areole very wide and long, the inner areole very distinct, about one-third 

 as wide at tip as the preceding. Middle joint of tarsi very short, the basal 

 and apical ones long, nearly equal. 



B. amicta, new sp. 



Ivory yellow, or pale fulvous ; form much like that of Gcocoris bullatus Say. 

 Head smooth, an oblong spot in each angle at base ol vertex, a crescent each side 

 hounding the convexity of the face, transverse ridges of the front placed each side ot 

 a depressed longitudinal line, three spots above the tylus, middle line of the latter, 

 and margins of all the segments of the cheeks rufous ; sockets of the antenna-, basal 

 joint of the same, and basal joint of the rostrum dark piceous. Base ol vertex with 

 an impression along the front of the carina, and this connects with the longitudinal 

 indentation each side, and next below which is an arcuated, impressed, scabrous line 

 bounding each side of the front ; basal carina almost straight, the occipital area 

 piceous, triangularly excavated each side; antennae rather slender, excepting the 

 basal joint, dusky, paler at tip, the second joint of equal thickness throughout, much 

 thinner than the basal one, and about as long as the eye and pronotum taken to- 

 gether ; rostrum pale piceous beyond the basal joint, leaching over the tip of the 

 posterior coxa y , but extending upon the base of the last ventral segment (J 1 . Pro- 

 notum polished, a little narrower in front than at base, ivory-yellow, roughly un- 

 evenly punctate, piceous on the collum, posterior margin, and on the lateral margin 

 at base ; fore part of the disk fulvous each side. Margins of the pleural segments, 

 and more or less of the coxa, rufous. Scutellum ivory -yellow, piceous across the 

 base, polished, minutely wrinkled. Corium feebly polished, opaque, obsoletely 

 punctate, margined exteriorly and interiorly and with a gradually widening curved 

 streak running back to a wavy broad band at tip, piceous ; clavus more coarsely 

 punctate, margined on both sides with piceous ; cuneus ivory-yellow, broadly piceous 

 at tip and slenderly so on the exterior margin ; membrane dusky, paler at base, the 

 nervules of the areoles pale yellow, and the areoles dusky next the tip. Legs dull 

 testaceous, more or less piceous on the femora and tip ot tibiae, tarsi dark piecous. 

 Venter highly polished, the sutures, incisures, ovipositor, and genitalia rufo-piceous 

 or rufous. 



Length to tip of venter 4 mm. ; to tip of membrane 4^ -5 mm. 



Mr. Bolter collected several specimens in New Mexico and kindly 

 gave me a pair of both sexes. 



Div. PLAGIOGNATHARIA. 



Psallus delicatus, new sp. 



Rosy pink or testaceous tinged with dull brown ; moderately robust, polished. 

 Head almost vertical ; face convex, smooth along the middle, and each side of this 

 with a crescent composed of short iuscous transverse lines, the middle line of vertex 

 obsoletely impressed ; tylus short, prominent, tinged with pale piceous ; antenna 

 testaceous, dusky on the last two joints, sometimes the basal and second joints pale 

 piceous ; basal shorter than the head, the second a little longer than the pronotum ; 

 tips of the cheeks and base and tip of the rostrum generally piceous, the latter reach- 

 ing upon the posterior coxa ; eyes dark brown, nearly vertical, abruptly narrowed 

 beneath where bending upon the throat. Pronotum polished, convex, transverse, re- 

 motely very obscurely punctate ; the lateral margins carinate-reflexed, oblique, 

 hardly sinuated ; the callosities generally fuscous in the surrounding depressed lines;
