12 EDWARJJ P. VAN DUZEE. 



Pachycoris torrid iin Scopoli. 



Uliler gives Califoriiiu as a hal)itat for this species uiuler the 

 name Fabricii, and describes it from Lower California under the 

 name Stallii. In the Lethierry & Severin Catalogue it is accredited 

 to California. It seems to me not improbable that the above refer- 

 ences to "California" really refer to Lower California, a province 

 of Mexico, and therefore excluded from the faunal limits of the 

 present list. 



Orsilochiiw giitlatus H. S. 



Dr. Uhler has been kind enough to give me a specimen of this 

 species that was taken in Florida. Mrs. Slosson has taken it in the 

 same State, and the Museum of Comparative Zoology has it from 

 South Carolina. 



Diolciis irroratus Fabr. 



Mrs. Slosson has kindly sent me for examination one specimen of 

 the forni named Jiavescens by Westwood, that she took in southern 

 Florida. This form oi' irroratus approaches Boscii, but may be dis- 

 tinguished by its more convex form, the absence of the metallic 

 punctures on the sides of the pleurfe, etc. It makes an interesting 

 addition to our fauna. 



Diolcu!« clirysorrhoeus Fabr. 



Say described this species, as viridipunctatus, from Florida, and 

 Uhler records it from South Carolina and Mississippi, and Mr. 

 Henshaw has sent n)e several that were taken in Texas. It may be 

 distinguished from Bosci, which it resembles in color, by its being 

 much more convex. 



Genus AULACOSTETHUS Ubler. 

 This genus is not included in Stal's Synopsis. It closely resem- 

 bles Diolcus, and has the bisulcate tibise of that genus, but may be 

 distinguished by having the osteolar canal long and slightly curved, 

 with an obtuse apex. 



AulacoNiethiiM niarnioratiis Say. 



The only sj)ecimens 1 have of this species were sent to me from 

 Georgia by the former State Entomologist, Mr. W. M. Scott. It 

 has been recorded from New Jersey, Maryland, and North Caro- 

 lina, and Mr. Henshaw has sent me specimens taken at Dallas, Tex.
