   (except

  the

  In

  specimens 
  the 
  whitish 
  mark 
  on 
  corium 
  

   is 
  almost 
  absent, 
  giving 
  the 
  insect 
  the

  of 
  having 
  a

  black 
  

   corium.

  This 
  species 
  runs 
  to 
  F. 
  hishistillatus 
  (Stal) 
  in 
  Poppius' 
  key 
  (Acta 
  

   Soc. 
  Sci. 
  Fennicae, 
  vol. 
  37, 
  pt. 
  4, 
  p. 
  32, 
  1909), 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  

   latter 
  by 
  the 
  much 
  less 
  marked 
  light 
  area 
  on 
  corium, 
  larger 
  size, 
  and 
  

   male 
  genitalia 
  (fig. 
  lb,g). 
  It 
  also 
  shows 
  similarity 
  with 
  Fulvius 
  

   imbecilis 
  (Say), 
  1832, 
  but 
  can 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  

   hemielytra, 
  antennae, 
  and 
  male 
  genitaha. 
  From 
  Fulvius 
  quadristU- 
  

   latus 
  (Stal), 
  1860, 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  color 
  and 
  male 
  genitalia 
  (fig. 
  75,6).
