Vol. VII] GIFFARD— CALIFORNIA HEMIPTERA 273 



from Seattle received from Prof. Aldrich labelled longicornis 

 Uhler MS. This latter specimen is a little smaller and paler 

 but does not seem to differ otherwise and I would use Uhler's 

 manuscript name for the species were it not inapplicable, as 

 the antennae in this form is proportionately shorter than in 

 most of our eastern species. 



Holotype (No. 343), male, from San Francisco, in collec- 

 tion of the California Academy of Sciences. 



Allotype, female, from San Francisco, in collection of Mr. 

 Giffard. 



Paratypes in collection of the California Academy of 

 Sciences, and in those of Mr. Giffard and of the author.

 margin of the pronotum.

141. Paraproba cincta, new species 



Aspect of pendula; a little larger, antennae, outer edge and slender 

 commissural margin of the elytra and the membranal nervures brown. 

 Length 4^-5 mm. 



Head as in pendula. Antennae a little longer ; first segment as long as 

 the pronotum and anterior lobe of the scutellum together; second as long 

 as the head, pronotum and scutellum united. Elytra longer than in pen- 

 dula, the tip of the abdomen in the female reaching barely to the middle 

 of the cuneus. Legs longer and more slender than in pendula. Male geni- 

 tal characters rather obscure, the ventral surface of the pygofer extended 

 in a rounded lobe. 



Color pale yellowish white or greenish. Antennae soiled yellowish ; seg- 

 ments one and two brown or almost black exteriorly and somewhat ob- 

 scure below; third and fourth segments infuscated. Neck marked with a 

 fuscous point behind each eye, which is scarcely visible through the prono- 

 tum, but becomes conspicuous when the head is excerted. Scutellar and 

 commissural margins of the clavus black ; beyond this is a very faint 

 cloud recalling that found in pendula; extreme tip of the cuneus blackish; 

 nervures of the membrane heavy, browTi ; a mark on the base of the hind 

 tibiae exteriorly and the tip of the tarsi brown.
