SUBFAMILY II. — COREINjE. 223 



corium." Brimley (1907, 440) reports having taken it near 

 Raleigh on November 10 and again March 1, under a log, ap- 

 parently hibernating. 



159 (248). Leptoglossus oppositus (Say), 1832, 12; I, 327. 



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

 dish-brown, thickly clothed beneath with short silvery-gray pubescence, 

 very thinly above with fine yellowish hairs; head fuscous, with three 



narrow paler lines; antennae reddish- 

 _ . brown, the terminal joint a little paler; 

 tip of scutellum, incisures of connexi- 

 vum and usually a short dash on oblique 

 nervure of corium, dull yellow; under 

 surface and legs pale reddish-brown, the 

 former mottled with numerous fuscous 

 dots. Head as in corculus; antenna? 

 longer and more slender, the basal joint 

 about as long as head; second two-thirds 

 longer than third, the latter shorter than 

 fourth. Pronotum with humeri and side 

 margins unarmed, the former obtusely 

 angled ; disk, as well as those of scutel- 

 lum and elytra, finely and densely punc- 

 tate. Hind femora relatively slender,

their teeth shorter and more inclined 



than in corculus. Hind tibiae with dilations conjointly broadly oval, 

 reaching but little beyond middle of tibia?, the inner more narrow and 

 bearing a few teeth, the outer with two rather deep scallops. Length, 

 18—20 mm.; width, 5—6 mm. (Fig. 44). 



Lake, Marion, Putnam, Vigo and Posey counties, Ind., scarce, 

 April 26 — Nov. 20; probably occurs sparingly throughout the 

 State. Found in summer on foliage along borders of woods and 

 thickets; in autumn on flowers of goldenrod and other Com- 

 positse. Single specimens were picked up from sidewalks near 

 the center of Indianapolis on Nov. 8 and 20. Dunedin 

 and Ft. Myers, Fla., scarce, Dec. 15 — March 4 (W.S.B.); 

 swept from low shrubs. Recorded by Barber only from Lake 

 Worth and probably very scarce throughout the State. One 

 of the Dunedin specimens has the white mark on corium zig- 

 zagged as in L. cor cuius Say, to which it is very closely allied, but 

 from which it is readily separated by the longer terminal joint 

 of antennae and shorter, scalloped dilations of hind tibiae. 



This is our most common species in the North, its known 

 range extending from New York and New Jersey west to 

 northern Indiana and Minnesota, and southwest to Florida,
