believe it still unclescribed. The small point on the coriuni may be 

 wanting at times as it is almost obsolete in some of the specimens 

 before me. 



Camirus conicus Germ. — Numbers taken in April, May and 

 September. This species closely resembles Sphyrocoris obliquus. 



Dryptocephala livida H. S. — One example taken May 27th. 



Discocephala terminalis Walker. — One specimen taken April 

 12th agrees in every particular with Walker's description, which in 

 this case is excellent. 



Discocephala umbraculata Fabr. — April. Three examples. 



Coriplatus depressus White. — May 8th. One example. This 

 agrees very closely with White's description, but disagrees with his 

 figure in having the posterior tooth on the side of the pronotum 

 broad- triangular, acute at tip, and directed horizontally outward, 

 not narrow and curved backward. Further material may show it 

 to be a distinct species. 



Mormidea ypsilon Linn. — Large numbers taken from March 

 to June. Two smaller and distinct species are in the lot which I 

 have not yet been able to identify. 



Galedanta myops Fabr. — May 27th. One example. 



Sibara armata Dall. — Several, taken from May to September. 

 This is a trim little species with sharp thoracic angles. It is almost 

 black above, with two white points on the pronotum, three on the 

 base of the scutellum, and one on the disk of each elytron. 



Euschistus acutus Dall.— March to August. Apparently 

 abundant. Superficially this species resembles the preceding but it 

 is proportionately broader, paler, and without the white dots. 



Euschistus heros Fabr. — March to September. Several speci- 

 mens that I have placed here are still broader and paler than the 

 foregoing with the sharp thoracic angles black. They resemble ere- 

 nator but are larger, and the last ventral segment of the male is 

 trisinuate exactly as described by Stal in his trisimiatus. As these 

 males correspond in other respects with the short diagnosis oftrisin- 

 uatus given by Stal, f strongly suspect that this species may be 

 identical with heros. If there be any distinguishing characters 

 Stal has failed to indicate them. ^Vnother species in this genus is 

 represented by five examples. It may be still undescribed. 



Loxa flavicollis Drury. — One specimen taken June 10th. 



Loxa deducta Walker. — A very neat pretty little species of
