719 ( — ). Phytocoris canadensis Van Duzee, 1920, 346. 



"Very close to erectus, but with distinct genital characters and the 

 pale ventral area more widened posteriorly, covering the entire last ven-

 erectus, triangular as viewed from before and acute at apex; dextral 

 clasper shorter, more slender on apical portion, its dorsal tooth much 

 larger, acute, nearly parallel with the ventral member, than which it is 

 one-half shorter." (Van Duzee).
