1917] Parshley—Notes on North American Tingide (Hemiptera) 19 
M. duryi O. & D. 
The shape of the antenne in this species is not correctly repre- 
sented in the figure given by the authors on page 15 of their second 
paper. In the type specimen the first and second segments are 
nearly equal in size, the third almost perfectly cylindrical with 
some slight enlargement toward the apex, decidedly longer in 
proportion to its thickness than indicated, and slightly curved as 
in all the other species of the genus except infuscata, and the fourth 
is thinner than the figure shows and fusiform, not conical. The 
anterior spines of the head are short and decidedly curved, the 
main veins of the hemielytra though strongly costate are unusually 
irregular, tending to follow the outlines of the areoles, and the 
general form is very broad, even for a short-winged form. 
M. lurida Stal and M. uniformis Stal. 
I believe that these species have been correctly located by Osborn 
and Drake, as from Stal’s descriptions it is impossible to suppose 
that these species differ from clavata in any characters of impor- 
tance beyond those drawn from the form of the antenne. I have 
seen infuscata sp. nov. in several collections determined as wuni- 
formis, but the former differs so strikingly from clavata, to which 
the latter is compared by Stal, that such a view cannot be enter- 
tained unless examination of Stal’s type should unexpectedly 
demonstrate its truth. 
Melanorhopala infuscata sp. nov. 
Long-winged form.—Dark yellowish brown with conspicuous 
darker markings. Head uniform brown, the spines paler; anten- 
ne dark brown, the fourth segment and apex of third slightly 
darker. Pronotum broadly and variably infuscated, lateral mar- 
gins and hood excepted; apex of angulate process yellowish white. 
Hemielytra variegated with very irregular and variable infuscation 
of veinlets here and there in all the areas, the infuscation some- 
times extending to large portions of the surface; sutural area with 
a large paler region at apex. Body beneath brown, abdomen 
broadly pale along median line, narrowly at the lateral margins; 
genital segment darker. Legs brown; tarsi black. Hind wings 
fuscous.
