January, 



it coidd not have escaped the notice of cither Mr. Morice, Mr. Nevinson, 

 or myself. Its congener, B. viihjaris, has such a peculiar flight that on 

 the only occasion when I met with it I recognised it immediately. 



D. halictula may be known at once from vulgaris by its smaller size, duller 

 surface, moi-e halictif orni shape, and strongly p iinctured mesonotum and abdomen. 

 It ^eatly resembles a small Halictus, from which its wings with only two 

 submarginal cells will easily distinguish it. Thei-e are rare instances when a 

 Halictus has only two submarginals in each wing, but they are so rare that 

 they need hardly be considered ; in such rare cases the long tongue of Dufourea 

 will distinguish it at once. The ^ is particularly like a small Halictus, but the 

 structure of its antennae will distingixish it. They have not got the short 

 transverse joints at the base of the flagellum as in that genus, the face is 

 rounder, and the clypeus is entirely black.

DESCEIPTION OF A NEW BAT-BUG FROM BEITISH COLUMBIA. 

 BY DR. G. HORVATH. 



The Hon. N. Charles Rothschild kindly sent me for examination 

 six specimens of a bug found on October 20th, 1903, on the bat Myotis 

 longicrus, at Okanagan Lauding, British Columbia, by Mr. Allan 

 Brooks. This bug is a true Clinocoris, Fall. {Cimex, L9.tr., nee 

 Linn.), and represents a new species which I describe as follows : — 



Clinocoris pilosellus, n. sp. 

 Fusco-ferrugineus ; capite, pronoto et elytris pilis ochraceis semierectis, 

 minus brevibus parce obsitis ; capite transverse, supeme obsolete punctato, 



clypeo apicem versus leviter dilatato ; 

 antennis pilosulis, ai-ticulo tertio ar- 

 ticulo secundo longitudine sequali et 

 quam articulo quarto 4 longiore ; pro- 

 noto disco obsolete et remote, versus 

 latera autem sat dense pruictato, 

 transverse, ante medium latissimo, 

 latitudine sua maxima longitudine 

 media plus quam duplo majore, basi 

 hjngitudine circiter duplo latiore, 

 apice sat profunde sinuato lateribus 

 a basi antrorsum sensim late explanatis, fortiter arcuatis, angustissime 

 reflexis et sat longe ciliatis, ciliis his latitudine oculi longioribus, angulis 

 anticis antrorsum lobato-productis et mediiun oculorum subattingentibus ; 

 scutello valde transverse, fusee, ebseletissime punctulate ; elytris rudimentariis 

 sat remote distincteque pimctatis, margine apicali recto, versus latera autem
