that of U. virescens Reuter ^ but the lateral processes are much more 

 acute and divergent. 



Family COREIDAE. 



TTPHLOCOLPURA VULCANALIS, new species. 



Grayish fuscous (including antennae and rostrum), punctate, the 

 whole body strewn with short narrowly scale-like decumbent yel- 

 lowish bristles; a broad, ochraceous, posteriorly paler vitta running 

 through the whole connexivum and immediately within the lateral 

 margin of the venter. Head a little longer than broad and scarcely 

 longer than pronotum, transversely somewhat convex, with two short 

 oblique denuded streaks between the eyes, the callose tubercle behind 

 the eyes rather large ; antennae inserted somewhat farther from eyes 

 than from apex of head, first joint a little shorter than head, second 

 somewhat longer than first (last two joints wanting) ; rostrum reach- 

 ing base of fourth abdominal segment. Pronotum distinctly trans- 

 verse, almost two-thirds broader than long in the middle, basal half 

 slightly declivous, apical half horizontal but with the cicatrical areas 

 a little convex, lateral margins rather deeply sinuate in the middle, 

 before and behind the sinuosity straight, those of the basal half 

 scarcely raised, those of the apical half distinctly elevated, very 

 slightly convergent toward apex, ending behind and outside the 

 collar in a subacutely prominent triangular lobelet directed straight 

 ahead, the distance between the tips of these subapical lobelets con- 

 siderably broader than the width of the depressed apical collar, 

 hiuneral angles rounded, basal margin straight before the base of 

 the scutellum, which is very slightly longer than broad. HemeMra 

 twice the length of the scutellum, not quite reaching middle of third 

 (=Breddin's fourth) abdominal tergite: corium with scarcely raised 

 indistinct veins, claval part more distinctly punctured than the rest, 

 exterior apical angle of corium and outer half of apical margin 

 broadly rounded, claval commissure half the length of the scutellum ; 

 membrane grayish luteous. very short, forming only a narrow, 

 broadly rounded border to apical margin of corium. Abdomen 

 (male) about three-fifths broader than pronotum; last tergite (male) 

 twice the length of the preceding segment, its apical part trans- 

 versely convex, apical margin rounded; apical angles of third seg- 

 ment slightly, those of fourth and especially fifth segment more 

 distinctly prominent; venter with a deep median furrow reaching 

 from its base to apical margin of fourth segment, the intralateral 

 glandular spots of the three last segments very distinct, subequal in 

 size, round, opaque, velvet-black, their distance from the lateral 

 margin much greater than their diameter: male genital segment
