SUBFAMILY IV. — BRYOCORIN^E. 873 



wet weather pond at Ft. Myers. Easily known by its small 

 size and pale embolium and cuneus. 



961 ( — ). Sixenotus albicornis Blatchley, 1926, 167. 



Closely allied to insignis. Form more elongate, sides more sub- 

 parallel. Head, pronotum and scutellum shining black, devoid of the 

 faint subaeneous tinge of insignis; elytra piceous-brown, opaque, sub- 

 translueent; membrane with apical half nearly white, cells dark fuscous, 

 veins almost black; under surface shining black; antenna? and legs wholly 

 milky white or a very pale yellow. Joint 1 of antennas reaching apical 

 fourth of tylus, 2 twice as long as 1, 3 two-thirds as long as 2, 4 nearly 

 twice the length of 3. Pronotum longer and more narrowed in front than 

 in insignis, its disk more distinctly obliquely strigose with rows of punc- 

 tures between the strigae, the punctures coarser and less dense than in 

 insignis. Length, 3.3 — 3.5 mm.

Oblong-oval. Head, pronotum, scutellum and under surface shining 

 black with a tinge of bronze; elytra black, opaque, minutely and very 

 sparsely pubescent; membrane with apical half pale, cells and veins fus- 

 cous ; legs as in key, tips of tarsi fuscous ; antennae pale yellow, extreme 

 base of joint 1 and the outer joints dusky. Clavus and cuneus finely

Plummer's Island, Md., Aug. 29 (Gerhard). Texas (Davis). 

 Recorded from seven stations in Florida by Barber, but these 

 records probably refer, at least in part, to albicornis. Ranges 

 from New England and New York southwest in the coastwise 

 states to Texas. Recorded also from Colorado and Arizona. 

 It ocurs in the north on skunk cabbage, Spathyema faetida (L.). 



963 ( — ). Sixenotus brevis Knight, 1926c, 107. 



Black; clothed with erect pale yellowish pubescence; membrane pale 

 fuscous, veins black. Antennae black, finely pale pubescent, joint 1 less 

 than half as long as width of vertex, 2 twice the length of 1. Pronotum 

 with front half strongly flattened, sides sinuate. Length, 2.3 mm. 



Known only from Hattiesburg, Miss. "Distinguished from 

 tencbrosus by the flatter and more elongate pronotum, broadly 

 exposed scutellum, abbreviated membrane and pale yellowish 

 legs." (Knight).
