longitudinal median line above. The anterior extension of the 

 sixth ventral segment in the female is distinctly rounded, with 

 scarcely an indication of an angle, and the truncated posterior mar- 

 gin has a slight tooth-like projection at the middle. 



Coriinelieiia diillettii, n. sp. 



Closely allied to hiteralis but larger. Head proportionately broader, .shorter, 

 and less convex transversely, witli the surface more coarsely punctured and the 

 margins less deeply siniiated. Ocelli whitish- or uncolored, not rufous as in 

 lateralis. Extreme apex of the tylus inferiorly white, in lateralis entirely black. 

 Form of the pronotum as in lateralis but with the surface before and behind the 

 humeral angles more impressed, the disk posteriorly not so strongly punctured 

 and the smooth area over the callosities less defined. Scutellum with weaker 

 punctuation on the disk, and with a slender carinate margin adjacent to the 

 inner edge of the elytra, defined within by an impressed line. In lateralis the 

 surface is punctured to the extreme edge. Elytra black with a narrow smooth 

 costal vitta, widest at its truncated apex and slightly narrowed toward its base. 

 Edge of the abdomen with a strong yellow line on the sixth segment, and in the 

 female a similar line on the genital segment. Apex of the sixth ventral segment 

 in the female regularly arcuated, not sinuated with a slight median tooth as in 

 lateralis. Legs piceous, kndes [laler. Antenuse I'ostrum and tarsi rufo-castanous. 



Described from two female exam})les in my own collection, one of 

 which T swept from weeds by the railroad track at Cape May Coui't 

 House, N. J., August 21, 1902, the other received several years ago 

 from a correspondent in Canada, without locality ; and a good series 

 received from Prof. Herbert Osborn, taken at Bay Kidge, Md. ; 

 Washington, D. C. ; Ironton, Ohio ; and South McAlester, Ind. 

 Terr. (Wickham). Two males from Dallas, Texas, differ only in 

 being proportionately narrower and a little smaller. This seems to 

 be the eastern representative of the n)ore western lateralis. Con- 

 sidering the localities from which Fabricius doubtless received his 

 American material it would seem more natural to reverse the.se two 

 species (^lateralis and Gillettil), but his description of the elytra of 

 his species cannot be construed to apply to the present form. For 

 first recognition of this species the larger size (about 4 mm.) and 

 the form of the white costal yitta on the cerium will be found most 

 useful. 



It gives me pleasure to dedicate this species to Prof. C. P. Gillette, 

 whose services in bringing once more to light the long lost Corime- 

 Icena albipennis Say deserves recognition, and whose generous 

 assistance I have had reason to appreciate more than once while 

 prosecuting my work on the Hemiptera.
