seems the most nearly allied. Its figure, however, appears broader, the 

 general color is a dark cinnamon fulvous, more or less piceous upon the 

 disk of the pronotum. 



Head rufo-fulvous, the face obsoletely transversely wrinkled, having a few im- 

 pressed points scattered over the surface ; base of vertex with a slightly raised deltoid 

 spot ; eyes projecting a little wider than the front of the pronotum, but decidedly 

 most prominent in the male ; antennae slender, of medium length, rufo-fulvous ; with 

 the apical one-third of second joint fuscous, that joint graduated a little thicker to- 

 wards the tip, and about as long as the pronotum and eye united ; third and fourth 

 joints together shorter than the second, dusky, white at base, the third a little longer 

 than the fourth ; rostrum rufous, reaching to the middle coxte. Pronotum trapezoidal, 

 moderately convex, wide, the lateral margins diagonal, slightly sinuated, but a little 

 more sinuated in the male. Legs, pectus, and basal half of venter pale rufo-fulvous, 

 the apical half of the latter piceous ; coxre more or less white. Scutellum dusky, 

 moderately tumid, a little scabrous, fulvous at tip. Corium and clavus cinnamon 

 fulvous, sometimes darker, the former with a very slender silvery band beyond the 

 base, a second similar, dislocated one behind the middle and a silvery dot at the inner 

 angle of the cuneus ; the cuneus and a polished spot near the apex of corium pale 

 piceous; the membrane dusky. 



Length to tip of membrane 3 — 3| mm.; to end of abdomen 2| mm. Width of 

 base of pronotum 1 mm. 



This form appears more flat above than is common to the species in 

 this division of the genus. 



Several specimens were kindly sent to me by the late B. D. Walsh, 

 who collected them in the neighborhood of Rock Island, 111. 



Pamillia, new genus. 



Form of Pilophorus, but more close set and with a thicker abdomen. 

 Head deeper and more convex, face narrower and more nearly vertical : 

 occiput with a carina between the eyes ; antenna? exceptionally thick, of 

 nearly equal thickness throughout, the second joint as long as the eye and 

 pronotum united, third and fourth together about as long as the second, 

 and both contracted at base, the fourth shortest, conical at tip. Pronotum 

 trapeziform, about as wide as long, very convex, deeply sinuated each 

 side, which causes the posterior angles to prominently project laterally. 

 Hemelytra much widened behind the middle as far as the tip, the outer 

 margin of corium broadly curved, widely refiexed ; the cuneus wide and 

 short, acute at tip, feebly incised at base. Legs stout, the hind pair long, 

 and all the tarsi slender. 



P. Behrensii, new sp. 



Chestnut brown, moderately polished, more robust and wider posteriorly than 

 the average species of Pilophorus. The pronotum also proportionately wider, with 

 the lateral margins oblique, concave, and the disk more generally convex. Head 

 convex, shorter, and less compressed than in Pilophorus, polished, very minutely 

 scabrous, transversely obsoletely wrinkled, depressed across the base, the middle line
