690 FAMILY XXIX. — MIRID;£. 



Capsinse. They were separated by Reuter (1909, 9) into 25 

 genera. Van Duzee in his Catalogue recognized 31 genera 

 from America north of Mexico. Representatives of 23 are 

 known from the eastern states. For convenience in classifica- 

 tion these are divided into two Divisions, separated as follows : 



KEY TO DIVISIONS OF THE TRIBE CAPSINI. 



a. Body above impunctate, or with fine aciculate punctures only. 



Division I. Phytocoraria, p. 690. 

 aa. Body above, or at least the pronotum, punctate, sometimes very 

 finely, but usually distinctly so; calli usually prominent. 



Division II. Capsaria, p. 751. 



Division I. — Phytocoraria Douglas & Scott, 1865, 29, 299. 



To this division belong 13 of the 23 eastern genera of the 

 tribe Capsini. They differ much in form and general appear- 

 ance, but all are devoid of distinct punctures on the pronotum. 

 As here treated the Division includes also the Dichrooscytaria, 

 the characters given in their separation by both Douglas and 

 Scott and Van Duzee (1916a, 206) being variable and compara- 

 tive only, not fixed. 



KEY TO EASTERN GENERA OF PHYTOCORARIA. 



a. Basal joint of antennae very stout, thickly clothed with flattened 

 hairs; apical half of second joint distinctly thickened. 



I. Neurocolpus, p. 691. 

 aa. Basal joint of antennae without flattened hairs. 



b. Pronotum with two opaque, usually rounded black spots placed in 

 small concavities behind the calli, these rarely wanting, some- 

 times merged with larger spots on basal half of disk; basal joint 

 of antennae clothed with long black hairs and setae. 



II. Paracalocoris, p. 692. 



lib. Pronotum without black spots, or if present the spots ill defined, 



not in concavities, and basal joint of antennae without long black 



hairs or setae. 



c. Second joint of antennae strongly swollen, clavate or fusiform, 



tapering toward the base. III. Garganus, p. 698. 



cc. Second joint of antennae linear or only slightly thickened toward 



apex. 



d. Hind femora distinctly surpassing tip of abdomen, flattened and 



broader on basal halves, tapering and slender toward apex; 



body above opaque and impunctate. IV. Phytocoris. p. 699. 



dd. Hind femora shorter, not or scarcely extending beyond tip of 



abdomen. 



e. Joint 1 of hind tarsi much longer than joint 3 ; color greenish 



yellow with two ill defined stripes or spots on pronotum and 



a stripe on each elytron fuscous. V. Stenotus, p. 730.
