" Similar to juniper ina, more convex and narrower. Color lighter 

 and clearer green ; three pale points on the base of the scutellum, 

 two of these on the basal angles more distinct, and a large trianguhir 

 one on the apex ; from this a feeble furrow runs forward, on each 

 side of which are a few paler raised points. Rostrum reaching the 

 ha.se of the abdomen, last joint piceous. Antennae, first joint green, 

 second olive green, remaining joints rufescent." 



This species might be identified with juniperina were it not that 

 the author compares his in.sect directly with that species and con- 

 siders it as distinct. His figure indicates a broader species, with the 

 three pale calloused points on the base of the scutellum more pro- 

 nounced and the outer margins paler in color than in j uiiiperina. 

 In both of these species the antennse are green becoming rufous or 

 rufopiceous toward the tip. 



On page 98 Kouchakevitch describes another species from Mon- 

 terey, of which the following is a copy of the Latin diagnosis: 



'^ Cimex albosparsus A. Koucli. Male long. 13 mm., lat. 7k min., tab. 2, fig. 2. 

 Pallide viridis, opacus, punctatus; thorace, scutello, et corio elytrorum callosita- 

 tibus albis, laevibus, irregulariter conspersis ; niembrana hyalina, coniiesivo flavo- 

 viridis; snbtus paliidus, abdomine medio flaviscente viridibus." 



I have not yet been able to identify this with any Mexican Pen- 

 tatomid known to me. Some points in the description indicate 

 »SW/i, l)ut the form absolutely forbids such a reference. Well exe- 

 cuted figures of this species and flavomarginatui< are given in the 

 paper from which these descriptions are copied, and for the loan of 

 which I am indebted to the kindness of Dr. Henry Skinner of the 

 Pliiladelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. 



Peiitatotna (Chlorocliroa) congriia Uhler. 



This species is somewhat of a puzzle to me. Uhler's description 

 agrees very well with some of the smaller specimens of /-•. Uh/eri. 

 I have, however, followed the lead of others and identified it with a 

 small species that has come to me from various correspondents under 

 the names congrua Uhler, intricota Uhler, and Harrisii Westw.
