Eysarcoris piinctiger Walker. 



Described from California. Unrecognized by recent students. 



Padseus irroratiis H S. 



Mr. Barber has added this species also to our fauna. He has a 

 specimen taken in Florida. 



Geuus BREPHOLOXA n. gen. 



Aspect of a small Loxa, but more closely allied to Liotropis 

 Uhler. Head long, triangular; cheeks longer than the tylus and 

 nearly or quite contiguous before its apex, the sides nearly rectili- 

 near, scarcely sinuated before the eyes; surface flat, edge carinated. 

 Antennje short, basal joint not reaching the apex of the head, sec- 

 ond longest, third, fourth and fifth a little shorter, subequal. Buc- 

 ulse percurrent, but slightly elevated, forming a prominent tooth 

 near the base of the rostrum. Rostrum reaching to the hind coxse, 

 first joint scarcely attaining the base of the head, second longest, 

 fourth sliortest. Pronotum rather short, humeri prominent, latero- 

 anterior margins crenulated. Scutellum triangular, the frenum ex- 

 tending somewhat beyond the middle. Apical angles of the abdo- 

 minal segments scarcely prominent; base of the venter with a short 

 acute spine that reaches between the hind coxse. Femora unarmed. 

 Osteolar canal short, truncated. Sternum ecarinate. 



This genus may be distinguished from Loxa,Chlorocoris and their 

 allies by the ventral spine, and from jEgius, with which it would 

 fall in Stal's synopsis, by the different length of the antennal joints, 

 shorter rostrum, longer ventral spine, form of the abdomen, smooth 

 margins of the venter, and especially by wanting the elytral dilata- 

 tion. Superficially this genus bears a .strong resemblance to Thy- 

 anta. It is still nearer to Liotropis Uhler, but differs in its more 

 elongated form and the shorter truncated osteolar canal. It corres- 

 ponds very closely with Liotropis in the form of the head and pro- 

 notum and in the presence of a ventral spine. I would arrange it 

 immediately before that genus. 



Brepholoxa Heideinanni n. sp. 



Uniform pale testaceous yellow, closely and evenly set with concolorons punc- 

 tures. Apex of the antennie and rostrum, margins, both above and below, of the 

 head and of the pronotum as far as the humeri, tinged with rufous, these mar- 

 gins more or less edged with blacl^ish for a little space before and behind the 

 eyes. Tarsi sometimes tinged with rufous. Tergum concolorons, inipunctate. 

 Humeri subacute. Wings hyaline. Apex of the scutellum produced, narrow, 

 the tip subacute. The elytral costa is very feebly angled about one-third of the 

 length from its base. Sixth ventral segment roundedly produced anteriorly on
