876 FAMILY XXIX. — MIRID,£. 



Sea Cliff, N. Y. (Banks). Perhaps adventive, as it was de- 

 scribed from Mexico and is not recorded elsewhere. 



Subfamily V. CLIVINEMIN^ Reuter, 1876, 62. 



Elongate-oval species having the head, pronotum and 

 scutellum thickly clothed with matted pubescence; lorae very 

 narrow ; pronotum trapezoidal, its apical half without a collar, 

 but hood-like as described in subfamily key, p. 663, its sides, 

 in our species, carinate their full length ; elytra entire, mem- 

 brane two-celled, the smaller cell narrow; legs short, stout, 

 tibiae beset with numerous close-set hairs, without spines or 

 setae, arolia wanting. The subfamily is represented in North 

 America by but two genera, one in the eastern states. 



I. Largidea Van Duzee, 1912a, 480. 



Head short, nearly vertical ; vertex without a basal carina ; 

 beak slightly passing middle coxae; pronotum coarsely and 

 densely punctured, one-half wider at base than long, base near- 

 ly twice as wide as apex, its margin broadly rounded above base 

 of scutellum; elytra finely, shallowly punctate; basal joint of 

 tarsi nearly as long as the others united, widened and flattened 

 beneath (pi. X, fig. 27). Five species are known, four occur- 

 ring in the western states, the other in our territory. 



968 (1089%). Largidea davisi Knight, 1917b, 7. 



Elongate-oval. Color a nearly uniform dark red, thickly clothed 

 with fine prostrate gray hairs; head and transverse groove of pronotum 

 blackish; membrane pale dusky brown, the veins darker; sterna and sides 

 of abdomen tinged with blackish. Antennae with joints 1 and 2 robust, 1 

 darker and stouter than the others, only about two-fifths as long as width 

 of vertex; 2 as long as width of head across eyes, almost linear, male, 

 strongly thickened toward apex, female; 3 and 4 very short, subequal in 

 length, each slightly longer than 1, 4 much thinner than the others. 

 Calli outlined or bordered in front and behind by impressed lines which 

 merge and extend downward on sides to the coxal cleft. Length, 

 6 — 6.3 mm. 



Promised Land, Long Island, N. Y., Sept. 24 (Davis). Re- 

 corded only from that, the type station, and from Hyannis 

 Port, Mass. Occurs on pine. 



Subfamily VI. CYLAPIN^E Poppius, 1909, 1. 



This subfamily, as characterized in the key, p. 663, comprises 

 species of variable form and size in which the pronotum is 

 constricted to form a distinct apical collar or with a flattened
