AMERICAN HEMIPTERA. I i 



^' Acaiitholonia denticiilatH Stal. 



Mr. Heidemann has an example of this species tliat was taken in 

 Kansas — the first I have seen. It closely resembles Camirus poro.nis 

 Germ., but the pronotum is broader before, with its edge and the 

 margins of the head inferiorly minutely denticulate. 



* Podops diibius P. B. 



Mr. Heideman has sent me a pair determined as this species that 

 were taken at Fortress Monroe, Virginia. After a careful study of 

 these specimens I feel, no doubt, but that the determination is cor 

 rect, at least as the species is identified by Stal. The following note 

 may assist in locating it in the future: 



Larger than ciiictipes Say. Length, male, 7 mm. ; female 9 mm. 

 Head about as in ciiictipes, the tylus more tumid and prominent for 

 its whole length. Second joint of the antennae obviously longer than 

 the third, the incisure distinct. Pronotum shaped as in cinctipes, 

 the tooth at the anterior angle more prominent, directed outward 

 and a very little forward. Scutellum in the female proportionately 

 broader and shorter than in ciiictipes. Punctures l)ecoming obsolete 

 aiul distant along the middle line of the venter, as in cinctipes; the 

 sixth ventral segment strongly and almost acutely produced ante- 

 riorly, as in parvulns. The genital characters of the male are about 

 those of cinctipes, but the depressed apical smootish' area of the 

 genital segment is broader and rounded anteriorly, not subproduced 

 and encroaching upon the punctured basal area as in cinctipes, and 

 the apical angles are even more strongly produced than in cinctipes, 

 with their tips pale. In the female the apex of the genital segment 

 is distinctly emarginate, and the apical margin of the sixth ventral 

 segment is feebly produced at the middle, a character quite obvious 

 in some examples of cinctipes. This pair is paler in color than is 

 usual in the allied species, and the pale colors on the breast and legs 

 are correspondingly more extended. The form of the scutellum 

 does not ditfer in the two sexes in our other tW() species, and it is 

 quite possible that this difference is not constant in dubius. 



Eiischi!«tus biroriniM Stal. 



Mr. Harry G. Barber of New York City has a specimen of this 

 species that was taken in Arizona. This is its first recorded occur- 

 rence within our territory.
