elytra and the pronotal margins black. Length 4mm. to tip 

 of the membrane. 



Head vertical ; base of the vertex depressed, the basal 

 carina prominent. Pronotum a little narrower than in later- 

 alis, the humeral angles more prominent ; surface sloping, 

 scarcely convex, nearly smooth. Basal lobe of the scutellum 

 well exposed. Elytra nearly parallel ; the apex of the abdo- 

 men nearly attaining the tip of the cuneus. 



Color light salmon-yellow. Tip of the head with a polished 

 black spot covering the apex of the front, inner cheeks and 

 base of the clypeus. Margins of the pronotum rather broadly 

 black both above and below, the black being continued around 

 the humeral angles for a little way. Apical lobe of the scu- 

 tellum infuscated. Elytra salmon-yellow ; a straight commis- 

 sural vitta covering about one-third of their width and a sub- 

 costal line reaching nearly to the apex, black ; cuneus pale, 

 its extreme tip touched with fuscous. Beneath pale with a 

 broad black vitta along each side, meeting on the genital seg- 

 ment. Legs pale, the hind tibise infuscated or black; tarsi 

 black at apex. 



Redescribed from two female examples, one from Kings- 

 ton, R. L. taken in August, the other taken by me at Hamburg, 

 N. Y., July 10, 1898. The salmon color with the black me- 

 dian vitta and pronotal margins and the submarginal black 

 line on the costa will readily distinguish this pretty species. 



32. Orthotylus candidatus, new species. 



Aspect of formosus, but smaller, more nearly allied to siih- 

 marginatus. Almost white, a little tinged with yellow or ful- 

 vous; median line of the head and scutellum and the sides of 

 the pronotum narrowly black. Length 5mm. 



Head as in formosus, more oblique than in most of our 

 species. Vertex considerably depressed, the basal carina prom- 

 inent and conspicuous. Front polished, but little convex. Cly- 

 peus almost tumidly prominent, highly polished. Eyes large, 

 viewed from the side oval and reaching nearly to the gula. 

 Rostrum scarcely attaining the base of the intermediate coxre. 

 Pronotum as in submarg'uiatus, the callosities large, little ele- 

 vated, their inner margins parallel and closely approximated.
