 joint green ; apex of tlie genital segment of the male deeply concavely 



excavated, outer angles subacute • fHceta. 



Larger, 15 mm. in length ; antennse black, basal joint only green ; costal edge 

 of the elytra beyond the middle blackish ; apes of the genital segment 

 of the male feebly concave with a rounded median tooth, outer angles

<). Form elongate oblong; outer margins, apex of the scutellum, three large dots 

 on its base, and numerous smooth calloused points on the pronotum, 

 scutellum and elytra whitish, the margins sometimes tinged with 



red Sayi. 



Form broader, the three smooth dots on the base of the scutellum when present 

 inconsi)icnoiis 7. 



7. Form broad oval ; color deep clear green ; entire margins behind the head and 



tip of the scutellum reddish yellow or even crimson ; genital segment 

 of the male strongly produced on the ventiat surface; inhabits eastern 



and northeastern States jiiuiperina. 



Margins of the entire body and tip of the scutellum usually inconspicuously 

 pale, if strongly contrasted or red then the genital segment of the male 

 is not produced on the ventral surface; inhabits the western States- .8. 



8. Size large, form oblong; outer margins and apex of scutellum conspicuously

Pentatoina (L.io<lei'iiia) saiicia Say. 



So far as I can learn, the range of this species is confined to the 

 country adjacent to the Atlantic seacoast. I took a few examples 

 on the salt marshes about New Haven, Conn., in 1882; Prof. Ball 

 has sent me several taken at Revere, Mass., in September, and in 

 Smith's List of the Insects of New Jersey it is recorded as having 

 been taken on Staten Island by Mr. W. T. Davis. Say records it 

 from Virginia and Florida, and doubtfully from Pennsylvania or 

 Indiana. The olive brown color, with a longitudinal black line 

 within the costa, will readily distinguish this species. 



I'entatoina (Liio<leriiia) viridicata Walker. 



This very distinct little species is generally accredited to Uhler, 

 but it was really described by Walker (^List ii, p. 28) eight years
