genitalia are also quite distinct, the valves being more convex and 

 the outer plates more produced inwardly on the apical margin. The 

 rostrum is a little shorter in my specimen and the second joint of 

 the antennae is longer, the tooth at the anterior end of the buccul?e 

 is much smaller than in either of the allied species. My only speci- 

 men is a female kindly sent to me by Mr. W. M. Scott, formerly 

 State Entomologist of Georgia, in which State it was captured. I 

 have seen another from the same State in the Cornell University 

 collection. 



Genus SCIOCORIS Fallen. 

 This is distinctively a paliearctic genus of which no species has 

 heretofore been recorded in this country. Butler has described one 

 from South America, and Walker another from St. Vincent, but the 

 latter may not be correctly located here. Recently Prof. Osliorn 

 has sent me for study a single specimen that he thinks was taken in 

 southern Texas, and from Mrs. Slosson I have received a specimen 

 of microphthalmus captured by her in the White Mountains. Prof. 

 Osborn's species I have not been able to identify with any yet de- 

 scribed ; I do not, however, like to publish it as new without more 

 material. 



Sciocoris iiiicroplitlialiuiis Flor. 



Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson has very kindly sent for my exam- 

 ination a specimen of this species taken by her on Mt. Washington, 

 New Hampshire. It is the first and only occurrence of this species 

 in our territory of which I have knowledge. This is a little brown 

 depressed bug with alternated connexivum and broad rounded head 

 and scutellum.
