yellowish laterally. Beneath, dull yellowish with broad lateral 

 fuscous stripe, bordered on the raetastethium by a whitish stripe 

 edged within by a dark line. 



Head nearly as long as the thorax medially, a little more than 

 three times as long as the width between the eyes; tirst antennal 

 joint about as long as the head, antennae yellowish, apex of sec- 

 ond joint and remaining joints feebly infuscated ; pronotum about 

 as wide at base as its length. 



Legs pale dull yellowish, femora rather slender, the anterior 

 and middle ones gently tapering towards apex, the posterior one 

 subcylindrical, all dotted with fuscous spots, tibia? with some fus- 

 cous points, apex of tarsi, and claws black; fore femora slightly 

 longer than head and pronotum conjointly. 



Abdomen about four times as long as broad, the genital segment 

 parallel-sided, one half longer than broad, with dark median line 

 on apical three fifths; male hamule about as figured by Reuter for 

 vicariuii, with a lobate extension of the margin in a lower plane, on 

 the ventral side beneath the junction of the petiole and the semi- 

 circular lamella. 



Taken along the sandy river margin in the lower part of Havana,

This macropterous male is near vicarius Keut., which was de- 

 scribed from Illinois, and is by some united with jirojnnqiniK Rent.* 

 Both were described from the brachypterous form. Professor Her- 

 bert Osborn thinks our specimen can not be vlearius, and I have de- 

 cided to describe it as new. 



\Ligyrocoris constrlctKS. (See page 2'-M ) The species thus 

 listed by me is that commonly so identified in Illinois collections. 

 All examples at hand, however, clearly lack thestridulatory vitta of 

 L'Kjiji'oeor'iH. It is not Periyciwa fallar, which resembles Ligyroi-or'ts 

 and also lacks this vitta, but is larger, broader, and otherwise differ- 

 ent. 



\l'hle(jiias aiuiultci'ufi. (See page 2;57) This is our common 

 Peliopelta (thhreviata^ now catalogued as a synonym of ((nnulicnts. 

 I have not verified the occurrence of anttulicn's in the sand region if 



first. Reuter in a later article made rlrarin.'i a synonym aS propiiifjiius, but Lethierry 

 and Severin list the species under the name ricarhix, giving propltujuus as a synonym. 

 fThe two notes without serial numlier were added after the printing of the 

 list.
