ruptly bent, its surface is impunctate, with well defined borders, 

 and its form is narrow, almost linear, throuji;hoiit. In Symphylus 

 from South and Central America, in which the pattern of marking 

 is much the same, the osteolar canal is short and straight. Diolcus 

 is a broader form, with bisulcate tibite, and the osteolar canal barely 

 longer than broad. Camirus has the pronotum transversely im- 

 pressed across the middle, while in Odoiitoscelis the osteolar orifice 

 is wanting and the whole insect is clothed with matted hairs. 



Camirus porosiiN Gorm. 



Of this small black species I have seen one specimen, taken in 

 Florida by Mrs. Slosson, and another from the same State was 

 kindly given to me by Mr. Otto Heidemann. Dr. Uhler recards it 

 from California and Texas, and the Museum of Comparative Zo 

 ology has an example from Vancouver. 



' CainiriijS consociiis Uiiler. 



Dr. Uhler describes this species under genus Zophoessa from 

 Arizona. I have not yet seen it. 



Of the described species of Camirus not found in our territory, I 

 have seen only eonicus from British (juiana. This is a brown spe- 

 cies, marked much as in Sphi/rocoris obliquits Germ. Camirus 

 sociics Stal seems to be most nearly allied to eonicus, while moestus 

 Stal is a larger black species. Both are from Mexico. 



^'Acantlioloina <leiiticulata Stal. 



Described from Illinois. I have not yet seen it. 

 Phiinodera torpida Walker. 



The only specimen of this species I have seen was kindly given to 

 me by Rev. M. Wirtner, and bears a label ' Boulder, Colo." It is 

 of a dark fuscous color, marked with a pale semicircular patcli, cir- 

 cum.scribed with blackish, on the base of the scutellum at either 

 side. The surface is minutely dotted with pale, and there is an 

 obsolete pale median line above. 



'Phiinodera biiiutata Say. 



I have never seen anything I could locate as this species. Judging 

 from Say's description it must be very near to torpida. 



Phiinodera corriigata n. sp. 



Size of P. torpida Waikei-. More convex above, broader, almost truncated 

 behind; shoulders prominent, tumid, and the whole upjier surface roughly cor-
