360 HETEROPTEROUS HEMIPTERA. 



scutel blackish : hemelytra conspicuously hairy, with a [few] dull 

 yellowish, spots, as well on the membrane as the corium : pectus 

 a little varied with black ; remaining inferior surface including 

 the feet immaculate. 



Length to tip of hemelytra under one-fourth of an inch. 



This species may be recognised by its more obviously hairy 

 vesture ; its color is also paler than usual in this genus. 



3. A. LUGUBRis. — Black; membrane of the hemelytra, ob-

Inhabits Missouri. 



Body black, subopake : head between the antennae with three 

 yellowish points : antennae first and second joints dull yellowish 

 before : thorax and scutel immaculate : hemelytra immaculate on 

 the corium, or with an obsolete dull yellowish point on the 

 middle of the tip; membrane with two or three obsolete dull

 along the sub-margin, yellowish, membrane dull yellowish, with 

 black nervures and fuscous oblong spots in a transverse series 

 alternating with the nervures : feet and rostrum yellowish.

The interstitiaUs nob., which this resembles, has the exterior
