SUBFAMILY VII. — RHYPAROCHROMIN^. 423 



tures. Swannanoa, N. Car., March 5 (Brimley) . Ranges from 

 Massachusetts and New York west to Indiana and southwest 

 to Florida and Texas, the only Florida record being that of 

 Barber from Biscayne Bay. Bueno (1912, 212) took it at 

 Yaphank, N. Y., by sweeping grasses in a dry cranberry bog. 

 The Indiana specimens are all brachypterous and that seems 

 to be the prevailing form. The long yellow hairs are best seen 

 when viewed from the side. 



374 (579). Antillocoris pallidus (Uhler), 1894, 187. 



Oblong-oval. Dark reddish-brown, head shining; basal third of pro- 

 notum and apical half of elytra often vaguely clouded with fuscous; 

 membrane pale brown ; first antennal and basal half of second reddish- 

 brown, remainder fuscous; legs, sterna and often the apex of abdomen 

 pale brownish-yellow. Pronotum shorter and wider than in pilosulus, 

 the transverse constriction more evident, the hind lobe, apex of front 

 one and scutellum rather coarsely punctate. Length, 1.8 — 2.2 mm. 



Frequent throughout Indiana, March 20 — Oct. 16. Taken 

 by sifting the debris of rotten chunks along streams and by 

 sweeping herbage in dense woodland. Dunedin, R. P. Park 

 and Ft. Myers, Fla., Nov. 25 — April 4. Common about Dune- 

 din in winter beneath cover along the margins of ponds, and 

 in spring taken by sweeping ferns and other vegetation in 

 damp localities. Recorded also from Biscayne Bay. Uhler's 

 types were from Grenada and its known range extends from 

 Quebec and New England west to Indiana and south and 

 southwest to Florida, Cuba and Texas. Barber (1923, 732) 

 records it as a common species in New England "among dead 

 leaves in damp situations." 



Tribe III. BEOSINI Stal, 1872b, 54. 



Small or medium sized depressed oval species possessing the 

 characters given in the tribal key, and, in our eastern genera, 

 having the head about as wide across the eyes as front margin 

 of pronotum ; antennae slender, their basal segment short, at 

 most exceeding apex of head by one-third its length ; prono- 

 tum subquadrate, its side margins narrowly flattened, not re- 

 flexed, disk not constricted to form two lobes, its front margin 

 without a depressed collar ; scutellum not carinate. Four of the 

 five genera recognized by Barber (1918, 82) occur in the east- 

 ern states.
