752 FAMILY XXIX. — MIKID^E. 



the most part, oval, shining species with the upper surface, or 

 at least the pronotum, distinctly punctate ; antennae shorter 

 than body and collar and calli distinct. The division is repre- 

 sented in the eastern states by ten genera, separated as fol- 

 lows: 



KEY TO EASTERN GENERA OF CAPSAR1A. 



a. Joint 2 of antennae clavate; cheeks swollen and convex; vertex 

 broad, foveate, distinctly transversely striate each side near eyes. 



XIV. Capsus, p. 752. 

 aa. Joint 2 of antennas linear or nearly so. 



b. Second antennal thickened, nearly as thick as basal one, not, male, 

 or but slightly, female, attenuate near base. 

 c. Second antennal about twice as long as basal one, very finely 

 pubescent. XV. Neocapsus, p. 753. 



cc. Second antennal distinctly more than twice as long as basal one, 

 thickly clothed with heavy black pubescence. 

 d. Vertex convex, shining, its base not carinate; color in great part 

 red; form suboval, distinctly widened behind middle. 



XVI. Coccobaphes, p. 754. 

 dd. Vertex more flattened, its basal margin distinctly carinate; color, 

 in part fuscous; body oblong, subparallel. 



XVII. Lygidea, p. 755. 

 bb. Second antennal distinctly thinner at base than apex, always no- 

 ticeably thinner than basal one. 

 e. Pronotum in front of collar and between calli subconvex, not punc- 

 tured. 

 /. Beak reaching base of seventh ventral; front of head alutaceous, 

 finely transversely striate; upper surface practically glabrous. 



XVIII. Platylygus, p. 757. 

 ff. Beak rarely passing tips of hind coxae; front of head without 

 striae, or if striate, the upper surface pubescent. 



XIX. Lygus, p. 758. 



ee. Pronotum distinctly punctate in front of collar and between calli. 



g. Side margins of pronotum carinate; form more ovate. 



h. Joint 1 of antennae distinctly thicker than joint 2, both joints 



black; color red and black. XX. Tropidosteptes, p. 784. 



hh. Joint 1 of antennae slender, scarcely as thick as joint 2 at apex, 



both joints in part or wholly pale or reddish; eyes very large, 



overlapping front angles of pronotum. 



i. Corium smooth, opaque; vertex not margined at base; length 



less than 3 mm. XXI. Cyrtocapsidea, p. 784. 



ii. Corium distinctly punctate; vertex carinate at base; length 4 



or more mm. XXII. Neoborus, p. 785. 



gg. Side margins of pronotum not carinate; form more elongate, 



sides subparallel. XXIII. Xenoborus, p. 792. 



XIV. Capsus Fabricius, 1803, 241. 



Short oval, rather robust species having the head porrect, 

 nearly twice as wide at base as long, its front subvertical and
