HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA. 353 



Inhabits Indiana. 



Body fuscous : head with the process before the eyes acute and 

 rather prominent; nasus somewhat robust: antennae reddish- 

 brown, second and third joints equal; fourth joint two-thirds 

 the length of the third : thorax with two approximate elevated 

 lines and a less obvious lateral line which is obsolete before; 

 lateral margin rather widely reflected, yellowish : hemelytra 

 varied a little with dull yellowish: humerus yellowish, dilated; 

 tergum with rather broad transverse rufous lines on the margin ; 

 rostrum longer than the head : venter, on the margin like the 

 margin of the tergum. 



Length seven-twentieths of an inch. 



The equality in length of the second and third joints of the 

 antennae, distinguishes this species. [ 798 ] 



7. A. GRANULATUS. — Second joint of the antennae shorter 

 than the third; corium but little longer than the scutel, edge oi 

 the thorax obtusely emarginate. 



Inhabits Florida and Indiana. 



Body fuscous, densely granulated : head with an impr 

 line each side near the eyes and two near the middle, an acute 

 point before the eyes and an obtuse tip : antenna; rather short, 

 second and fourth joints equal; third joint longest: thorax 

 slightly lineated before, but without any appearance of an elevated 

 line behind : lateral edge obtusely emarginate before the middle: 

 scutel broad, obtuse at tip : hemelytra narrower than the abdo- 

 men ; humerus not dilated; nervures distinct; corium but little 

 longer than the scutel, with rather prominent nervures ; mem- 

 brane dull whitish: wings as long as the hemelytra: tergum, 

 beneath the wings, rufous: rostrum not longer than the li> 



Length one-fifth of an inch. 



I found it common in Florida. 



With the two following species, it possesses many charai 

 in common with Aneurus, and may be considered as the connec- 

 ting link with that genus. It has the short, dilated rostrum; 

 the second joint of the antenna? shorter than the third; the 

 wide, obtuse scutel; the short feet, and the anterior feet set wide 

 aparj as m tnat genus, but the appearance of the head and the 

 structure of the hemelytra correspond with Aradus, excepting 

 the brevity of the corium.
