The following new genera and species of Hemiptera are pub- 

 lished now so the names may be included in a forthcoming check 

 list of the North American Hemiptera. 



Cue modus in flatus n. sp. 



A little longer and darker than mavortius, with the rostrum 

 shorter and the anterior lobe of the pronotum more inflated. 

 Length 9-10 mm. 



Piceous black, impunctate. Elytra dark castaneous with a pale 

 costa ; legs, antennas and rostrum honey-yellow. Head as in 

 mavortius, the antennas a little paler, with the tip of the third and 

 the whole of the fourth joint fuscous. Rostrum attaining the inser- 

 tion of the anterior feet, the extreme tip black. Pronotum stout, 

 anterior lobe strongly inflated, ovate, much wider than the posterior 

 lobe and fully as wide as the broadest part of the closed elytra; 

 collar narrow but distinct as in mavortius ; posterior lobe but slightly 

 developed, flat, scarcely flaring and not at all elevated behind; 

 lateral margin tumid, posterior feebly arcuated; surface rugulose, 

 dark castaneous. Scutellum piceous black becoming castaneous at 

 the acute apex, surface irregularly punctured, with a very obscure 

 median carina. Elytra dark castaneous, coarsely but sparsely punc- 

 tured, costa pale to beyond the middle, the extreme base sanguineous 

 where covered by the humeri. Membrane rudimentary, the nerv- 

 ures scarcely indicated. Legs pale castaneous or honey-yellow, 

 becoming whitish basally ; anterior femora thicker than in inavortius, 

 similarly armed with about six spines, its tibias strongly curved at 

 base as far as the long arcuated spine which is placed nearer to the 

 base than to the apex; all the tibiae blackish. Beneath dark castane- 

 ous becoming blackish on the pleuras; the stigmata and connexivum 

 almost sanguineous.
