Described from a series of three males and a female 

 taken by the writer on the underside of leaves of iron- 

 wood, Carpinus caroliniana, at Yokena, Miss., July 20, 

 1921, and a female taken on the underside of a leaf of the 

 French mulberry, Callicarpa americana, at Vicksburg, Miss., 

 July 18, 1921. 



Following the time-honored custom of dedicating species 

 in the Derbinae to prominent hemipterists I take pleasure 

 in naming this interesting species after W. L. McAtee who 

 has contributed much to our knowledge of the group. 



THE GENUS ANOTIA KIRBY 



This genus was erected in 1819 by Kirby with Anotia 

 bonnetii as the type. It is characterized chiefly by the great 

 length of the antennae, which are long and more or less 

 cylindrical in some species and in others flat on both sides 

 and notched at the tip to receive the seta, and all are 

 destitute of basal appendages. In all of the North American 

 species known there are a number of oblique sanguineous 

 veinlets along the costal margins of the elytra towards the 

 apex. Anotia species are very gauzy-winged and are ex- 

 tremely delicate. 



Members of the genus are rare, usually being collected 

 one or two specimens at a time at long intervals; hence 

 the writer does not have material adequate for preparation 

 of a key and uniform descriptions. Seven species were 

 described in the "Biologia Oentrali-Americana" and there 

 have been six described from the United States. 



Most of these, so far as known, are bush and tree-in- 

 habiting forms and are found in low humid deciduous 

 woods. Fitch states that his westwoodi is met with fre- 

 quently upon grasses and on willows in lowland meadows 

 in New York from August until the end of the season.
