HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA. ;_' | 



Inhabits United States. 



Body piceous-black : head emarginate : antennae, second joint 

 dull rufous; ultimate two joints rather long: thorax with 

 numerous punctures, before the middle impunctured ; lateral 

 edge white : hemelytra on the lateral edge white : abdomen 

 excepting at base, with a white edge : tibiae white on the exte- 

 rior edge. 



Length about one-fifth of an ineh. 



It is smaller than hilmeatus nob., and larger than spini/rons 

 nob., and very different from either by many characters. A 

 very common species. It much resembles the binotatus, but is 

 destitute of the white spots of the hemelytra. [ 768 ] 



[Described also as Schirus albonotatus Dallas, Brit. Mus. Cat 

 Hempt. part 1, 127. — Uhler.] 



2. C. bilineatus nob. 



Var. a. picea. Entirely light piceous. 



Inhabits Indiana. 



[Belongs to Aethus Dallas.] 



GONOCERUS Lat. 



Gr. antennator Fabr. The author describes this species to 

 have the second joint of the antennae scabrous and the " ultimo 

 claviformi." Now if these characters are correct, a species in 

 my collection, and which is not rare, is altogether new ; but 

 this I consider doubtful. I will however state the differential 

 characters, viz : 



G-. dubius. — Antennae, first joint scabrous or with short 

 spines ; ultimate joint oblong oval. 



Length nearly half an inch. 



Inhabits Pennsylvania and Indiana. 



It is probably the insect that naturalists refer to antennator F 



[Appears to be Coreus antennator Fabr. Syst. Rhyng. 198 : 

 it belongs to Chariestertis, and is C. moestus H. Schf. 7, pi. 217, 

 fig. 681.— Uhler.] 



SYROMA[S]TES Lat. 

 1. S. reflexulus. — Reddish-brown ; head carinate before. 

 Inhabits Pennsylvania. 

 Body reddish-brown, with rather large, confluent punctures :
