Pediopsis canadensis V. D. 



Pediopsis flo7-escens \ . D. Review, Ent. Am , p. 173, 1889. 

 Pediopsis canadensis V. D. Can. Ent , XXIL, p. in, i8qo. 



Greenish or reddish yellow, elytra brownish with two light bands, 

 one near the base, the other across the apex of clavus. Length, 4.75 

 mm.; width, 1.5 mm. 



Pronotum obtusely angled, elytra broad, rounding at apex ; color, 

 greenish or reddish yellow on face, pronotum and scutellum. Ely- 

 tra brownish with a narrow light band just back of the apex of scutel- 

 lum, and a broader one across the apex of clavus. 



Below, fulvous, propleura unmarked. 



The types and two other specimens from New York show consider- 

 able variation in the depth of the brown color between the base and 

 the first light band, and suggest that this may possibly be an extreme 

 form of bifasciata, but the breadth of the elytra and the absence of 

 black markings on the scutellum and propleura would seem to be suf- 

 ficient to separate it. 



Habitat, Canada and New York.

Distinctly greenish or greenish brown with heavy fuscous or black 

 markings in the basal angles of the scutellum, the basal half of the 

 elytra, and again at the apex ; males brownish with the elytra scarcely 

 marked Length, $ 5.25 mm.; ^, 4.50 mm.: width, 1.50 mm. 



Vertex obtusely angled, thicker and more rounding than in ferni- 

 ginoides. Pronotum greenish, washed with brown on the disc, often 

 two fuscous marks on the anterior margins, rugae shallow, irregular, 

 scutellum greenish, two spots just inside the basal angles fuscous, and 

 two smaller round ones on the disc brown. Elytra: in the female 

 whitish sub-hyaline, the costal margin greenish, a very variable amount 

 of fuscous or black on the basal half, sometimes confined to the 

 corium, often clear across, and again at the apex where it is usually in 

 the form of a triangle, the apex in the anteapical cells; in the male 

 the elytra are often brownish sub-hyaline and the fuscous markings
