sented by a distinct yellowish, fuscous-bordered spot, above insertion 

 of front leg; a pale vitta across side of meso- and meta-thorax, and a 

 series of about three dark and three pale bands on sides of abdominal 

 segments. These markings may be traced in dark specimens of the 

 other varieties of colon. 



Rather a heterogenous assemblage, but on account of over- 

 lapping variations not easily divisible into smaller groups. 



Well-marked dark specimens of this variety answer well to 

 the description of Paracalocoris attenuatus Distant*, but in the 

 absence of authentic specimens of that form, it is preferable 

 to use a different name. If the two forms are later found to be 

 identical, the fact can easily be indicated.
