SUBFAMILY I. — MIRING. 673 



pronotum black, with a median yellowish spot, disk with basal two-thirds 

 pinkish-brown, the sides and median triangular spot yellowish; scutel- 

 lum black with yellow median line, a reddish-brown spot each side of 

 base; elytra pinkish-brown, inner margin of clavus often blackish, costal 

 margin yellow; membrane grayish, inner nerve piceous, the others yel- 

 lowish; legs brownish-yellow, clothed with short black hairs; femora 

 with black dots more or less confluent, tarsi fuscous. Antennas dull 

 brownish- yellow thickly beset with short stout piceous hairs, joint 1 as 

 long as pronotum; 2 cylindrical, two and a half times as long as 1, its 

 middle third often reddish-brown; 3 and 4 slender, 3 three-fourths the 

 length of 2, twice as long as 4. Female — Head yellow, vertex usually 

 with two dark lines each side of the yellow center, a piceous stripe be- 

 hind each eye; pronotum with collar piceous, basal two-thirds of disk 

 pinkish, sides and middle of disk pale yellowish; scutellum yellowish, the 

 basal angles pink, margins blackish ; elytra and legs as in male. In the 

 brachypterous form the elytra are pink and reach only to third dorsal, 

 their tips divergent and narrowly rounded. Length, 7.5 — 8 mm. 



Camberwell, England (British Mus. Coll.). A palsearctic Euro- 

 pean species recorded in this country only from Quebec and 

 Alaska. In England the brachypterous form is common on 

 grasses and other herbage along the margins of fields, the 

 macropterous one rather scarce. 



VI. Eioneus Distant, 1893, 416. 



Elongate, slender species having the head longer than its 

 width across eyes, inserted in thorax to eyes ; tylus subvertical, 

 longer than cheeks, the triangular front of head prolonged over 

 its base; vertex with a short median longitudinal groove; an- 

 tennae slender, longer than body, joint 1 and basal half of 2 

 thickly beset with stiff bristle-like forward inclined hairs ; 

 pronotum one-fourth longer at middle than wide at base, lateral 

 margins feebly converging from the base, slightly sinuate near 

 apex, their carina? sharp, percurrent ; front margin feebly con- 

 cave, hind one deeply and broadlv so ; mesoscutum broadly ex- 

 posed and with a large obliquely set funnel-shaped fovea each 

 side, this followed by a deep sharp cut transverse line; elytra 

 entire, their margins subparallel ; hind femora reaching apex 

 of membrane ; hind tibiae thickly beset with long slender black 

 setae. 



This genus is closely allied both to Miris and Trigonotyhis. 

 From the former it differs by the concave hind margin of 

 pronotum, peculiar structure of mesoscutum and lack of long 

 pubescence on body ; from the latter by the thickly pilose basal
