of Philadelphia, and kindly loaned me for study by Dr. 

 Skinner. The males have the pronotum more narrowed 

 anteriorly, the eyes more prominent, the vertex narrower 

 and more depressed and the rostrum shorter, not surpassing 

 the hind coxae. Of perhaps 150 specimens sent most were 

 of some shade of yellowish-green, but a few were of a clear 

 green with the sanguineous color confined to the margin of 

 the cuneus and veins of the membrane. This species differs 

 from Dichrooscytus by the narrower head, almost immarginate 

 vertex, and longer basal joint of the antennas. It has, how- 

 ever, the impunctate pronotum and general facies of this 

 genus, and I believe it should stand here and not in Lygus. 

 The irrorate membrane is conspicuous and distinctive. 



Lopidea cimeata, n. sp. 



Oblong-ovate, broader than media and its allies ; fuscous-brown 

 with the narrow costa and the cuneus pale. Length 6 mm. 



Head fuller and proportionately broader than in media, the vertex 

 not so sunken ; face broader below, the margins distinctly rounded 

 beyond the insertion of the antennae ; color pale flavo-testaceous, base 

 of the vertex black, large disk of the front fuscous with a broad pale 

 longitudinal vitta ; clypeus black, polished. Antennas black ; first 

 joint as long as the width between the eyes ; second as long as the 

 head and pronotum together ; third two-thirds the length of the second ; 

 fourth hardly so long as the first. Rostrum attaining the posterior 

 coxae or nearly so ; piceous, with the sides of the first joint paler. 

 Pronotum fuscous, with the anterior margin and the sides narrowly 

 pale ; broader and shorter than in media; the callousities very strongly 

 elevated, almost tubercular, separated by a deep impression; anterior 

 margin feebly concave, broadly depressed ; sides broadly reflexed, a 

 little sinuated ; hind margin slightly concavely arcuated ; posterior 

 lobe dull, transversely rugose with a feeble depression. Scutellum 

 fuscous, moderately convex. Elytra a little shorter and broader than 

 in media, fuscous-brown ; base, costa, and a short streak on the base of 

 the cubital vein slenderly pale, the commissural nervure very narrowly 

 so; cuneus pale, tinged with rufous within and tipped with black; 

 membrane dark fuliginous. Beneath brown, more or less tinged with 

 rufous along the sides. Legs brown ; coxse, trochanters, and some- 

 times the base of the femora whitish ; propleura pale or suffused with 

 rufous. 



Described from one male and four female examples which 

 were beaten from a large balsam poplar tree at Lancaster,
