AMERICAN HEMIFTERA. 61 



Baiia*«a Paekardi Stal. 



This species is well described by Stal, and may be distinguished 

 by its coarse, distant, irregularly disposed punctures. My only 

 specimen is from St. Augustine. Stal describes it from North Caro- 

 lina; the Museum of Comparative Zoology has examples from 

 Georgia; and in Prof. Smith's List of the Insects of New Jersey it 

 is accredited to "Sea Isle City, N. J." 



Baiiasa eiicltlora Stal. 



The clear light green color of this pretty insect with the white 

 spot at the basal angles of the scutellum will readily distinguish it. 

 Stal records it from Texas and South Carolina; Uhler from Mary 

 land, Florida and Indian Territory; Osborn from Iowa, and I have 

 seen others from Georgia. 

 Piezodortis Ciiiildiiigi Westvv. 



In giving the distribution of this species in his paper on the 

 Heteroptera of Grenada, Dr. Uhler a accredits it to southern Florida, 

 and Prof. Osborn has recently sent me an example captured in New 

 Mexico. 

 Piezodorus incarnatus Germar. 



From Mr. Otto Heidemann I have received an example of this 

 European species that is labelled "Jacksonville, Fla. ? " It has not 

 before been recorded from this side of the Atlantic, and if taken in 

 Florida has doubtless been introduced there. It is a larger species 

 than the preceding, and well distinguished by the deep black tergum 

 bordered without by the pale yellowish connexivum. The inner 

 field of the elytra and base of the pronotum are shaded to dark cas- 

 taneous; the color on the pronotum, however, is not differentiated 

 before by a pale band as in Gidldiagl. The large black stigmata 

 are, perhaps, characteristic of the genus, as is the long ventral spine 

 which passes the intermediate coxae. 



Arveliiis albopuiictatiis De Geer. 



Dr. Uhler records this from Arizona, California and Florida. I 

 have seen specimens taken in the latter State by Mrs. Slosson. It 

 is readily distinguislied by the sharp pi-qjecting apex of the cheeks, 

 the acute hunieral angles, the pale general color, with white calloused 

 points on the elytra, and a few scattering black })unctures over the 

 rest of the surface.
