Cimex Hirundinis Jenyns (Annais of Nat. Eist. 183D, III, 

 p. 243 und 244, plate 5, fig. 2): Fusco-ferrugineus : thorace leviter 

 emarginato , lateribus planis: abdomine ovato , apice subacuto: 

 antennis brevibus, articulis tertio et quarto subaequalibus. — Long. 

 1^/4 lin. Hab. in nidis Hirundinis urbicae. 



This specics is rather less than the C. columbarius, and in 

 respect to form , difterent from botli that and the C. lectularius. 

 The antennae are comparatively short, and the third Joint is scar- 

 cely, if at all, longer than the tburth. The cyes are not so pro- 

 minent. The thorax is m.uch less hollowed out in front, the anterior 

 angles but little produced, and the sides scarcely at all reflexed. 

 The scutellum is wider at the base or more transverse, and does 

 not project so far backwards. The elytra are less coarsely punctured 

 The abdomen is not so broad , and more rounded ad the apex; 

 the sides regularly curved. The whole inscct is more pubescent. 

 The colour is ferruginous inclining to testaceous, darker than in 

 the common bedbug; and the head and thorax are much clouded 

 with fuscons. In one specimen the legs are spotted, at or near 

 the joints, with this last cohnn-. Thero are also some fuscons spots 

 on the abdonun. — The young, or pupac^ have the abdomen much 

 narrower than the perfect inscct, inclining to oblong; (swarming 

 in a great number of martins' nests). — Eversmann (Bull. d. 1. 

 Soc. de Mose. 1841, II, 359).
