Nabidea, Uhler. Proceedings. Boston Soc. N.H. 1878, proves to be 

 the same as Collaria Provancher: and the species coracina Uhler, is his 

 C. Meilleurii. It is a form closely allied ioG/obiceps of which one species 

 inhabits Canada and the more Northern States; a second, C. infuscata 

 Uhl., is common throughout the Middle and Southern States; and a 

 third inhabits Cuba and San Domingo. 



COLLARIA, Prov 



C. explicata, new sp. Form nearly of C. infuscata, but rather more Blender. 

 Color fulvo-testaceous deeper anteriorly and on the basal joint of antenna; and tips 

 of femora. Head smooth before the eyes, the base transversely wrinkled; front 

 prominent, rufous; the superior lobe of cheeks, tip of rostrum, and eyes blacki-.li 

 piceus. Underside of head presternum, vertex, and base of all the legs pale ye! ow. 

 Rostrum reaching the posterior coxae. Antennae about one and a half times the 

 length of the body, slender, fuscous beyond the basal joint. Pronotum coarsely, 

 unevenly punctate, the central raised line, and the collar pale, the callosities distinct 

 and more or less rufous; each side of base is a round velvety black spot. Scutellum 

 slightly duskey, the middle ridge and base paler. Legs Long, delicately hirsute, the 

 femora distinctly dotted with black near the base, the nails, tips of femora, and 

 apical portion of tarsi piceous. Wing covers pale testaceous, the clavus, except at 

 base, and the inner half, or more, of the corium dark fuscous; the cuneus and outer 

 margin of the membrane very pale testaceous, remainder of the membrane fuligi- 

 nous, with the nervures dark fuscous; wings very faintly tinged with fuliginous, iri 

 descent, the veins pale piceous. 



Specimens were kindly sent to me from Cuba by Dr. Gundlach. 

 and others were collected by myself in San Domingo. 

 CAMPTOBROCHIS, Fieb. 



C. grandis, new sp. Pale fuscous, or dull chestnut brown, polished. Ellipti- 

 cal, rather more acute at both ends than C. punctulatus Illiger. Head generally 

 ivory white at base, dull testaceous on the vertex, with a curved band of black dots 

 between the base of the eyes, sometimes with a central oval pale spot bounded be- 

 neath by black dots, and with a black stripe each side of tylus, the tylus, labruni 

 and basal joint of rostrum more or less piceous. Antennae slender, testaceous, in- 

 fuscated at base and tip, the second joint feebly thickened at tip, and with a black 

 band at each end. Underside of head piceo-flavous, or testaceous. Rostrum slen 

 der, testaceous, piceous at tip, reaching behind the posterior coxae. Pronotum 

 short, but rapidly narrowing towards the head, polished, convex, very coarsely, un- 

 evenly, remotely punctate, callosities black, polished, very distinct, separated by a 

 pale spot; and behind this is sometimes a larger testaceous spot; lateral mar- 

 gin sinuated, the immediate edge ivory white, or pale; humeral angles a little con- 

 vexly elevated. Scutellum feebly punctate, with the margin, a spot each side at 

 base, and a line at tip pale testaceous, the disk more or less piceous. Pectus and 

 abdomen dark piceous. Coxae and legs testaceous, with two piceous bands at tip 

 of posterior femora; intermediate and posterior tibiae generally with two, less dis- 

 tinct, brown bands, and the tips of all the tibia; and tarsi piceous. Hemelytra pale 

 testaceous, clouded with brown, or nearly uniform brown, polished, punctate. In
