  SCHIZOPTERA 
  (.CANTHAROCORIS) 
  UHLERI, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Similar 
  in 
  color 
  to 
  preceding 
  species 
  but 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  beak 
  and 
  the 
  

   legs 
  are 
  paler, 
  and 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  fore 
  wings 
  are 
  yellowish. 
  Habitus 
  

   as 
  in 
  S. 
  reuteri 
  but 
  the 
  insect 
  differs 
  in 
  being 
  much 
  shorter 
  haired, 
  

   in 
  having 
  the 
  cross 
  ridge 
  of 
  metapleurum 
  near 
  lateral 
  margin, 
  most 
  

   of 
  that 
  sclerite 
  being 
  distinctly 
  shining, 
  and 
  the 
  venation 
  of 
  fore 
  

   wing 
  more 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  normal 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus, 
  though 
  on 
  the 
  

   declivitous 
  apical 
  portion 
  the 
  veins 
  are 
  almost 
  obsolete 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  

   extreme 
  apex 
  are 
  entirely 
  so. 
  Pronotum 
  slightly 
  emarginate 
  

   medianly, 
  the 
  scutellum 
  abruptly 
  narrowed 
  at 
  apex 
  but 
  scarcely 
  

   notched. 
  Hind 
  tibia 
  slightly 
  bent 
  and 
  with 
  long 
  ventral 
  hairs.
