  is 
  the 
  longest, 
  but 
  does 
  not 
  nearly 
  reach 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  gula, 
  

   it 
  is 
  one 
  third 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  twice 
  and 
  two-fifths 
  

   as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  third 
  which 
  just 
  reaches 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  

   trochanters; 
  the 
  first 
  segment 
  is 
  also 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  

   the 
  fourth. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  subconvex, 
  narrowly 
  reflexed 
  

   laterally 
  and 
  wide 
  so 
  behind; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  collar 
  in 
  front 
  which 
  

   narrows 
  laterally. 
  The 
  collar 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  lobe 
  are 
  separated 
  

   from 
  the 
  polished 
  main 
  lobe 
  by 
  deep 
  impressions. 
  The 
  hind 
  

   margin 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  is 
  one 
  tenth 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  

   eyes, 
  and 
  two-ninths 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  pronotum 
  anteriorly. 
  The 
  

   pronotum 
  is 
  one 
  half 
  wider 
  behind 
  than 
  its 
  middle 
  length, 
  the 
  

   main 
  lobe 
  being 
  four 
  times 
  and 
  four-fifths 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  hind 
  

   lobe, 
  the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  are 
  not 
  sinuate, 
  the 
  coxae 
  are 
  all 
  

   nearly 
  contiguous. 
  

  

  7 
  Clerada 
  apicicornis 
  SigTi. 
  

  

  This 
  bug 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  old 
  houses, 
  in 
  neglected 
  boxes, 
  

   drawers, 
  etc. 
  I 
  suspect 
  that 
  it 
  feeds 
  on 
  Lepisma 
  and 
  perhaps 
  

   on 
  small 
  Blattids. 
  

  

  Final 
  nyfri'ph: 
  Head 
  browii, 
  laterally 
  dark 
  fuscous, 
  under- 
  

   side 
  yellowish 
  browii. 
  Labium, 
  sterna 
  and 
  legs 
  yellowish- 
  

   brown. 
  Antennae 
  dark 
  fuscous, 
  basal 
  half 
  of 
  second 
  segment 
  

   paler, 
  fourth 
  yellowish 
  white. 
  Pronotum 
  dark 
  purplish 
  

   pescous, 
  scutellum, 
  etc., 
  paler, 
  with 
  a 
  pale 
  median 
  line 
  from 
  

   apical 
  margin 
  of 
  pronotum 
  to 
  hind 
  angle 
  of 
  scutellum. 
  The 
  

   lateral 
  margin 
  of 
  pronotum 
  yellowish 
  brown, 
  the 
  same 
  parts 
  

   as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  posterior 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  tegminal 
  pads 
  are 
  brown, 
  

   the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  dark 
  fuscous. 
  Abdomen 
  sanguineous, 
  tho 
  

   flaps 
  blackish. 
  

  

  The 
  head 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  adult, 
  but 
  the 
  eyes 
  are 
  a 
  

   little 
  smaller. 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  is 
  very 
  different, 
  the 
  

   lateral 
  margins 
  being 
  reflected. 
  The 
  hind 
  margins 
  still 
  more 
  

   widely 
  so. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  twice 
  as 
  wide 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  than 
  

   at 
  the 
  apical 
  margin, 
  lateral 
  margins 
  slightly 
  convexly 
  rounded 
  

   (not 
  concavely 
  sinuate). 
  The 
  labium 
  reaches 
  to 
  the 
  middle 
  

   coxae, 
  the 
  first 
  segment 
  reaching 
  to 
  the 
  anterior 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  

   eye, 
  the 
  second 
  not 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  head, 
  the 
  third 
  to 
  

   the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  trochanter. 
  The 
  third 
  segment 
  is 
  the 
  

   longest 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  than 
  one-half 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  first, 
  a 
  little 
  

   more 
  than 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  is 
  three 
  times 
  as 
  

   lonar 
  as 
  the 
  fourth. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  four 
  times 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   pronotum, 
  the 
  second 
  segment 
  is 
  about 
  three-fourths 
  longer
