 distinctly paler and attaining the lateral margins. Scutellum 5-cari- 

 nate, sordid yellowish on the disc and dark fuscous outside of the 

 lateral carinae. Elytra long and rather broad, hyaline, clouded with 

 fuscous at base and slightly so towards the tip, a more or less obscure 

 or interrupted transverse band before the middle and the stigma 

 fuscous; nervures minutely punctated with black. Abdomen dark.

Redescrib^ed from two females taken by Charles Dury 

 at Cincinnati, Ohio, June 27, 1900, a female from Marion 

 County, Arkansas, taken by F. M. MacElfresh, and another 

 taken by the writer at Gainesville, Fla., in 1917. 



Say states that the species occurred in New Jersey early 

 in August on Pinus rigida. 



Oliarus vicarius WALKER 

 (1851 List Homop., ii, p. 343, Cixius). 



Recorded from Md. (?), Ga., Fla., Texas (?), and Colo. 



(?). 



Very close to 5-lineatus, but is slightly larger, the elytra 

 are less strongly maculated, the stigma is longer and nar- 

 rower, and the wings are pellucid. 



General color pale fulvous-brown or ferruginous. Vertex longer 

 than wide, fulvous-brown with a whitish area on each side. Frons 

 enlarged to apex, with a median carina, brown. Pronotum short, 

 the lateral carinae curved out behind the eyes and attaining the 

 lateral margins. Scutellum long, fulvous-brown, paler on the disc, 

 with five carinae, the intermediate ones become evanescent or join 

 the median carinae some distance from the hind margin of the pro- 

 notum. Elytra transparent hyaline, the stigma and apical cross-veins 

 pale fuscous; nervures pale yellow with dark setigerous dots. Wings 

 pellucid, veins brown. Pale tawny brown beneath. Legs pale brown. 



Male pygofer long and slender, the ventral margin deeply cut out, 

 with a median tooth ; the genital styles rather long, hirsute, flexed out- 

 wards and downwards, the apical portion much enlarged; each style 

 resembling very much a tobacco pipe in general shape. 



Length of body 5.25 mm.; length to tip of elytra 7.75 mm. 



Redescribed from a male taken by C. J. Drake at 

 Gainesville, Fla., June 30, 1918.
