252 FAMILY VI. — COREID^E. 



joint of antenna* but little swollen, slightly curved, longer than head. 

 Pronotum with front side margins concave or sinuate; humeri promi- 

 nent, projected outward and a little upward, their tips subacute; basal 

 half of disk with a median impression, the truncate base wider than scu- 

 tellum, the latter coarsely and sparsely punctate. Abdomen dilated at 

 middle, more so in female, the connexivum broadly exposed. Length, 

 13—17 mm.; width, 4.5—6.5 mm. (Fig. 52). 



Marion, Vigo, Knox and Posey counties, Ind., March 17 — 

 Oct. 10. Occurs locally in some numbers, in company with 

 repetita on the one-seeded bur-cucumber, Sicyos angulatus L. 

 Taken in March from beneath bark in low dense woods along 

 the margins of streams, in which localities its wild host-plant 

 alone grows. Dunedin, Lake Okeechobee, R. P. Park and Cape 

 Sable, Fla., Dec. 11 — March 24, scarce. Taken by beating in 

 dense wet hammocks. Recorded from Florida only by Uhler 

 without definite station. Its recorded range extends from 

 Massachusetts to western Iowa, and south and southwest to 

 Florida, Oklahoma and Texas. In the East it probably occurs 

 rarely, if at all, north of latitude 42°. Say's type was from 

 "Missouri Territory" and must have been off color, as he men- 

 tions "a white oblique line in the middle of the membranaceous 

 portion of the hemelytra," and in his notes said that it may be 

 at once separated from Carats galeatus Fabr. "by the white 

 transverse line at the base of" the same membrane. No one of 

 the numerous specimens I have seen is so marked. 



Chittenden (1898, 239) records it as injurious to cucurbs in 

 Maryland and Virginia, all stages including the eggs being 

 found as late as Sept. 29. He states : "It is more active than 

 tristis, flying freely in hot sunshine and exposing itself on the 

 upper surface of the leaves in mid-day. It also has a later 

 season, appearing three weeks later and remaining in the field 

 after tristis has gone into hibernation."
