TRIBE III. — CORISCINI. 



263 



terior margin sinuate, concave at middle. Claspers of male forked, the 

 outer lobe the longer. Length, 14 — 16 mm.; width, 3 — 3.7 mm. (Fig. 55). 



Frequent throughout Indiana, more so in the northern coun- 

 ties, June 18 — Sept. 24. Taken 

 by sweeping the tall grasses 

 and sedges of marshes and 

 borders of streams. Ranges 

 from Quebec, New England and 

 North Carolina west across the 

 Continent. Recorded by Mon- 

 tandon (1893, 50) from 

 Florida, but probably in error 

 as no other record of its occur- 

 rence south of North Carolina 

 can be found. Fracker states 

 that in Wisconsin "it is less 

 common than Protenor belfragei 

 and Alydus conspersus, and does 

 not extend so far north. After 

 the first of August the adults 

 may be found along the edges 

 of woods where they are active 



flyers." McAfee (1919, 8) says that about Washington, D. C, 



the nymphs occur only on Ceanothus americanas. 



III. Burtinus Stal, 1859, 458. 



This genus is closely allied to Megalotomus, differing mainly 

 by the characters given in key. The fourth joint of antennae is 

 slightly shorter than second and third united ; apical angle of 

 corium reaching beyond middle of membrane ; hind femora not 

 reaching apex of abdomen ; hind tibiae shorter, armed beneath 

 near apex with a small spine. 



One neotropical species is known from southern Florida. 



193 (321). Burtinus notatipennis Stal, 1859, 459. 



Elongate, slender, widened behind. Dull brownish-yellow, rather 

 thickly marked with brown punctures ; narrow edges of side margins of 

 pronotum and embolium and tip of scutellum yellowish; membrane pale 

 translucent; dorsum and connexivum in part fuscous; under surface and 

 legs straw-yellow, with numerous small reddish dots, the former very 

 finely and densely pubescent; apical half of hind femora in part fuscous, 

 sometimes annulate with yellow; ventrals 2 — 5 with a large black dot 

 each side; 2 and 3 each with several smaller dots at middle; 3 — 6 tinged 



(Original).
