SUBFAMILY III. — ORTHOTYLIN^. 823 



of elytra, including cuneus, usually more or less tinged with fuscous, 

 sometimes almost wholly fuscous-black; cuneus and apex of embolium 

 in pale specimens sometimes tinged with reddish; membrane pale dusky 

 translucent; under surface and front and middle legs greenish-yellow; 

 ventrals and hind legs usually darker; tibial spinules blackish. Anten- 

 nae reddish-brown, joints 3 and 4 minutely hirsute, apex of 2 often some- 

 what darker; joint 1 one-third longer than width of vertex; 2 feebly 

 thickened from base to apex, three times longer than 1 ; 3 nearly half as 

 long and almost as thick as 2; 4 subfusiform, three-fourths the length of 

 3. Upper surface minutely alutaceous, otherwise almost smooth. Beak 

 reaching hind coxae. Length, 4.3—4.6 mm. 



Frequent throughout Indiana, June 3 — July 28 ; beaten from 

 hickory and wild grape. Dunedin, Fla., March 18, at porch 

 light ; the first record for that State. Ranges from Ontario 

 and New England west to South Dakota and Vancouver, and 

 southwest to Florida and Kansas. Recorded also from New 

 Mexico and Grenada. Uhler states that in Maryland it is often 

 common on pine in June and July. He also mentions the prono- 

 tum as being "coarsely unevenly punctate," which is not true 

 of the specimens at hand determined by Knight. It is prob- 

 ably in part predaceous, as Van Duzee says that about Buffalo 

 it : "Is not uncommon on pines and a few other trees when in- 

 fested with aphids." 



876 ( — ). Ceratocapsus advenus sp. nov. 



Male — Elongate, slender, sides subparallel. Chestnut-brown, shin- 

 ing, very sparsely clothed with minute pale scale-like hairs and a few 

 scattered longer ones ; deflexed basal margin of pronotum, inner edge of 

 clavus and commissure a little paler; cuneus red, its inner basal angle 

 and apical fifth of corium slightly darker; membrane fuscous, base and 

 an elongate spot bordering inner margin of cuneus, yellowish; legs and 

 under surface dark reddish-brown, shining. Joints 1 and 2 of antennae 

 reddish-brown; 1 as long as width of vertex, 2 three and one-fourth 

 times longer than 1 ; 3 and 4 fuscous-brown, almost as thick, and united 

 two-thirds as long as 2 ; 4 fusiform, three-fifths the length of 3. Eyes 

 large, prominent, wider than vertex. Pronotum without evident punc- 

 tures. Elytra minutely sparsely punctate; surpassing abdomen by three- 

 fourths the length of membrane. Length, 3.6 mm. 



Dunedin, Fla., April 9 ; beaten from limbs of a recently felled 

 pine. Crescent City, Fla. (Van Dusee). Evidently allied to 

 nigrpcephalus Knight, but easily distinguished by the characters 

 given in key. 



877 ( — ). Ceratocapsus nigrocephalus Knight, 1923, 534. 



Elongate, slender, subparallel. Color as in key; sparsely clothed 

 with suberect hairs; scutellum black; elytra yellowish translucent, base
