Paracalocoris scrupeus var. sordidus n. var. 



Similar to variety par, the principal difference being that scutellum 

 except the sloping lateral portions is sordid yellowish, paler along median 

 line. The maculations of hemelytra are not so distinct as in par and the 

 dark markings of thorax tend to be merely fuscous cloudings.

Paracalocoris scrupeus var. bidens n. var. 



Head and antennae as in typical variety. 



Thorax with typical markings, except that clouding near posterior 

 angles may be absent. There are in some specimens traces of dark 

 markings at middle of hind margin of thorax and on anterior median 

 part of scutellum. Scutellum sometimes rather sordid with lighter 

 median vitta. Otherwise, thorax, scutellum, and broad lateral portions 

 of hemelytra, yellowish to red, brightest on cuneus; enclosing a discal 

 boot-jack shaped fuscous to piceous area, which is sometimes invaded 

 by pale maculations. Membrane dusky. 



I group with this variety all specimens varying toward var. 

 ardens (see below), but not clearly that form.
