Vol. VI] VAN DUZEE— SPECIES OF ORTHOTYLUS 125 



behind distinguished by a feebly arcuated conspicuous trans- 

 verse impressed Hne. Basal lobe of the scutellum moderately 

 exposed. Elytra subhyaline. 



Color very pale testaceous, almost white, tinged with yel- 

 low on the pronotum, scutellum and legs, and with fulvous on 

 the head, the basal carina of the vertex being of a deeper ful- 

 vous. Middle line of the vertex and front, a transverse line 

 between the antennae, narrow lateral margins of the pronotum, 

 a median vitta on the scutellum, expanded on the basal lobe, 

 and the slender scutellar and commissural edges of the clavus, 

 black. Beneath with a broad percurrent black vitta on either 

 side. Basal joint of the antennae black; the second ferrugin- 

 ous, fuscous on apical third ; third fuscous. Tips of the tibiae 

 and the tarsi darker. Elytra whitish-testaceous, subhyaline, 

 with an obscure fuscous line inside the principal nervure ; the 

 apex of the costal area touched with fulvous. Membrane 

 faintly infuscated, the nervure brownish, the surface of the 

 areole milky-hyaline. Surface very minutely pale pubescent. 



Described from a single female example taken by Mrs. 

 Annie Trumbull Slosson on Mt. Washington, N. H. This in- 

 teresting addition to our Capsid fauna may be distinguished 

 by its whitish color marked with a black line on the vertex, 

 scutellum, sides of the body beneath, and narrow lateral mar- 

 gins of the pronotum. The male is likely to be more broadly 

 marked with black. 



Type, female, in collection of Mrs. A. T. Slosson. 



33. Orthotylus necopinus, new species. 



Allied to dorsalis, but much larger and a little more 

 widened posteriorly ; dark fuscous brown with an obscure dor- 

 sal vitta and a pale arc at the base of the cuneus. Length 

 6^ mm. to tip of membrane. 



Head as in dorsalis, the vertex much flattened, almost ex- 

 cavated before the very prominent basal carina. Front rather 

 prominent, polished ; clypeus less prominent than in the allied 

 species, its incised base a little below the line of the antennae. 

 Eyes large, viewed from the side ovate and reaching nearly to 

 the gula. Pronotum as in dorsalis, well narrowed anteriorly; 

 callosities small, prominent; posterior lobe transversely rugose;
