdepressed, small for the genus. Grayish-white marked with 

 numerous small fuscous punctures; pronotum and scutellum with a num- 

 ber of widely scattered coarse, deep black punctures, these aggregated 

 to form an oval spot at each basal angle of scutellum; also with numer- 

 ous elevated smooth white spots, the most conspicuous of these being 

 near middle of front lobe of pronotum and each side of base of scutel- 

 lum ; antennae dark reddish-brown ; connexivum with alternate bars of 

 fuscous and pale gray; under surface dull grayish-white with scattered 

 very small fuscous punctures and thickly clothed with a white hair-like 

 bloom ; legs dull yellow, mottled with purplish dots. Head relatively 

 short, its apex obtusely angled or subtruncate, cheeks reaching tip of 

 tylus ; subapical sinus and tooth scarcely evident. Beak reaching base of 

 second ventral. Bucculae without a preapical tooth. First antennal 

 reaching the sinus of cheeks, second one-fourth longer than third. Side 

 margins of pronotum armed both before and behind the sinus with short, 

 regular subacute teeth. Scutellum shorter and more rounded at apex 

 than in carolinensis. Osteole with tube shorter, its auricle smaller than 

 in the two preceding species. Genital segment of male short, shallowly 

 emarginate behind, the notch with a short median lobe. Lateral lobes 

 of female genital plate distinctly surpassing the oblong median lobe. 

 Length, 13 — 15 mm. ; width, 7 — 9 mm. 



Sanford, Fla., March 25 ; one pair beaten from foliage of 

 oak. Allied to punctata Van D., but smaller, the general color 

 much paler, the second antennal longer than third, the lobes of 

 female genital different. The punctures of upper surface are 

 of two sizes, the more numerous ones very small and enclosing 

 a whitish bloom, the larger black ones much fewer and widely 

 scattered.
