SUBFAMILY II. — COREIN^E. 253 



of tristis; antennae as in urmigera. Pronotum with front side margins 

 concave or deeply sinuate, their edges crenulate; humeri prominent, pro- 

 longed outward and a little upward, the tips obtusely angled; posterior 

 side margins sinuate, their inner angle obtuse, the truncate basal margin 

 wider than scutellum. Membrane slightly surpassing abdomen, the latter 

 rather widely dilated beyond middle. Connexivum broadly exposed and 

 recurved, the dorsum therefore appearing concave. Genital plate of male 

 scoop-shaped, its hind margins feebly concave. Basal plates of female 

 genitalia deeply and widely emarginate. Length., 14 — 16 mm.; width, 

 6 — 7 mm. 



Marion, Knox and Posey counties, Ind., April 19 — Sept. 19 

 (W.S.B.). Alexandria County, Va., May 28 (Davis). In a 

 dense thicket along the annually overflowed banks of the Wa- 

 bash River a few miles above Vincennes, I beat this handsome 

 Coreid, on Sept. 19, in large numbers and all stages from the 

 wild cucumber, Sicyos angulatus L. Parshley (1918, 64) records 

 the taking of more than 50 adults and nymphs from two vines 

 of the same plant on the same date at Northampton, Mass. It 

 has been recorded elsewhere only from New York, Maryland 

 and District of Columbia. 



V. Cimolus Stal, 1862, 302. 



This genus differs from Anasa by the characters given in key, 

 and in having the body more narrowly oval, less depressed ; 

 antenniferous tubercles much less prominent and more ap- 

 proximate, suberect ; beak much shorter, its first joint only 

 about half the length of head. Two species are known, one 

 occurring in Mexico, the other in the southern states. 



185 (300). Cimolus obscurus Stal, 1870, 189. 



Elongate-oval, widest across middle of abdomen. Dull clay-yellow, 

 above thickly beset with rather coarse fuscous punctures, each enclosing 

 a minute yellowish bristle, these punctures so arranged as to leave a 

 stripe each side of head, the side margins and a narrow median line on 

 front half of pronotum and numerous small scattered areas on elytra of 

 the paler hue; membrane dark brown; connexivals blackish, the front 

 margin of each yellowish; legs dull yellow, thickly marked with fuscous 

 punctures ; under surface greenish-yellow with scattered fuscous dots 

 and punctures, the extreme side margins of each ventral with one or two 

 oblong black spots. Antennas black; joint 1 with a few paler dots, stout, 

 feebly curved, as long as head; 2 more slender, slightly longer than 

 either 1 or 3, these subequal in length; 4 fusiform, two-thirds the length 

 of 3. Pronotum subtrapezoidal, side margins finely serrate, front angles 

 ending in an obtuse spine, hind ones broadly rounded, hind margin 

 abruptly declivent and forming a short flattened lobe which is wider than
