HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA. 353 



Inhabits Indiana. 



Body fuscous : head with the process before the eyes acute and 

 rather prominent ; nasus somewhat robust : antennae reddish- 

 brown, second and third joints equal; fourth joint two-thirds 

 the length of the third : thorax with two approximate elevated 

 lines and a less obvious lateral line which is obsolete before ; 

 lateral margin rather widely reflected, yellowish : hemelytra 

 varied a little with dull yellowish: humerus yellowish, dilated ; 

 tergum with rather broad transverse rufous lines on the margin ; 

 rostrum longer than the head : venter, on the margin like the 

 margin of the tergum. 



Length seven-twentieths of an inch. 



The equality in length of the second and third joints of the 

 antennae, distinguishes this species. [ 798 ] 



7. A. GRANULATUS. — Second joint of the antennae shorter 

 than the third j corium but little longer than the scutel, edge of 

 the thorax obtusely emarginate. 



Inhabits Florida and Indiana. 



Body fuscous, densely granulated : head with an impressed 

 line each side near the eyes and two near the middle, an acute 

 point before the eyes and an obtuse tip : antennae rather short, 

 second and fourth joints equal; third joint longest: thorax 

 slightly lineated before, but without any appearance of an elevated 

 line behind : lateral edge obtusely emarginate before the middle: 

 scutel broad, obtuse at tip : hemelytra narrower than the abdo- 

 men ; humerus not dilated; nervures distinct; corium but little 

 longer than the scutel, with rather prominent nervures ; mem- 

 brane dull whitish : wings as long as the hemelytra : tergum, 

 beneath the wings, rufous : rostrum not longer than the head. 



Length one-fifth of an inch. 



I found it common in Florida. 



With the two following species, it possesses many characters 

 in common with Aneurus, and may be considered as the connec- 

 ting link with that genus. It has the short, dilated rostrum ; 

 the second joint of the antennae shorter than the third ; the 

 wide, obtuse scutel ; the short feet, and the anterior feet set wide 

 apart as in that genus, but the appearance of the head and the 

 structure of the hemelytra correspond with Aradus, excepting 

 the brevity of the corium.
