AMERICAN HEMIPTERA. 347 



Melucha lineatella Fabr. — Numbers taken from March to 

 August. 



Nematopus Indus Linn. — March to September. Judging from 

 the numbers received a very abundant species. 



Nematopus fasciatus Westw. — One example, taken March 

 28th. This handsome species is' black above with a broad orange 

 band across the middle of the pronotum ; margin of the scutellum, 

 hind edge of the pronotum, and elytral veins whitish. Legs, an 

 tennse, and all beneath fulvous brown, with the tip of the hind 

 femora and abdomen black. 



Acanthocephala latipes Drury. — March, April and August. 

 The white band on the front of the pronotum seems to be quite 

 characteristic. 



Petalops thoracicus Thunbg. — Several examples of this bril- 

 liantly colored species were taken from April to August. 



Holymenia intermedia Burm. — Two examples, May and July 

 The hyaline elytra and spotted thorax gives this species a superfi- 

 cial resemblance to certain Hyraenoptera. It is a little smaller than 

 histrio which I have from Brazil, and may be distinguished by the 

 partly white third joint of the antennae. 



Leptoscelis bipustulatus Linn. — March to June. Apparently 

 common. In some examples the whitish color of the elytra is deep- 

 ened to fulvous or almost orange. 



Hypselonotus fulvus De Geer. — Two examples of this widely 

 distributed species were taken in June. 



Paryphes Isetus Fabr. — March to June. This is a large 

 showy species marked with broad yellow belt on a dark green 

 ground color. 



Paryphes regalis Westw. — One specimen taken August 14th, 

 agrees very closely with the short descriptions of Westwood and 

 Amyot, except that the thorax is entirely fulvous ; not black 

 behind as described by them. This specimen is a female as was 

 Amj'ot's. 



Trachelium tessellatum Dist. — Two examples taken in May 

 agree very nearly with Distant's description. The ground color is 

 a shining piceous black, with the legs and apical joints of the an- 

 tennae paler. 



Cydamus adspersipes Stal.—Several taken from April to 

 June.
