AMERICAN HEMIPTERA H7 



before Uhler's (lescri|)tioii appeared. Walker doubtless received 

 his material from Dr. Uhler with this MS. name attached, which 

 he afterward used when he [)ublished his description. I believe 

 this is a rare or at least a local species. Dr. Uhler records it from 

 Montana, Colorada, and Lower California, and the collection of the 

 Agricultural College at Fort Collins, Colo., contains a good series 

 from that State. The color varies, probably with maturity, from 

 light green to dark olive green. The peculiar shape of the insect is 

 well shown in Dr. Uhler's figure.

 i. p. 39, 1837.) 



This species seems to be not uncommon along the Atlantic coast 

 of Long Island, Staten Lsland, and New Jersey. I cannot learn 

 that it occurs elsewhere, although its range doubtless extends south- 

 ward at least to Virginia. The long nari'ow form and uniform dull 

 olive color will distinguish this species It clo.seIy resembles the fig- 

 ure of\-Elia atricornis Westw. given by Distant in Proc. Zoo). Soc, 

 1890, pi. 58, tig. 8, but is much larger than the size indicated on the 

 plate.

I am indebted to Prof. Herbert Osboru for the opportunity of 

 exauiining a line specimen of this interesting species taken at Little 

 Rock, Iowa. The color is a light greenish testaceous, with the elytra 

 and venter of a clearer green, the narrow edge of the pronotum and 

 elytra and a broad median vitta on the scutellum are yellowish. 

 There is a slender curved black line on the sides of the propleura 

 anteriorly, and the costal edge of the elytra beyond the middle and 

 the sides of the scutellum at apex are blackish. The sides of the 

 head are less deeply sinuated than in faceta, and the tibia? are much 

 more deeply sulcate above. 



This is certainly a rare species, and is probably confined to the 

 Mississippi Valley and the adjacent fertile plains. Stal records it 

 from Illinois, and Uhler adds Canada and Nebraska. 



Peiitatonia (Rliytidoloniia) Osborni n. sp. 



Form of P. faceta Say, but mucli larger. Pale testaceous yellow, coarsely and 

 deeply punctured, elytra piceous hlack, the costa broadly pale. Head long and 

 tapering as in faceta, cbeeks hardly longer than the tylus, not so long as in senilis 

 punctures confluent on the cbeeks, more distant on the base of the vertex, almost
