338 HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA. 



Length over seven-twentieths of an inch. 



Male. — Anterior tibiae arquated towards the base and with a 

 spine near the middle. 



I have taken this species in Pennsylvania, Florida, Indiana 

 and Missouri. I have placed it in the present genus on account 

 of its cylindrical thorax ; but it ought perhaps to form a distinct 

 subgenus. 



CAPSUS F. 



1. C. OCREATUS. — Sanguineous: band on the hemelytra and 

 their membrane black. 



Inhabits Georgia. 



Body light sanguineous : thorax with two transverse impressed 

 lines before the middle ; lateral edge black ; hemelytra with a 

 narrow, black band ; the lateral edge a little reflected ; membrane- 

 ous part purple black, with a white terminal margin : be- 

 neath immaculate : thighs simple, anterior pair about four-spined 

 beneath at tip ; tibiae blackish-piceous. 



Length less than two-fifths of an inch. [783] 



A very pretty species. It was presented to me by Mr. Oemler. 

 I have not seen the characters of Fallen's genera Corizus and 

 Phytocoris, and it is probable that I have included in this genus, 

 species of both, for the antennae of a few of these are filiform. 



2. C succiNCTUS F. Var. a. Surface paler, with numerous 

 black punctures, giving a dusky appearance ; origin of the an- 

 tennae, and a line on each side of the origin of the rostrum san- 

 guineous. 



Inhabits Mexico. 



Antennae in this species robust filiform, the last joint being 

 equal in diameter to the others ; eyes remarkably prominent. 



3. C. MIMUS. — Hemelytra yellowish, with a black spot and tip : 

 beneath whitish with sanguineous incisures. 



Inhabits Mexico. 



Head sanguineous ; antennae, excepting at base and terminal 

 joint of the rostrum black ; thorax, anterior margin white, 

 bounded by an impressed line, beyond which the surface is san- 

 guineous to an impressed line on the middle, posterior half pale 

 yellowish with a black central base : scutel black : hemelytra 

 pale yellow, with a large triangular spot on the middle, and
