844 FAMILY XXIX. — MIRIDiE. 



914 (1153). Hadronema militaris Uhler, 1872, 471. 



Black, opaque, with a leaden tinge; flanks and basal half of prono- 

 tum in part reddish-yellow; embolium and outer half of cuneus pale yel- 

 low; membrane blackish-fuscous; legs and under surface bluish-black, the 

 ventrals sparsely clothed with rather long appressed yellowish hairs, their 

 lateral edges pale. Antenna? black, half the length of body; joint 1 two- 

 thirds as long as width of vertex; 2 cylindrical, three and one-half times 

 the length of 1 ; 3 and 4 thinner than 2, subequal in thickness, densely 

 clothed with fine yellowish hairs; 3 three-fifths the length of 2, 4 one- 

 third as long as 3. Hind lobe of pronotum conspicuously transversely 

 rugose, its basal angles broadly rounded. Length, 5 — 6 mm. 



Lake Co., Ind., May 29 ; swept in some numbers from the 

 white false-indigo, Baptisia kucantha Torr. & Gray. Ranges from 

 New York west to the Pacific, feeding on several species of 

 Baptisia. Recorded also by Distant from Mexico. 



Tribe VIII. ORTHOTYLINI Van Duzee, 1916a, 211 (Orthotylaria) . 



To this tribe, as characterized in the key, p. 797, belong 

 eleven of our eastern genera of the subfamily Orthotylinse." 7 



KEY TO EASTERN GENERA OF TRIBE ORTHOTYLINI. 



a. Disk of pronotum transversely sulcate behind the calli, the sulcus 

 extending over the sides; calli distinctly arched, separated by a 

 depression. 



b. First antennal not or but slightly longer than width of vertex; 



female usually suboval, brachypterous, with second antennal dis- 

 tinctly thickened toward apex ; color black with pale markings. 



I. Globiceps, p. 845. 

 bb. First antennal nearly as long as width of head across eyes, thicker 

 on basal half and tapering apically; second antennal linear in 

 both sexes; color green or greenish-yellow. 



II. Blepharidopterus, p. 847. 

 aa. Disk of pronotum without a transverse sulcus; calli not so distinctly 

 arched. 



c. Pronotal disk margined at sides; second antennal swollen, fusiform; 



vertex with a distinct basal margin; upper surface sparsely 

 clothed with whitish scales; general color dull red or black. 



III. Heterocordylus, p. 847. 

 cc. Pronotal disk without marginal carina?, the sides sometimes obtuse- 

 ly rounded; second antennal linear, rarely (Heterotopia) much 

 thickened and fusiform; basal margin of vertex often feeble or 

 wanting. 

 d. Eyes placed near or before the middle of sides of head; elytra in 

 great part translucent hyaline; costal margin of elytra fringed 

 with fine hairs. 



B7The European species, Cyllocoris histrionicus (Linn.). Van Duzee number L158, 



has no definite station record for this country, and Knight (1922, 2S1) doubts its 

 occurrence. The genus is therefore not included in the key.
