222 FAMILY VI. — COREID^E. 



Dunedin, Fla., April 20 (W.S.B.). Wilmington, N. Car., 

 July 25 (Brimley). Spring Hill, Ala., March 12 (Gerhard). My 

 single specimen was taken while sweeping huckleberry and 

 other low shrubs. This, our largest species, ranges from 

 Massachusetts and New York west and southwest to Florida 

 and Alabama, but is nowhere common. Single specimens only 

 are known from Massachusetts and North Carolina, and the 

 only record for Florida given by Barber, is that of /.. magnolia 

 Heid., a synonym, based on a Florida specimen in the Na- 

 tional Museum. 



158 (246). LEPTOGLOSSUS CORCULUS (Say), 1832, 12; I, 326. 



Elongate-oval, subdepressed above, subconvex beneath. Dark red- 

 dish-brown, thinly clothed above, more thickly beneath, with fine ap- 

 pressed yellowish hairs ; head fuscous with three narrow, often inter- 

 rupted, reddish-brown lines; antennae with joints 1 and 4 partly or 

 wholly fuscous, 2 and 3 reddish-yellow; pronotum with irregular fuscous 

 markings; apex of scutellum, incisures of connexivum and some short, 

 zigzag lines on nervures of corium opposite base of membrane, dull yel- 

 low; under surface reddish-brown irregularly mottled with fuscous; legs 

 reddish-brown, the front and middle tibiae slightly paler. Head oblong, 

 convex, the narrowed apical portion obtuse, not reaching middle of basal 

 antennal joint; beak reaching fourth ventral; antennae relatively short 

 and stout, basal joint shorter than head, second one-half or more longer 

 than third, which is slightly longer than fourth. Pronotum but little 

 longer than head, humeri broadly rounded, their margins entire, disk with 

 surface uneven, finely and densely punctate. Scutellum with numerous 

 fine transverse ridges. Connexivum narrowly exposed. Hind femora 

 but little swollen, its spines rather stout, acute, feebly curved. Hind 

 tibia? with dilations conjointly lanceolate, the outer one reaching almost 

 to apex, its margin entire; the inner a little narrower and shorter, finely

Rockaway Beach, Long Island, May 14 (Paris). Raleigh and 

 Southern Pines, N. Car., July — October (Brimley). Say's types 

 were from the St. John's River, Fla., and it has been recorded 

 from Ft. Myers and Miami, that State. While its known range 

 extends from New York to California, it is mostly southern as, 

 outside of New York, it has not been recorded in the east north 

 of southwestern Pennsylvania and Tennessee, though known 

 from Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Uhler (1876, 298) 

 says that Ihe western specimens are paler colored than those 

 from the southeast and (1878, 383) that it is "remarkable for 

 the unusual breadth of the humeral rounding and belongs to 

 the group of species having the zigzag white band on disk of
