 Knight, and author's collection. 



34, Orthotylus fumidus, new species, 



A large fuscous form clothed with gray pubescence. Length 

 6mm, to tip of membrane. 



Head distinctly oblique ; vertex scarcely flattened, the basal 

 carina apparently wanting; front hardly convex, transversely 

 striate; clypeus large, but little prominent; apex of the cheeks 

 tumid. Eyes large, prominent; viewed from the side a little 

 oblique, almost attaining the line of the gula, Pronotum mod- 

 erately sloping, nearly flat, the sides almost rectilinear; cal- 

 losities large, flat. Basal lobe of the scutellum narrowly ex- 

 posed. Abdomen reaching to the tip of the cuneus. Legs long 

 for this genus. Rostrum short, not attaining the base of the 

 intermediate coxae. 



Color a uniform fuscous-brown, probably nearly black 

 when fully mature; tinged with rufous on the head, apex of 

 the pronotum, and base of the legs ; sides of the venter with a 

 black vitta. Membrane blackish, the nervures of the smaller 

 areole pale. Whole surface clothed with short white decid- 

 uous hairs. 



Described from one female example taken by me at Ft. 

 Collins, Colo,, July 28, 1898, This individual may be some- 

 what immature, but, while not typical of this genus, the species 

 evidently belongs here and is included to complete the enumer- 

 ation of our species, so far as they are known to me. 



Type, female, in author's collection.
