prouotum, scutellum, and especially on the elytra, and the three 

 large calloused points on the base ot the scutellum are characteristic. 

 The antennae are black, with tlie first and sonietinies the base of the 

 second joint green. The ventral surface of the male genital seg 

 ment is strongly produced. The colors vary exactly as in C. ligata. 

 This seems to be a very abundant sj)ecies throughout the Rocky 

 Mountains, and Prof. F. H. Snow has taken it as far east as western 

 Kansas. My material is from Montana, Idaho, California, Utah, 

 and Colorado. In the latter State it has even become a serious pest 

 in the grain fields during the past summer. I have taken it in 

 greatest numbers from a low Lotiicera growing on the foot-hills in 

 Colorado. 



Pentatoina Htirrisii Westw 



This species is so uncertain, both as to habitat and identity, it 

 seems best to pass it for the present with the statement that Distant 

 gives a good figure of it in Proc. Zool. Soc, 1900, pi. 53, tig. 2. 



Cai*i>0(«ori!« lynx Fabr. 



Not uncommon throughout Colorado and the adjoining States. I 

 have taken it at Ogden, Utah, and Prof. Wickhani has sent nie 

 specimens from Williston, N. Dak., and from Prof. Cooley I have 

 received some taken in Montana. Dr. Uhler records it from Cali- 

 fornia. The pale green and pink of the upper surface gives this 

 insect a very pretty appearance. 



In Of. Finisk. Soc, xxvi, p. 32, 1884, Reuter has described a 

 variety longiceps of this species. I have not seen this description, 

 and cannot state how it differs from the ordinary form of the species. 



Moriiiidea liigfiis Fabr. 



This insect is common everywhere throughout the eastern United 

 States and Canada, and is somewhat less abundant in the west from 

 British America to Mexico. Say described it as Pentatovia pxincUpes. 



Morinidea pictiveiitriM Stal. 



Mr. Samuel Henshaw has kindly prepared for me a list of the 

 North American Pentatomids in the Museum of Comparative Zo- 

 ology at Cambridge. This list includes a number of species not 

 before recorded from our territory, and among them the present, 

 which is credited to Texas.
