SUBFAMILY VII. — RHYPAROCHROMIN^E. 413 



except that the femora are tinged with fuscous. Hind lobe of pronotum 

 with sides more thickened and disk more finely and sparsely punctate. 

 Femora and tibia? furnished with numerous long erect yellowish hairs. 

 Length, 7 — 8 mm. 



Ormond, Moore Haven, Sarasota and Dunedin, Fla., Dec. 6 — 

 April 6. Scarce about Dunedin beneath pine needles, in bases 

 of tufts of grass and other cover, the macropterous form at 

 porch light. Recorded also by Barber as mavortius from Jack- 

 sonville, Cleveland and Punta Gorda, Fla., and probably occurs 

 sparingly throughout the State. 



XII. Pseudocnemodus Barber, 1911a, 25. 



Small elongate species closely allied to Cnemodus but having 

 the head more porrect, less exserted, more rounded behind the 

 eyes ; ocelli present ; pronotum shorter, its collar narrower, less 

 defined, hind lobe wider ; front femora less elongate, more swol- 

 len ; males with middle femora armed beneath with several 

 strong teeth, their fore tibiae less curved near base with spine 

 located on apical half. Other characters as in generic key. 

 One species is known. 



360 (569). Pseudocnemodus canadensis (Provancher), 1886, 84. 



Elongate, slender. Dark reddish-brown, shining; hind lobe of 

 pronotum and elytra paler, the former with nodulose angles, the latter 

 with costal margin, pale yellow, impunctate; antenna? reddish-brown, 

 the fourth joint and apical half of third fuscous; legs straw-yellow, the 

 apical half of fore femora darker. Antennae slender, the basal joint 

 exceeding tip of tylus by half its length; joints 2 and 4 subequal in 

 length, third slightly shorter, thickened toward apex. Beak reaching 

 middle coxae, its first joint stout, scarcely reaching base of head. Prono- 

 tum with front lobe subcylindrical, more than twice as long as hind one, 

 sides feebly rounded, disk finely sparsely punctate; hind lobe wider, its 

 angles strongly nodulose above, disk thickly punctate. Scutellum elon- 

 gate-triangular, closely punctate, its apical half distinctly carinate. 

 Corium wider than abdomen, rather thickly punctate. Membrane, 

 brachypterous form, very small, not passing apex of corium, reaching 

 base of sixth dorsal. Length, 5.5 — 6 mm. 



Falls City, Nebr., Aug. 30 (Barber). Ranges from Quebec 

 and New England west to South Dakota and Vernon, B. C, and 

 southwest to North Carolina. Barber (1911a, 26) redescribed 

 it as P. brtmcri, a synonym, from numerous specimens taken 

 "from under old railroad ties which had been lying along a 

 grassy embankment of the road for three or four weeks, be- 

 neath which the vegetation was not yet dead."
