HEiMIPTERA 167 



with blackish-brown. Posterior margin of pronotum (narrowly) and the scutellum 

 posteriorly, flavous. Elytra blackish-brown, closely spotted with fuscotestaceous, the 

 spots larger on the costal area, membrane fumate, spotted with testaceous. Legs dark- 

 brown, anterior and intermediate femora pallidly annulate near the apex ; posterior 

 femora pallidly biannulate near the ape.x ; tibiae annulate near the ape.x. Conne.xivum 

 above pallid. Abdominal sternites brownish-black. 



Head above obscurely rugose punctured, beneath and sterna strongly and freely 

 punctured, pronotum and scutellum strongly punctured, medianly carinate. Bucculae 

 reach to base of head. Rostrum very long. Antennae seven-tenths of the length of the 

 bug, first segment a little incrassate. second one-half to three-fourths longer than first, 

 slightly longer than the third, one-fourth to one-fifth longer than the fourth, which is 

 fusiform. Pronotum with smooth, short, undulate, subelevate transverse area ; a little 

 wider basally than apically, anterolateral angles broadly rounded, lateral margins sinuate. 

 Pronotum a trifle more than twice as wide as long. Elytra finely rugose punctured, 

 lateral margin of corium straight for about one-eighth of its length, then strongly 

 arcuately dilated, apical margin roundly sinuate. Membrane large, extending con- 

 siderably beyond apex of corium, nervures pronounced. Posterior femora stout, first 

 tarsal segment lonofer than second and third together, third longer than second. 



^. Rostrum reaching to apex of posterior coxae or slightly beyond ; si.xth sternite 

 apically slightly roundly emarginate, seventh somewhat deeply so. 



%. Rostrum reaching to base of fourth abdominal segment ; sixth sternite apically 

 somewhat deeply ; seventh less deeply, angularly emarginate. 



Long. 7 — 9 mm.

Similar to A/. co)itracfa, but the pronotum is a little narrower behind and shorter ; 

 the lateral margins of the corium a little less straight anteriorly ; the membrane scarcely 

 reaching beyond the apex of the corium, the nervures little apparent, the posterior 

 femora less stout and not nearly reaching as far as the apex of the abdomen. 



Eirst and second segments of antennae (and sometimes the third partly) pallid 

 fuscous, the fourth (and sometimes the third) fumate. Costal area spotted. Apical half 

 of posterior femora pallid, basal half black. \'enter brownish, mottled with pallid ; 

 femora and tibiae all biannulate. Bucculae reaching to about two-thirds the length of
