margined on both sides with white ; membrane dusky, with the nervule darker, often 

 with a whitish spot next the base and near the tip adjoining the cuneus. Abdomen 

 dull above, polished beneath, dark piceous on the sides of venter, often tinged with 

 rufous. 



Length to tip of venter cf 6\, Q 8 mm., to tip of membrane 7i — 9 mm. 



The male in this species has the eyes very prominent and the face 

 correspondingly narrow, forming a decided contrast to the wider and 

 more close-set female. 



It is sometimes moderately common on Pine bushes in Maryland, 

 Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, during the month of July. Specimens 

 have also been sent to me from Texas and Florida.

Rather narrower than the M. infiatum H.-Schf. of Europe. Pale tawny, or 

 delicate rufo-testaceous. Head moderately rounded ; face diagonally, obsoletely 

 wrinkled each side of the middle impressed line ; eyes brownish black ; antennae 

 testaceous, a little sprinkled with red on the basal joint, and more or less red on the 

 tips of the second and third joints, the apical joint nearly as long as the third, fuscous; 

 rostrum reaching to the middle of the venter, yellowish, the basal joint red, the 

 apical one piceous. Pronotum transverse, moderately convex, unevenly moderately 

 coarsely punctate, the edge a little raised and white all around ; callosities less convex 

 than in M. grossuvi, minutely scabrous ; lateral margin a little sinuated, the posterior 

 margin moderately convex, the posterior angles nearly rectangular, with the humeri

 segments. 



Length to tip of venter <J 5 mm., to tip of membrane 6 mm. Width of base of 

 pronotum 2 mm. 



Collected in Arizona by Mr. H. K. Morrison. Thus far, I have 

 examined only females. These have agreed almost exactly in color, size 

 and form, and are about as narrow as the males of the preceding 

 species. 



3. M. mundum, new sp. 



Form similar to that of the preceding species, pale fulvous, or bright yellow, 

 tinged beneath more or less with rufous. Head with a very distinct neck in both 

 sexes, and also with the eyes quite prominent in both. Face almost vertical, distinctly 

 depressed in the male, moderately convex in the female, scabrous, opaque, transversely 

 wrinkled in both sexes, and with the middle line deeply impressed as far as the col- 

 lum ; antennae stout, yellow, the basal joint rufescent, set with long erect bristles, tin 

 apical one infuscated and not much shorter than the third ; rostrum rufo-testaceus,
