696 FAMILY XXIX. — MIRID.E. 



a Paracalocoris, as no member of that genus has the "first 

 antennal joint as long as head and thorax together," as de- 

 scribed and figured by H.-Schaeffer. 



676 (984%). Paracalocoris adustus McAtee, 1916, 377. 



Color a nearly uniform reddish-brown, rather thickly clothed above 

 with short appressed yellow hairs ; inner margin and apical third of 

 clavus, second antennal, tibiae and tips of tarsi more or less fuscous- 

 brown; membrane dusky, its veins paler. Joint 1 of antennae one-tenth 

 longer than pronotum, 2 three-fifths longer than 1, 3 slightly longer than 

 4, the two united a little shorter than 2. Length, 8 mm. 



Lakehurst, N. J., June 13, type {Paris). Recorded elsewhere 

 only from Berrien Co., Mich., where Hussey took a few ex- 

 amples from willow in July. 



677 (984%). Paracalocoris hawleyi Knight, 1916b, 377. 



Elongate, subparallel, rather robust. Color variable; head, apical 

 third of pronotum and costal margins of elytra usually orange-red or 

 dull yellow, cuneus reddish, remainder of upper surface fuscous-black; 

 under surface except the region of genital plates, orange-red; legs and 

 antennae black, coxae paler. Joint 1 of antennae one-eighth longer than 

 pronotum, 2 two-thirds longer than 1, 3 less than one-half the length of 

 2, 4 three-fifths the length of 3. Discal spots of pronotum usually merged 

 with the dark color of basal portion. Length, 6.3 — 7.5 mm. 



Marion and Martin counties, Ind., June 19 — July 13. The 

 known range extends from Massachusetts west to Indiana and 

 south to Maryland. Breeds on cultivated hop and apple in New 

 York. McAtee and Knight (loc. cit.) have described three color 

 varieties. The Indiana specimens at hand belong to Knight's 

 var. ancora in which the elytra are almost wholly fusco-piceous, 

 without a pale stripe along the corium. 



678 (983). Paracalocoris multisignatus Reuter, 1909, 40. 



Oblong-oval. Pale greenish-yellow, more or less blotched with fus- 

 cous; pronotum with front and hind margins and a stripe back of each 

 discal spot fuscous, flecked with small yellow dots, the space between the 

 dark stripes and also the sides of disk lemon-yellow; apical third of 

 scutellum, apex of clavus and middle of cuneus lemon-yellow; corium 

 with a large irregular spot near middle, a smaller one near apex and 

 numerous scattered dots of the same hue; membrane dusky, marbled with 

 paler; under surface and legs pale yellow, the apical third of femora, 

 two rings on tibiae, tips of tarsi and usually some vague markings on 

 sides of ventrals fuscous. Joint 1 of antennae fuscous mottled with yel- 

 low, subequal in length to pronotum, 2 twice as long as 1, its apical third 

 black, remainder reddish-brown, with yellow ring at base and another in 

 front of middle; 3 and 4 subequal, each about half the length of 2.
